In strong winds on a paddy field. I’m planning to go somewhere else as I would think the chances of us playing are slim.

The fact that it is a 10.30am inspection certainly indicates that.

We've had bursts of rain, but nothing heavily persistant. Plus it's been quite a drying wind and now it's lovely and sunny. Come on MP work your magic and get it on

Game on. Great news. Buzzing for this game, l think it will be a classic.
We'll be there, expecting a good crowd, 700 or so.
See you all soon.

What a fantastic win, excellent defending and discipline in the second half. Tom Lorraine put in one hell of a shift.

Was anyone else surprised by the serious lack of numbers King’s Lynn brought with them? Think they had about 15 fans, appalling show considering what they have to play for and weather wise the day was fine.

Well we can park the bus ok. I've never seen such a 1 sided second half.

I anticipated about 100 Lynn fans to attend. They had about dozen in Chris Ruff stand. Yes very disappointing away support.. Maybe they knew what to expect. Diamonds defended magnificently but Lynn lacked any imagination. We could still be playing and they would not have scored. Dolman at his best and has a real partner in Collard.

Thought that was a thoroughly professional performance in some pretty terrible conditions.

Second half we defended deep, but ground in, and a few times we could have pinched one on the break.
They had the while of the second half, but I thought we looked strong in defence, heath didn't really have many saves of note to make. And we're so much more assertive defending set pieces now than we were earlier on in the season.

Tom Lorraine was ridiculously good today. Took the goal well and battled up top for every minute he played. Also thought Declan put in a good shift today.

Great result, and great shift from the lads.
