First match I'd been able to go to in quite a while so enjoyed seeing us win.
Thought we were lucky really to keep a clean sheet, if Blyth had a striker that has the composure and quality in front of goal that Jake Wright showed today would have been a v different scoreline they certainly had their chances particularly in first half, they did get through us quite easy just lucky for us didn't have the quality in front of goal and probably lack of confidence being near bottom of league. If we were playing a top half side today not confident we'd have got 3 points. We look a bit fragile without platt in midfield, missing some key players in the spine of the team at the moment.
On the positive side we took our chances tried to play good football, Jake Wright was quality and took his chances well to seal the win.
Pretty much spot on summary of the game. On paper, a comfortable win. As anyone who was there will tell you, far from it! Had they got a decent striker Saturday would probably have been a topsy-turvey goal fest and not one I'd be entirely sure we'd have won. Two bad defensive errors led to Jake Wright's goals (not to detract from his finishes, though, which were exceptional!) and it was only a pretty stunning assist from McLintock that unlocked Blyth for Ferguson's first. Up to that point we had absolutely nothing going on in the final third.
Slightly different in the second-half - we weathered long spells of Blyth possession quite well and they never looked like getting back into it. They actually looked a very decent footballing side in spells, certainly better than some teams I've seen this season. They clearly lack a striker though, luckily for us.
All that being said, given the injuries, lots of positives to take. Was particularly impressed with Joe Simpson's post-match interview, he speaks very well and it was good to hear him describe the match we all saw, whereas with Cox it often felt he'd been watching an entirely different game.
