Thought those two today were fantastic, the best partnership I've seen up top for Town for a long time. LJL great power and use of the ball, great finish for the first goal. Pittman bit of a unsung hero today I think, his work rate off the ball was fantastic, he pulled there defenders all over the place and creating room for others.
Could these two be our ticket to promotion??????
In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions. Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them. GOD
I commented on Pittmans movement in the first half, he was full of energy and spent a lot of time down our left flank which dragged their defenders across and gave LJL and neilson so much room in the middle and on the right. Excellent movement and great partnership IMO
If there were 22 teams like Alfreton in the division we'd walk the league but we'll have to see against a varierty of different sides (who will have had advance warning of our new weaponry) before we can be sure. We've had lots false dawns before. Saying we've cracked it after one or two games is as bad as demanding the manager be sacked after 3 drawn games.
Still promising times!

Pitmann has such good control and can turn on a sixpence! Great cross for LJL's header and great calm finish for his goal! Another excellent performance today!
