Well what a game i thought that we were shocking in the first 20 minutes but i thought that we played some good stuff after that as we were passing the ball around fluently but most of our goals conceded were from defensive mistakes and to be honest i thought that the penna that we got was a bit soft but in all fairness we have had loads of decisions go against us this season so we will take it. Well done guys great character to come back from a goal down to win. Just some statistics we now have 40 points which is only 2 points off last years total so we only need a win to beatg that total and we are now 17th in the from table. well done guys i am looking forward to next weeks game against Hebburn at home come on Thornaby
