For me Joe O'Neil's first goal was one of the best headed goals at Moss Lane for some time. I was stood only a few yards from him when he connected with the ball and he had to do a great deal of work to alter his position and angle the ball into the net. I don't think he's a shot-scoring striker, if you know what I mean, so maybe we need to improve the quality of our crossing and he will score more goals with his head.
I thought Thomson was magnificent again. His sheer physical presence in the penalty area frightens centre backs, or at the very least gives them something to think about and that is what we've been lacking for a few years. The likes of Bentley and Blackburn at Morecambe have found our diddy forwards a bit too lightweight and Thomson provides something a little bit different. I am sure that he will win most things in the air in future games, it just so happens that the two Rushden centre backs were as big as him and he was up against the pair of them!
God knows who GH chooses up front now. It looks like we will score in every match all of a sudden. Col and Thommo? That would be hard on Joe and Rod, not to mention Pat. Agree with posters who suggest all this competition for places is no bad thing. However, a left back has to be a total priority. Warren does his best, but we are very vulnerable down that flank, but I'm 100% sure GH is doing his best to sort this out. Roll on Woking.
