It does, but results like this, considering the number the number of injuries accrued before and during the game, even if Witton's defence wasn''t as rock solid as I had feared, do give hope that we might see results like those once more - just possibly.

It was great to see our players play like their CV's today.

We've seen it at Stalybridge that it isn't always possible to combine 10 new signings and it click straight away.  They couldn't live with us today and for all our panicing (based on the years of nonsense watched) they never really troubled us too much and could have no complaints.  I think as the team learns how each other plays and likes the ball we are going to become a really good side.

Aside from the great goals, there were two real body on the line blocks, one in the first half and one in the second to stop shots.  Does anyone know who did them?

Hannigan blocked well in the second half. Not sure who it was in the first.

Well done to the lads today, well deserved victory, there heavy tackling was a concern and surprised 1 if not 2 were not dismissed.

Hopefully our injuries will clear for the weekend.

Referee was very poor. The foul on Richman was at least a yellow, but he waved play on. Not his only mistake by some way.

The refs and liners are especially sh*te in this league.

But at least we don't seem to have those who strut about ruining the game with by the letter of the law decisions sending off loads for minor infringements with no intent...

We really should be allowed to pelt the officials with rotten tomatoes as they leave the pitch escorted by ATS ....and the assistant ref can then analyse the amount of fruit shown and mark the officials accordingly....
