Providing we don't get thumped in the first game of the play offs, I feel this has been a good first season back whatever happens from now.

Huge credit and thanks to the owners and management  and players. Great effort. Whatever happens now, we have done really well this season. Under this regime, we will be progressive. Let’s stand together and go for it. UTM

Oh, and as an aside - Shaun Pearson. Legend. He encapsulates all that’s needed. What a man.

When we were in the league before, I think many of us thought promotion was a given, a right almost, which meant that we went into the playoffs every year expecting to win. Well I did,  At first anyway.

This time out I think many of us feel we have done really well to get into the play offs at the first attempt and any thing else is a bonus. But whatever happens in the play offs we have the basis for a very strong side for next season.

Good performance, should've won by more against very limited opposition.

Good performance and I have to say that Pearson was almost faultless tonight. In fact, the defence looked really solid, albeit against opposition which looked pretty limited. Smith has really settled into the team now. Back here again on loan next season, perhaps?

Unfortunately, Sousa didn't improve in the second half - he's absolutely lacking any confidence or form at the moment and is a shadow of the player who was terrorising defences during the early stages of the season. Still, he did manage to put one on a plate for Clifton who unfortunately didn't remember to head it down.

Holohan also a bit below par today, although both he and Sousa "Kept us shape" and were disciplined in their positioning.

McAtee took his goal well, but must be kicking himself for not adding a couple more as he was clean through on several occasions but either failed to get the right sort of shot away or put it too close to the keeper. The injury didn't seem to impact him too much which is good, but it was a strange sort of a game with no argy-bargy to speak of. I don't really remember a single late or dirty challenge and the physios weren't called on at all. In a 5th Division match, this is very unusual. I actually think that it was better that McAtee was trying to avoid too much physical contact because it meant he concentrated on movement instead.

Fox very good in midfield, in the first half especially. Taylor very classy up top though he did miscontrol more than usual, but we need to get the ball into his feet to see the best of him.

My main concern is that it's a game we should have won handsomely, yet we scraped it 1-0. Too many overhit passes and crosses in attacking areas after previously good play and too many wasted chances. The story of the season, in fact, which could well be too much to overcome in the play-offs.

Perhaps a few players may be rested on Sunday.

Taylor must need a rest with so many elbow marks in his back.

Rest McAtee ready for the playoffs.

Let James McKeown have his last game.

Max Wright to play what could be a last game?

Where is Raikhy? Must be worth him coming back as an extra option for midfield in the play off games?

Do think both current full backs need to practice centreing from their respective wings without overhitting. I gave up counting at 10 wasted centres. Must make the attacking midfielders and strikers frustrated, as the backs' attacking approach play is making chances.

Tonight - 3 options for me for MOM - McAtee, Pearson and Fox, all immense games, with the calmness of young Smith running them close.  Hope he stays for a season long loan next season.

The hard work starts after Sunday !! No more injuries, please !!
