    Doing Newsbot's job again. They are posted - why not announce it straight away??

    Just going to enjoy a ten minute watch now.

    I watched them a bit ago.

    Must say, Toney and Hammill were the standout players for us judging by the highlights.

    Toney has a cracking first touch, can bring the ball down well, is threatening in the air, and yesterday he finally got a goal. Hopefully he can kick on now. I think the lack of chances we're converting is a greater issue than the number of mistakes at the back. Ideally both areas need addressing, but considering the number of chances we get, we should be scoring more goals.

    There was controversy over our 2nd goal, but having seen the goal, it's as clear as day that Toney is onside.

    I thought we were unlucky with the 2 we did conceed. Nyatanga seems to be fouled for their first goal, and Hammill was fouled in the build up for the 2nd, however White should be cutting out the cross, and Mawson should really be ahead of Grigg.

    You can say what you want about our form, but for me our performances don't warrant being bottom of the league, and I feel in places, we've been very unlucky.

    Hmm very nice watching that. Fantastic run early on from Adam, from well within his own half, Paddy-like slalom through their defence and then a rasping shot that the keeper only just saved. Great goal from the lad as well. Got to keep him.

    Second half and a great shot from CH which popped up nicely off the keeper for Toney to nod in. Good positioning. Looks a player to me. Loved that terrific bit of link up play between White and Hammill.

    Toney should have scored again. Watkins should have had a brace at least. Good penalties from us, rubbish from Agents Perkins and Davies.

    Terrific looking turnout from our fans. Wish I had joined them. Well done to all.

    PS. This is not, I repeat NOT a bottom of the league team. The position is deserved based on a string of poor results but they are much better than that. Come February we will be challenging the top ten spots. There must be at least 20 worse teams than us in this division.

    Pearson man of the match for me, by some distance. You won't see that on the highlights, but he ran the midfield, won tackles, drove us forward, played out of his skin. Toney was average until his goal, then looked a different player. Winnall and Hammill were little shits, annoying the opposition, annoying their fans etc. Very clever.

    Just need a proper leader at the back, maybe Kevin Long's that man?



    And fair play to Aidy White, looked ten times the player he did last week, key to our second goal.
