Wow....we hung on there. For those who didn't go and are reading this, you may see the 2-1 result and think we were the better team and won the game.
That wasn't the case, we never got on the ball in the seond half, I think the concerning point was we had Richman, Moult and Williams in midfield in the second half but we were just over run, we couldn't put two passes together.
In the first half we were getting the ball wide and getting in behind them, in the second half the wingers just didn't get on the ball, I was not surprised with the substitutions. I though PP was trying to give us more energy in midfield as he could see we were being over run.
Whether this was a lack of match fitness, not having played for a few weeks, or maybe Kidderminster were just the better team. They had some really decent players, their number 3 caught the eye pressing forward on the left.
A good result, a performance to worry the management, but 3 points nearer the play off goal and some of the other results going in our favour.

Going 2 up was flattering but they didnt really threaten till the Thompson  faux par.

The back four were superb as was Williams.

The fact 3 of the front 4 got subbed says it all.

Winning ugly is ok now till end of season

Not an easy watch in the second half. We could have actually put the game to bed in the first half of the first half.

I would have put Chadwick up front with Jordon, at the end of the day he is a striker.

This game was very similar to the fixture at Aggborough in reverse

I think the lack of competitive game time did us no favours.
At the end of the day it was a valuable 3 pts.
Alfreton up next. Let the winning habit continue..

Not sure about Ceesay, lots of huff and puff but we need an end product. He could come good given time I suppose.

Ceesay causes loads of problems. I really rate him.

They at least double up on him so he drags players towards him which is only a good thing if we get the right pass in.

He had two decent runs first half.

Wasn't a great game for him but they were concerned by him and defended in numbers.

We were shocking when Chadwick came on. I know he is a decent striker but he was lost out wide. They walked past him.

I couldn't understand why Ceesay was desperate to get the ball but when Tony hoofed it to him he didn't make any attempt to head it. Their defender got a free header every time. Very strange. Chadwick looked to be lacking mobility to me.

We'll take the three points, we will play better and lose as we have done this season already. But after a three week layoff against a full time team we must be happy. Dogged defending and thought TT was excellent today. Thought we tired second half and agree Chadwick should have gone up top. He is a long way from match fit and sure will improve.

Well done for winning ugly, especially in the second half.

We got away with one today. Rusty is a kind word for the overall performance. On the evidence of the two games we've played with them Kiddy are as good a side as I've seen going forward - defensively there are better outfits, which is why they'll probably miss out on the play-off circus. It will be interesting to see in due course on the excellent Alty TV how our second goal went in - from 100+ yards away I can advance no worthwhile opinion but have a feeling there must have been some form of deflection involved - and just where their header hit the floor when it came down from the crossbar (from close range, but head on to events rather than side on, I had a horrible feeling it may have bounced behind the line, but the assistant seemed to be pretty much in line & clearly didn't give a goal, so I'll back his judgement!). Hannigan stood out for me in defence once again; I remain unconvinced by Paulo Wanchope (aka Ceesay - that's one for the fairly long in the tooth to mull over!); and Chadwick is on past evidence essentially a goal-poacher & striker, so playing wide right wasn't going to be an advantage for him. Interesting that Densmore came on for the final minutes - first time I can recall this management putting an extra defensive player on specifically to preserve a lead; a sign of realism for me. All the same, three very valuable points and perhaps proof if it were needed that fortune does tend to even itself out over a season.

Just on way back now.  Good first half but we were hanging on most of the second half.   Looked a bit like a team who hadn’t played in a couple of weeks second half.   A bit lucky to get all 3 points but we’ll take ‘em!
It's was there today Simon. Shame I didn't know you'd be present.

We started off very well, went off like a rocket and deserved the 2 goal lead (if not better).
Second half we hardly had possession.
Lucky to get the 3 points really, but will take that after 3 week lay off.
We'll need to get back up to sharpness in the next few weeks, obviously.

Well done lads on the 3 points!

Evened out over the two games for me. We deserved a point at their place, they deserved one today. The result is that both clubs are a point better off overall.

Very much a results business at this end of the season and as others have said it’s evened itself out over the two games. If we remain unbeaten for our next nine football matches we will be back where we belong.
