Great result last night. We edged past King's Lynn, who I described as the worst side I've seen at this level, so to see us put a similarly poor side to the sword shows our growing confidence in recent weeks. It's no surprise to see us improve with a settled XI over a sustained run of games. Credit to Parky and Sorvs, I've been critical of how many players have come and go but I think we're starting to come out the other side of that transition now, and the reap our rewards for some good recruitment.
The goalscorers will rightly get all the credit in a 5-0 win but I think we've got an absolute gem there in Isaac Marriott. I saw something in his debut against Wrexham before his unfortunate injury, and since returning he's become one of the first names on the team sheet for me. Constantly there, puts himself about, can get around the pitch quickly and rarely loses the ball. Exactly what we needed in the middle of the park.
The gap between the top and bottom sides in this league is extraordinary. Some of the time and space they were giving Colclough was absurd, he was actually laughing when receiving the ball at one point last night. In comparison, we've seen how the top sides have pressed us into oblivion and we've just been unable to cope. This season has shown we aren't quite ready to be competing consistently with those types, but I'd say we are far superior to the sh*t in this league, and it's shown in the majority of encounters throughout the season.
Surely we are now safe and our target is to eclipse last season's total. Happy days.
