1 nil Balanta!

1-0 Balanta - get in!!!

Sounds deserved after hitting the post then missing an open goal in the opening minutes.

Bollocks!

Luque has one cleared off the line and then we go back to not knowing how to defend a cross.

1-1

Well I never, we've scored from the penalty spot!!!

Maybe it will be a good season after all :D

Good 3 points.

Our season kick started. Onwards and upwards

Great result! Never expected it, sounds like we could have scored a couple more too.

We scored a penalty!!!!!

Great win lads, now lets back it up Saturday & get on a run.

Whoops.

Good win. I wonder if we'll be better away from home this season where the likes of Brundle, Luque, Dobson and Balanta have a bit more space to weave their magic.

Happy to get on the board!

Impressive! Really good performance, few shaky moments but that's to be expected and largely we were the better team. Three must-score chances that we somehow missed too! Onto Halifax.

Taylor for king!

Well one swallow does not a summer make but in my opinion that was a hell of a team performance tonight.

Turned up fearing the worst but we should have been in the lead long before we were and up until their equaliser thought we were well in control. looked very shaky from then to half time,which came just at the right time.

Second half they put it up to us for sure but thought we stood up very well and bar the excellent save from Elliott think they could have stayed all night and not scored.

Thought Clarke and Croft were excellent throughout with Clarke getting my mom.

Also thought that we got up the pitch very quickly when the chance to arose and really should have had at least a couple more.

All round very please with what I saw tonight and my only two negatives were the goal we conceaded and the rather silly free kicks we gave away around our box. There was at least half a dozen of these, which in my opinion all bar one were all correctly called by a referee who had in my opinion a very good game.

We beat a good team tonight who will prove to be above average of that I am almost certain and not many will go there and win .

Well done lads great effort and a much deserved result.

Same could have been said after Saturday I suppose. 3 from 6 is a decent start. Let's hope Saturday was the blip rather than last night.

taylors style better away? we had some away wins absolutely out of no where last season and it will probably continue this year. its at home i like to see us play well, how many out of the 23 home games was we really happy with last season?

Looks a decent result that yesterday.

Interesting to see Jack Munns got hooked just before the hour for them. Like deja vu all over again.
