[ Sat 14th Feb ] v Peterboro Northern Star, KO 3pm UCLP HOME

Good solid win, I thought the lads had to show a great deal of quality & effort to get the points. Not everything went our way but we kept plugging away, showed a great attitude and deserved the points.

The referee was laughably atrocious - hilarious seeing him give their No6 a talking to when even the player knew it was a cast iron 2nd yellow. Fantastic effort to evade applying the laws of the game.

Thought we played okay on a difficult surface (as you have to expect this time of year), with better finishing it could have been over by half time.
Very disappointed that Holbeach lost, I think a run to the final or even semi-final would have seen them slip away in the league. Still nothing we could have done about that, so it's up to us to keep on winning.

Decent performance against a well organised opponent. Should have been more than the two, but for their keeper and some wasteful finishing, but we`d have all taken a 2-0 win at the beginning, would n`t we? Ref was laughable. On to the next cup final.

With no Elliot in the squad let's hope for a matty gearing blinder 2 0!!

Ironic as Matt Gearing had a poor game today, should Peaksy have played Lamb-Johnson? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Not surprised Holbeach lost. They have been showing signs of fatigue lately and Erith are a good team.

So now its a straight run in for the top four teams and all 4 are still in the KO Cup.

A good win today, not pretty but effective. We are at the time of season when results count more than performance. We had all the pretty stuff earlier in the season when we were winning comfortably and scoring plenty of goals.

Pressure now back on Holbeach to win in midweek and they have no league match next saturday.

Final score in the vase 3-2 to Erith & B

Holbeach had a man sent off at the end too

Sounds a pretty feisty affair, no surprise there then.
Not sure who was sent off, but following Erith twitter feed five Erith players had a yellow and six Holbeach players.

No! Give him 1 o 2 more starts he'll come good. If he doesn't we can re-sign Wizz!

[Trek]

Not sure who was sent off

It was Nolan who received a red card near the end.

[Turveyman]

Overall we were the better team and deserved to win. PNS were solid and well organised but offered nothing going forward. Berwick was guilty of some poor misses but almost redeemed himself with a terrific shot against the inside of the post. Great goal from Lorraine. Not a classic game but another three points. Crowd a little disappointing - perhaps some had better offers on Valentine's Day .

My old man was saying the same earlier, but I'm the opposite. Drury said in a recent interview that one of the main reasons he took the job was because he wanted a crack at the Vase. I wonder what it'll do to the mentality of the management and playing staff knowing that the pot of gold (Wembley) isn't at the end of the rainbow anymore. Unfortunately they've got Harrowby midweek who have really tailed off lately, that's as close to a banker as you're going to get.

I thought we played a rough pitch well today. Unlike previous weeks we created no end of chances so that made a nice change. If it wasn't for Alex Pycock it would have been a far greater marging of victory. 12 more cup finals to go.

I see our next opponents Desborough got smashed by Boston today 5-1, despite having an extra man for 85 minutes.
