Never saw that scoreline at HT at which point I thought we'd competed ok. Wotford always break forward well, quick passing and forwards that move into space who are technically strong. Luckily we got the break after upping the tempo noticeably 2nd half, Buttercups driven ball into the box (just as the heavens opened with blowey sleet/hale) and Wells banged in the loose ball. Smith let their man get past him at the bye line and Smithies fumbled/tumbled it to cross the line and it looked like they would take advantage, luckily they failed when Abdi I think, ran clear a few minutes later then skied it over from within the box. JV clipped home to give us a lead and from our position in the moaning section of the DGL couldnt fully appreciate Bet's overhead strike, looked like in the melee it might have come back out and got scrambled back in again but by then we were jumping around and taking the piss out of their bus load that got all cocky down the front for most of the game as most decided to exit early.

In terms of team performance we looked more solid with Bet back from his own winter break, Robinson I thought was superb defended well got forward when he could, Scanz excellent early then was told to hang back by CP to match their 5 midfield ploy, then man marked Anya who came on late to match his lightning pace. Our favourite Black forestieri gateaux Diving Italian was injured sadly as no doubt he'd have punished us as he does.

So yes 3 superb unexpected points, looking forward to seeing extended highlights later. Crowd was quiet till we scored really, NSL the wind was in their favour and the noise did travel north today, infact the Kilner got going too, even the DGL late on, the whole crowd and spirit was lifted and needed to be after last Saturday. CP honest in his post match with Oggy and looking forward to giving it a go at Boro but more importantly getting a result at Wigan before Beeston role into town.
