You clearly have more faith in my predictive abilities than I do, Dev, but it may evaporate fairly quickly after a weeks of my involvement in the Prediction League. It was nothing more than a hunch, really, as is my suspicion that we might get a result against Grimsby. I certainly wouldn`t recommend running down to the bookies on the back of it, though.
I really couldn`t pick a MoM; we were tucked away in a corner of the ground at low level, it rained non-stop and my eyesight isn`t what it was (I wasn`t even sure who got our first goal until half-time) so I really couldn`t be sure who was who at the far end of the ground at times. I certainly wouldn`t argue with Lee Shaw, though. He is agile, nippy and has a low centre of gravity, all of which were ideal for those skidpan conditions; defenders just couldn`t turn quick enough to keep up with him. It`s a shame he couldn`t put that chance away; I think it would have done his confidence the power of good.
To be honest, apart from his goals I though Tom Denton was fairly anonymous throughout. Still, you really can`t argue with a hat-trick I suppose. We`ve all been crying out for somebody to start sticking the ball in the net and he did it on Tuesday.
