A deserved 3 points and some good individual performances. With a bit more luck we could have had another couple but, as usual, we let teams come at us late on and end up hanging on. Gore and McWilliams did well in midfield and credit to Hugill for leading the line after Etete's early exit.

The last 20 minutes were tense and this was compounded by Dawson clearing the ball long and seeing it come straight back on every occasion. We have to be more canny in our game management.

Finally, if you could have designed a player who fulfilled what we need to anchor the team, you'd have made Tom Holmes. Sensational debut and a great find - well done MH!
