[Steve from Sale]

I would like to think I did but probrably not!!

I was directly behind Stuart when after 20 minutes he had hold of the ball. Damien was on the centre spot, around 12-15 ft from his marker. I remember thinking a good hit over Damien and his marker would struggle to catch him. Also Kiddy were defending too far forward and their back 4 was too separated.

I bugled at Stuart, 'Damien is free from his marker Stuart, hit it over him.' I suspect that Stuart had already seen him when Damien showed his hand, but my shout may have helped make up his mind. Stuart did indeed hit the ball from his hands and it was a peach of a kick. It sailed over Damien's head and he dashed onto it, beating his marker in the process. I think the right-back or other central defender got to him, but Damien took it wide to the right of the area, and hit a lovely shot with his right foot, across the keeper and into the left side of the net. It was an absolutely fabulous finish, the mark of a fine striker. I know it was a route one goal, but sod that, I'll take that any day as it won us the match, even though it was the Alamo in the second half. I was pleased for both Stuart and Damien and congratulated Stu on his astute and accurate pass. I did notice Shaun Densmore come back and give him a little applause which I thought was good captaincy.

I more than likely had nothing to do with it because Stuart probrably acted on instinct, but it all seemed to fit together after my shout, and I declared to some other fans that I had had a hand in it.

I like to think so anyway. Great performance, holding on once again to a 1-0 lead, and some 'never say die' defending. Deserved the win today and I'm very proud of them all!!!

That defender is still nowhere near him!!! Great picky that one.

[GB Alty]

With you we will go far

In all fairness it was  Stu and Damien who did all the work; if I had taken a drop-kick it would have ended up in Stand K, or knocked out the linesman. However, Stu was at ground level, I had a more elevated view and saw the Kiddy back line was out of position and not close enough to Damien either. It was the same defender who was guily of this, that was in the picture when Damien scored.

In all seriousness though, can fan shouts make a difference, has anything like this happened before! Stuart, did you hear me?

Don't underestimate your impact Steve from Sale

Thanks Sybil! In all honesty I don't want to take any credit from the players at all. I had a thoroughly enjoyable day out today and I think this current side is superb.

I am glad the team are doing well, I've always believed in them and also the management team and refuse the join in any criticism we sometimes see on the website.

I also have a loud gob, and a good set of lungs for a 57 year old. I imagine the Kiddy fans at the other end heard me as well.

Good fun day out, enjoyed myself and there is much to be optimistic about with this team. I like Lee's philosophy too - how far can we go.

How about Wembley, Lee?!!!

Hope !

Just as well the Kiddy defender didn't hear you, if he had we wouldn't have won
