I think Stourbridge were a better passing side, less kicking the ball in a general direction, which gives the opposition more time to react and deal with it. I've seen us play as a passing side and we look much better for it and more dangerous. Is it because we're a bit nervous against top sides and it's less risky to try to kill the ball and move on, obviously costs overall though. The goal came from a passing move, absolutely brilliant goal. Passing seemed to improve through the game and can't fault the commitment from the team. Overall a fair result and I'm delighted with the season, push on for next year!

3 points for a win was introduced in 1981. If we still had the former system we would be 7th in the league. As we are currently 8th it would not seem to be all that different.
