For one reason or another, my first game since Morecambe away in August and what a great day out despite the horrible conditions.... My Two pence worth.....

Fair play to Coleman he seems to have assembled a great bunch of lads, that look light years ahead of the squad that I last saw in August. As others have said, despite the 6-7 injuries & suspensions we have the cover available to come in and perform which is great to see.

Personally I was massively impressed with Etheridge in goal, who seems to command his box with brilliant authority. Fair play to him, it cant be easy sitting on the bench for 6 months but seems to have taken his chance. Was nattering with his Dad and family during the game and they look a proud bunch!

Also must mention Halliday who looks a fantastic prospect. He literally didnt miss a tackle for the 90+ minutes , what a player. Any chance we could keep him beyond the summer?!

As expected Boco and Brown looked a little off the pace, which was expected given their lack of gametime over the last few weeks and month, but fair play to them to have kept going.

As a few have mentioned, this season seems to have mirrored the playoff year with the lack of injuries and suspensions, but I just hope we can cope with the ever growing list of casualties (particularly in defence).
