An excellent performance from Rovers and a deserved victory. It took us a while to get our football going, but I sensed a difference in the attitude and organisation from the first minute tonight.
In the first half an hour Harrogate had a lot of pressure and forced a few corners, but I never felt we were going to concede. We pressed much better as a team than we have all season and protected Davies' goal relly well. Even in the early stages I thought we actually looked the more dangerous side, when Feeney and CBT broke away, and Vaughan obviously should have put us ahead before half time.
In the second half they could not live with us. We gradually grew in confidence and some of our football was excellent. Players that have really suffered in recent weeks - Morris, O'Connor - came out of their shells and it was wave after wave of Rovers attacks really.
Individually, there were some great displays. Spearing had his best game of the season and Lewis had a really good game running from box to box; O'Connor was excellent defensivley and going forward; Clarke was a rock at the back; Vaughan worked as hard as ever.
Credit must go to Dawes as well for the imaginative tactics, with CBT virtually in a free role, and for getting that performance from the players.
We have got a really good squad and any decent manager will have us challenging for promotion.
