Tremendous unexpected victory today, a much changed side against the second best team in the comp, Okunbur. sounded a handful and our pack got on top of theirs today. Hopefully we made the frown on Astons face worse, always critical of Odsal when they play here, you would think the Eagles played at the Bernabeu.

Really impressed that we bounced back from the Wakey game with that performance. Had to work really hard in spells as Sheffield came out the blocks firing.
Okunbor looked impressive, would be happy to hold onto him longer if he players with that effort and aggression. With Blackmore and Tafua missing we needed his yardage to get us out of our own half.
Fulton was immense again, what a signing he has been, however wearing a protective boot at the end was worrying - just hope he isn't out for long.
Really pleasing two points and a good afternoon of entertainment.
Great effort today from 1-17 I thought we showed a real toughness in defence and really didn't take any crap off them. I don't know how Davies was still on his feet at the end, what a player.

My only concern was the crowd. Was it 2300? Something like that? Was a good quality game, and was anticipated as being good quality. Also good weather.
Was unable to go to the game as my son had a late kick off over at Lock Lane on Sunday, but sounded to be a good performance despite the lack of fit bodies. Also good to get another one through the academy product line too.
This part of the season is always interesting as players line up their next moves and we historically have always had issues with (dare I say...) "commitment" levels from those rumoured to be moving on. Glad to see its not kicked in fully to date, but there are a few whispers swirling about players moving on next year, so time will tell if they turn up .
Would be great if we could get a few of the loan signings on permanent deals as they certainly look to add quality. I know FC fans have slated Okunbor but he looks a unit in the back line and sounds to have had a decent game. Tindall has always looked good when playing on loan and I think he just needs a settled run in a side to show his best form.
Don't think i'm biased...
...i'm just very narrow minded!!!!!!!
