For the first 5 or 10 minutes of the second half I thought it was going to be a repeat of last year's home game against Macclesfield where we completely ran out of ideas and never looked liked scoring. However, we upped the urgency and tried to do a few different things; although most of them didn't come off and we barely tested the keeper the ball finally fell to us in the box and we got the goal we just about deserved. I thought all of the defence played well, especially Deano, and if you keep a clean sheet you've always got a chance of sneaking a winner. Conversely, I don't think any of the midfielders or attackers will be happy with their performance and for most of the match looked like they'd never met each other before. Randell was the stand-out but for all his eye-catching dribbling and possession in dangerous areas he didn't actually create very much. However, I don't want to be too critical as we shpwed good spirit to grind out the win when it would have been easy to get frustrated. Plenty of positives to build-on going forward and I'm still reasonably confident we will have a good season.
