Indeed but I loved his celebration after his goal.

The scoreline flattered them in my opinion. We had so many chances it could have been 8-0.

That said, to dominate in the way we did and still concede 2 is a bit of a worry. There are going to be some tough games in this league Are you comming across for the Ilkeston game?

Vauxhall never looked like scoring and their keeper made a few fine saves too (and a total howler for the second when he let a nothing cross from about 30 yards drift over his head and go in the top corner). To be fair Ilkeston have got a fair few hard games out of the way already (Droylesden, Telford, Corby away, Southport home). Eastwood always lose in the local derby so there are no fears there so I'd say the only really decent sides yet to play are Fleetwood and Alfreton (and again Alfreton is a local derby though the sides have rarely been in the same division). Next week away against Hinckley will be interesting as they have picked up a bit recently and they are a traditionally strong BSN outfit but there is no reason to fear anyone at the moment.

And to be fair they are dominating without the opposition looking like scoring as the keeper rarely does anything more than pluck out a few crosses now and then.

I am in a real dilema about Fleetwood awa as I've got Tamworth season tickets too and that weekend is Luton at home (I think that is a Sunday game now though), It would not take a lot to persuade the misses to go up for the weekend but she might not be so keen if we rush back to catch the Luton game too (my ideal situation).

To be fair I am watching far more of Ilkeston than Tamworth and if they are up there come April I do not think I will be able to resist a weekend in Blackpool and hoping over for what might be a top of the table encounter and probably give the Tamworth game a miss .

BTW did Corby bring anyone as they get amazingly loud home support (for the size of the gate) but not sure if many of them go away.

There were probably about a 24 seater coach full but they were great fans. Had a good chat with some of them.

Telford brought a $hit load lol and there was a bit of trouble

Surprised you could understand their Scottish accents lol.....going there is so funny as you see loads of different clubs from north of the border's shirts as most of their fans are either Scots or the offspring of Scots who came down to work in the steelworks.


Was at the RL Cup final when Ilkeston played at Telford but they do still think of themselves as a big fish so hopefully they will miss out again and get even more frustrated!!!!!

My non-league team are AFC Liverpool.

Never hear of them these days

What league they in????

Do either of you Conference North fans go on the Non-League Forum (was originally just Conf North until three quarters of us got promoted or relegated!)

Nope

Can you post a link to it please

FC won 3-1 away at Sheffield FC in the FA Cup on Saturday. Draw for the next round (whichever qualifying round it is, I can't remember ) is today at 1pm. Live on 5 Live, I believe.
