I barely noticed that Sam Brown was missing and ably replaced by Ben Ford (who was superd), Ben Farrell in midfield covered so much ground and Kyal and Brad made sure that they covered every blade of grass that their clearly injured fellow defender could not!! It's just a a shame that we couldn't get that last touch on the ball to turn into the Belper net that would of sealed a good performance on a really difficult pitch that would of tested the best players!!
I wholeheartedly agree, kyal, brad and ben ford were outstanding especially considering the issue with bully, ben Farrell and bunts were good in the midfield and controlled the game even a man down and it was only a mixture of bad luck and bad finishing that meant we didn't win.

Yes it was a tremendous effort all round - Ford and Farrel in particular were superb and McNulty, Brad, Dolman, Lorraine and Bunts gave it everything in difficult circumstances. Looking good for another play-off appearance which will once again exceed pre-season expectations.

Fantastic effort from the lads, despite being down to 10 men for the majority of the match, and also with Liam struggling.

On another day we probably would have got the three points. But luck just wasn't on our side, as we created the better chances than Belper, but couldn't put them away.
