An outstanding performance. We kept a really good team quiet and exposed them defensively. We ticked a lot of boxes last night. Rodney and Mani D back on the scoresheet. Mani got more game time under his belt. Great impact from all our subs, which again helps to manage minutes.

I loved the way we responded after the penalty with inciteful moves for both Hendo's goal and disallowed goal. What could have been a nervy period in the game ended with the fourth goal.

I thought Abdulmalik was contained really well.

This might have been buried by the match report and interviews from last night but the club have uploaded the minutes for the recent CAB Meeting.

Again, an interesting read, especially about the training ground.

Thanks to Judd for giving the club a prod.

Excellent first half. The defensive shape and work rate have been outstanding. Let's keep pushing the second half.

Rew is some talent. His older brother is not too bad either. Some good talent in the U19s with Mayes, Ahmed and the battery of fast bowlers highly thought of.

Any chance you could give the club a prod to remind them to publish the minutes of the CAB meeting. They are usually an interesting read.

A statement win. Whilst we did not create lots of chances we played with endeavour and recovered well after their goal. We had the desire and composure to keep playing and in the end we took our chance.

I thought we nullified them and outside of a few long throws they did not really threaten. Moss did help to keep Scott Morris quiet, as did Burger who worked tirelessly until he ran out of steam who helped to support him defensively down our left.

I suspect over the next few games there will be different teams, with players playing different roles. Moss and Burger in from the cold tonight, who will it be on Tuesday. A special mention to Gilmour whose technical game has improved no end. When we did play through the press it was noticeable the space him and East had to run with the ball.

A week now to get ready for three vital games. Three wins could see a gap open up and put the pressure firmly back onto York.

Poor goal to give away. Great goal by Gordon. Mani D will give us a focal point when he comes on. Will Jim be brave enough to bring on Taz for Moss?

Been impressed with Burger. Very busy and looked for the ball in space.

Every time we up the tempo we are cutting them apart. Missed penalty, hit the post and bar. Could be five up. Only issue is Smith going off injured.

The number 10 position is probably our weakest area in the team. Lots of options but nobody seems to nail down the second position alongside Rodney. I thought Barlow would have pushed on after his strong finish to last season. I'm not sure its a role that suits East. Him and Gilmour have a good partnership so why break it up to solve a problem elsewhere?

We tend to make a lot of change quite early especially in fatigue positions such as wing back and wide forward. How many times have the likes of Rodney played a full 90 minutes? We have hardly played recently and have a Saturday off next week.

Play your better players and then if we have a comfortable position they can be taken off. We have plenty of players to manage minutes without having to resort to a Brackley away. Every point could be crucial.

I'm really looking forward to the game today. Hopefully we can put on a show.

Neither Berkoe or Galvin have offered much offensively. I suppose a wing back who is equally adept both attacking and defending is not likely to be available. As the Hartlepool game illustrated we need another more physical presence to provide a different option up top.

As an England supporter you would be pretty annoyed to fly out and see no play due to the pitch being a lottery. Tongue had a good test and Bethell played a good innings to guide the chase almost home. Pope's second innings average would suggest he would not have been able to do the same.

The thing with Burger is that he did not feature much earlier in the season but from his interviews you can tell he has not sulked, he has knuckled down and taken his opportunities when they have come. He may not be a regular starter but we will need everyone to contribute.

Do what Barnet did last season - take care of business when you do not play well.

Pope had to go for his own good. Potts should have played instead of Jacks and Bethell and Root could have filled in the Jacks overs. Four specialist seamers and Stokes would have bowled most of the overs.

No suprise Archer has broken down. Three matches on the bounce with no real warm up was always a recipe for disaster. It sounds like he will be okay for the T20 world cup.

It is all a sorry mess.

No Mani D or Barlow. Waller in to replace Beckwith.

They were generational talents. In my time only Gough and Caddick come close but not for the length of time Anderson and Broad. We were blessed and are now seeing the void they leave.
