Great response from the lads after going 1-0 down to win 6-1. The pitch was a lot drier and harder than the last time we played on it and the players struggled to adjust in the 1st half, but things came together after the break and we cruised to another big 3 points.

Roll on next week

Having come flying out of the blocks but not taking our chances, and then allowing Huntingdon to take the initiative and eventually the lead, I thought we were going to be in for a long afternoon. Even after the equaliser we still didn't get going again, but after the first few minutes of the second half we completely dominated. It was a similar game to the one at Huntingdon two weeks ago; once we moved up a gear they just couldn't cope with us. We were treated to some fantastic goals too!

8 more cup finals to go, with next week being the biggest of them!

We've certainly shown an ability to recover after going a goal down in the past couple of months, starting with the Holbeach game. I thought Brad Harris was the pick of the Diamonds players today, adding an attacking strength to his defensive skills at full back. We seemed reluctant to play the ball to feet, or to stretch the game to the flanks in the first half, but things certainly improved in the second half.

I remain concerned about the balance of our squad - with four forward players and a keeper on the bench today we might have struggled in one of our defenders picked up a knock - perhaps Gearing or Rogers are seen as stand-in full backs to allow Brad Harris to move to centre back if necessary.

I hope Jason Turner's knock isn't too bad, as he always looks sharp when he comes off the bench (as do Lorraine and Joseph).

Do you think PNS can get anything out of the Wisbech midweek game?

Peaksy said in the post match interview that Turner heard his ankle 'crack' - fingers crossed it's not as serious as it sounds.

On their day they can - but in truth I expect them to lose against a very good Wisbech side. I also expect Wisbech to get nothing next Saturday ;)

That said - PNS's away record is better than their home one - we live in hope :)
