Credit to Hurst for not starting Wilson despite the demands from many fans. Best not to risk him when he's just getting back and fit. Hopefully he's getting closer and closer to a start. Going to have to protect Maher also.
Good to see competition in midfield with Andrews also. Ominous, but it seems Efete is our best left back. It's probably ok over the short term, but I hope Amos can fight his way be into contention, do not want to risk an injury to a RB otherwise we won't have cover there.

Has that ever happened before? Wilson scored with his first touch Saturday, and scored with his first touch tonight. Looks to me like we have found our striker!

Wasn't his first touch tonight, he had a channel run before the goal I thought....mind you probably his 4th touch though so not bad 😉

We were, in general, flipping terrible throughout most of the game tonight. They were way better than us on the night but, for a change, we took a couple of our chances whilst they missed most of theirs.
Whole-hearted defending throughout, but a distinct lack of intelligence to go with it - so many aimless whacks upfield straight to one of their players, fluffed headers and clearances not finding safety and too much panic overall.
Their No. 20 who came on caused all sorts of problems but it was impressive the way they played it into him to lay off rather than for just hopeful flicks into space.
If they aren't in and around the play-offs come the end of the season, I'll be amazed because, as poor as we were, they played some excellent stuff.

Oh, forgot to say, two really good goals for the strikers and I thought Andrews did pretty well, showing a lot of potential. Conteh booked for his first challenge as usual. I really don't know what the lad can do if referees keep buying the antics of opposition players as they roll around in feigned agony every time he touches them.
And about the referee, he stopped play for Efete to get treatment at the end, we waved it away saying it wasn't necessary and he ordered our physio to come in so Efete had to go off for no treatment! Never seen anything like that before.

We definitely can't complain about that mate. He stopped them crossing the ball in injury time. If that was the other way round there would've been a riot. Definitely liked the look of Andrew's and I thought Gav did pretty well especially second half. Seems a bit odd when they dominated most of the game. Defense looked ragged, first half we got torn to pieces down our right. Some brilliant blocks and clearances from Waterfall, Rogers and Eastwood saved the day. Just glad to get the points.

Efete taking a knock stopped that chance, but they than had a drop ball with us reduced to ten men and their keeper having the time to get into our box! Luckily, Eastwood held it.

A very welcome 3 points. Had we lost tonight we would be right in the relegation mix.
We still are!

Well. We're 6 points from relegation, 6 points from play-offs, so if we're going by that logic, we're also in the mix for the play-offs . We could just drop the hyperbole though, and say it's early, and we're mid-table.

We should have lost tonight and had we done so we would have been right in the relegation mix at this (early) stage. If you think the luckiest win I have seen for some time takes us into mid table security then you have rose tinted glasses on.
