regarding injury, tried playing last week after 3 weeks rest and groin had me limping the following day again. Going to see a physio and see what they think- probably just needs more rest ..
best of luck tonight (and happy 23rd birthday des?)0 -

yeh great performance lads, they're an excellent team with quality players throughout and we beat them fair and square, and yeh the free for their goal was dodgy enough.
Great leadership from Ed at the back and picking his spot while standing on the halfway line is easily the best strike for us I've seen (beating my 35 yarder in off the stanchion in Colmcilles of course!). Really was an outstanding team performance and we showed we wanted it and had learned from our mistakes.
Great battling from Cathal particularly to drive on the defence in the last 10. Simon handled an excellent winger very well at right full, with Lepo settling into left full in the second and playing some good probing balls forward.
Dan and Martin did a great job in the middle in the first half, gav and Art both offerring a great threat on the left and Dave did his covering while continuing that knack for being in the right place at the right time and finishing well.
Sav put in some great work to win forward balls and hold off the defender bringing the midfield into it and fully deserved a well taken goal. Fran also had some good run and linked well with Sav and Gav for the 3rd goal.
All round good performance with plenty of fight....nice birthday present for Des! Can't believe we forgot to give him the bumps

Solid performance all round but nothing we didn't know we were capable of. Dave had a very good game, made one goal thru sheer persistence and determination and fully deserved his goal when it came. 'Wolfman' Dan won some tackles he had no right to win, especially in the 2nd half and it caused them all sorts of problems, disrupting their flow. Cathal and Ed LeTissier good games at the back too.
Every time we went forward we look like scoring and we defended well while not panicking either. We weren't giving the game up, that's for sure, and we were unlucky not to win by a bigger margin.
I think the scars of last week made us far more resilient, I suppose you could say that fiasco was a serious wake up call.
They might have been shocked at the result, but I certainly wasn't. The real question now is what do we want from this season. Obviously Fred West Ham and Dunbar will fight it out for top spot, we've only ourselves to blame for silly defeats that we're not up there.
Fred West Ham still have to play Dunbar twice, so they'll both take points off each other, in which case we're realistically chasing 3rd or 4th place, or very optimistically, 2nd if a million variables go our way.
The main thing is that we have to show that resilience (keyword) every week, that result goes to show we have nobody to fear but ourselves. Someone mentioned 'self belief' last week, well it was there tonight. In football you always get your just reward, you don't fluke a 4-2 win against the top team in the group who have yet to lose. It could easily have been 6-2, we had the clear cut chances whereas they were restricted to half chances and hoping for the lucky bounce.
We just played the runaway league leaders off the park, but it counts for nothing if we get cocky and **** it all up next week.
Sorry to spoil the party and good vibes, but it's only one game and instead of getting carried away we should be getting into the mindset that this was simply "job done".

Yeh, resilience is the right word alright, good to see it, and once we keep remembering how poxy last week felt it should drive us to avoid repeating it in future games.
Our target is to win every remaining game and see where that leaves us, last night just proved that we were right before when we said there is no team in this league we can't beat on our day.
I don't like comments about an easy game coming up next week though - does nobody remember when we thought that against a team at start of last season just cos they had no proper jerseys and they stuffed us 7-2? Or the time we started out against 9 men thinking we were gonna hit double figures and messed it up? I still remember those games and the terrible feeling afterwards, just like I'll still remember our 4-3 loss when we go 2 up deep into next season. In the same way, if we go through a bad run, I won't forget what we achieved last night - it's all about learning from your experiences not just for a few weeks, but for all games.......we don't want to be the Bolton of this league and raise our game against the big teams and drop points against weak teams..... I just don't think Des could handle the inevitable Sam Allardyce slags 0 -
