Got to be honest, after that, I think Bridge's value just dropped. Hope Jodi Jones remembers to let him out his pocket! A number 10 kept him at bay, a player who has barely played football in several years

On the evidence of tonight's performance it is very difficult to see what he would bring to our team.

I was a bit surprised by how ordinary Bridge was… completely ineffective.

On to the game and result and it's clear to see that this team are amazing and all the ingredients are there for this to go down as a special season if we can go on and finish the job and get promoted. The challenge is as tough as it's been and will continue to be from now until the end but we have to keep going and going hard taking each game one at a time. Seven wins in a row and it's starting to have all the signs of the Cotteril run that we had in 09/10 at the business end of the season.

Our goal difference is moving ahead of Wrexham and that's a positive as that really could be a worth an extra point. So while we have scored four goals in the past three games it is still only +5 over Wrexham and this shows how stiff the competition is. We just have to hope that if we drop points they do, and if they drop points we don't.

I can't think of a season like it and I doubt we will ever see a season like it again. One automatic promotion place, two teams relentless going at it. 1 defeat in 34 games, 25 games unbeaten.

Let's hope the psychology of Wrexham being 2nd no matter what they do remains as long as possible especially while they still have games in hand. Wexham's first game in hand to be played is next Tuesday at home to Chesterfield. So we need to win on Saturday and maintain at least a five point cushion.
