Making the playoffs is still going to be tough, yesterdays win was massive and may prove to be decisive in the coming weeks. I thought the Buxton game had everything, drama, a clown of a ref, a good physical opposition, late goals and a good old non league scrap in the dugout and all of this in freezing mist. I would'nt swap any of that for premier league bollocks ever. David Newton and co have worked miracles around the place in the last couple of years and theres a real positive buzz around the ground.
I thought all the lads were fantastic yesterday and battled for best part of an hour with ten men. Strangely, up until the sending off i thought we were off the pace and lucky to be level. Football never ceases to surprise me, evern after nearly 30 years of following us. I had a strange feeling we could still nick it at the end if we got a set piece. Pearson for me has turned out to be a hell of a signing, at just 20 he commands the back four, is extremely vocal, physical, commited and you know he'll throw his body at anything. Fantastic bullet header aswell. Must also give Parker some long overdue credit as i doubted his ability last season and thought he was out his depth. He's come on leaps and bounds in a year and with his versatility i think he's become a really important player for us. Well done Liam, a good solid centre half if ever i saw one.
Well done lads, i won't be seeing much of us for a while now as i'm relocating down to Brighton but what a game to leave on. Hopefully get back for the FC United game, can't miss that one.
