    Have to say I'm smiling tonight.

    Not a great game by any means, BUT I can really see some chinks of light.

    Thought Pearson had a great second half, taking pressure off us with his bursts away from our box.

    Scowen - get that lad in the side. Just what we need. Some energy and guile in midfield.

    A back 4 that is not just kids. No disrespect to our younger players (I'd still select Holgate) , bu we look so much better with Ramage and Cranie in the side.

    And Sam. Can't possibly be fully fit, but instantly lifted us. Love his determination

    If we can keep players fit, I honestly expect us to kick on.

    A lot more to be positive about definitely. Still a long way to go mind...another win on Tuesday would get the confidence up even more.

    A poor performance but a fantastic result.

    We had 3 players on that pitch who haven't got a footballing brain between them in Hemmings, Lalkovic & M'Voto though. All 3 have no awareness at all.

    I thought Lalkovic got lucky with the goal. I was convinced he pulled it back after it had crossed the line for what would otherwise have been a goal kick. It was certainly tight.

    Lalkovic was out of play, don't think the ball was.

    I'm convinced they both were.

    Just read something that suggests that the ball was "a foot out of play, according to the video".

    Ah well, you win some you lose some..... Glad this one went our way.

    We needed a bit of luck. Their players complained bitterly after the goal so I thought it might have gone out, but didn't have a clear view...

    If Lalkovic has no footballing brain then I want more footballers without footballing brains.

    Same here. Definitely looked over the line. He got really lucky with the decision & the keepers mistake because he should've pulled it back for one of our players who was in a great position to score

    He can still be an effective player because of his pace & trickery but he's frustrating to watch at times. Picks the wrong option or will turn into trouble at times.
