This week we probably had our biggest test so far with Bury Rovers. A very different opposition to previous weeks and the first time an opposing team has matched us player for player in strength and aerial ability. It was not a great game to watch...or play in from what people said after the game, passing was restricted and the game became more about long balls and pushing each other.
Despite falling behind twice in the first half we pulled ourselves level at key points, ensuring we did not go 2 goals down allowing Bury to go overly defensive. Second half was a tough battle again but we managed to find the winner from a great lob from Phil...who was unlucky not to grab his hat trick towards the end with what would have easily been goal of the season!
Whilst the football wasn't pretty and players did not have their best games we seem to be in a winning mentality at the moment and that is never a bad thing. Picking up 3 points from a tough game like this weekend without playing your best is the sign of a strong squad, and that is what we are this year so instead of worrying over things that didn't work lets focus on keeping this undefeated streak going and go into every game knowing we are good enough to take all the points.
Good result to top off a great start to the season, well done all.
