How to win a League : play poorly and nick a 1-0

Fantastic. Shame I couldn't make it but buzzing to hear we won and that Leek drew! We're turning the screw now...

Nothing to add other than magic.

Moments like the goal and the celebration that ensued are what football is about.

Absolutely f-ing magic.

I'ts a team game nut bloody hell tonksy, take a step forward kid. I could kiss the chap. Class.

Before I credit our lads I have to give credit to Loughborough. They defended everything we threw at them superbly, and caused us one or two problems too with Sergeant having to deal with them on a couple of occasions.If I was their manager I'd be asking them why they hadn't performed like that all season! They were competitive, but played in a good spirit.

To a man, once again I thought we battled brilliantly. It was always likely to be an edgy performance if we didn't score early, and so that is how it turned out. The players though didn't give up and kept going until Tonksy scored a worldly! The celebration that ensued was absolutely brilliant, you could see how much it meant to them and the fans. Credit also to the Gaffer, the substitutions he made gave us fresh impetus at just the right time.

With Leek dropping points its imperative we move on quickly to Tuesday at Sheffield and get in there and do the same job and get 3 points. Hopefully we'll still take a good following up there despite it being a Tuesday night!

Well done also to us lot, only 20 less than Stourbr*dge, who had bouncy castles and reduced price admission. Thought the Mexican Yeltz were brilliant too!

See you on Tuesday!

Once again, Rob, a very accurate precis of the game - by the way my old ribs are OK after your bear hug and lift after Tonksy scored!
Buttocks clenched before the goal and an even firmer contraction during the minutes up to the final whistle.
My mate's brother was over from California to swell the gate and saw a win for the first time in four visits.
The emphasis at this stage of the season is results and today, although not one of our best showings, we demonstrated what an entire team performance can achieve.
Onwards and upwards!
