Wow. What a game in the end it turned out to be.
A fantastic start and, a second half to be proud of. I was a little gutted that we allowed them back in it after getting our noses in front with one long ball into that left channel. It was so simple.
But, credit where it’s due, with injury issues in the game, and the home side subdued the away end a LITTLE early in the second half, the players didn’t let it get to them. When Diaby went off it actually seemed to be a case of, ‘f**k adversity, we’re having this’ and that’s not a slight on Bambo either as I thought he did when when he came on.
Vaulks was HUGE yesterday, and IMO there needs to be a pat on the back for Marv too. Goal aside, in that second half he made so many vital touches when it looked like they’d got in round the back he got there with a head or a toe at the last.
That win felt huge, just getting out of the bottom 3 even though it’s far from over, just seemed to give a new belief to everyone.
It was a memorable day, on 21st April again, a day which has in the past served us well. But, it means nothing if we don’t follow it up.
