We will play twice as good and lose.....not a spectacle and as the Cult said to me....scored with our only shot on target
100% efficiency rate!
Not a memorable game (and I have to say that a draw would have been the fairest outcome) but, nonetheless, I am delighted that we have finally beaten those Essex shysters.
Plus a rare sighting of a clean sheet, too.
Marriott and Lundstram were both excellent (and a tip of the hat to Baines as well) and I fear that our next major challenge is going to comprise retaining both of them.
I always find Non League Day to be a curiously unsettling experience. The attendance invariably increases and yet the atmosphere itself seems to deflate.
As a long-standing grudge-bearer, Rochdale's defeat was the perfect accompaniment to our victory.
