It is worth pointing out there was a tactical switch at half time from Micky which was vital to the victory. In the first half CBT was not tracking their full back, so MM swapped him and Hepburn Murphy round. Rushian was much more willing to defend and of course CBT scored the winner.

Just the latest in a series of games under MM where a tactical tweak during the match was crucial to the result (Boreham Wood at Wembley, Lincoln home and away last season, extra time v Newport, and so on).

Great team effort and totally agree with RLC that MOM was Stefan Payne, not only for his role in the winner but for his work rate in support of the defence, brilliant.

In fairness to Payne, he is still our joint top scorer and his goals to games ratio is not bad at all (four in nine I think).
