Where do I start with that? - great game of football to watch - when the 'oles' started ringing around, we were starting to play with a real swagger.
We were pretty sloppy to let them back into the game at 4-2 - but I doubt many teams in the league would have outscored us last night.
In terms of the players:
- Thompson has had a good season but, sadly, if we can identify an absolute top-class goalkeeper for this level I think that will be the difference
- Dens could teach Premier League wingers / fullbacks a thing or two about end product - very rarely wastes his final ball and he was carving them up last night.
- I agree about tying JJ down to a longer-term contract now; I've been critical of his lapses in concentration in the past but he's come on leaps and bounds.
- With Hannigan/JJ partnership looking so strong, I too see Mullarkey as a bit of a secret weapon in midfield - he's all limbs and must be a nightmare to play against.
- Moult/Hancock/Hulme all absolutely indispensible, and I think the management team know that.
- Mahon is such a different player to the one he replaced - buzzes around inside, looking to get involved in play - if we can keep him fit he'll be great for us.
- Mooney certainly looked exciting - Chester fans say he tailed off once he got 'found out' by people that had done their homework, but he's got time to work on that if that's the case.
Nobody would want to play us in the playoffs if we get there - I just pray to God we don't end up away to Brackley or Boston which is looking like a strong possibility.
