They call us "mediocre Morecambe" in the report !!

They have Craig Stanley as man of the match. good job he wasn't dropped as some on here suggested.

I bet they'd love to have the luxury of being mediocre at the moment!!!

I notice it says that Willo's booking was for dissent.

Just goes to show that the local press have the local slant on any game, we do the same with our reports sometimes too. If we were mediocre on saturday, they must have been much worse than even I had imagined. We dominated them for all but about ten minutes of the game and what I saw was a side being pulled all over the place at the back. You know it's been comfortable when Danny Adams comes on near the end at left back, only to do some brilliant skills in the left wing position. The north stand weren't cheering every touch because we'd been mediocre, we were cheering because we'd worked them off the pitch and had the freedom and confidence to pass the ball around.
