Nice to be able to be positive for a change.

For the first 70 minutes it was a really good performance. After that a few weird substitutions caused a wobble or two, but it’s hard to knock the team on a day when they could easily have won by six or seven.

Gallen missed a penalty, but made up for it with a couple of good goals.

Rowlands looked positive in central midfield, and I was glad to see Ainsworth given the start he deserved on the right. Lee Cook looked up for it against his old team, and Birch had a bit more steel back again.

Furlong was tireless, and got a deserved goal. When he went off, the crowd sang “36? You’re having a laugh…” which sums it up. He’s neck and neck with Marcus Bignot for my player of the season.

All in all, we looked like we cared, which is something that has been missing for a few matches.
