I did find the glut of substitutions made for a more nervy ending that what it should have been. We were in total control of this game so to see Preston go close to pulling one back albeit late on could have lead to a tense ending that was never on the cards. We have to spread the load on the squad I know but all those changes just checked our dominance and invited a bit of unwanted pressure.
Still, really chuffed, and we’re 1 point of the play offs with 63 points to play for. I expect the advance up the table to potentially slow a little simply based on the fact that the more successful teams in the top half will win more games when playing teams in the bottom half but we’re right in amongst it all which seemed a million miles away at one point.
