Good result for you anyway, congrats.

Our midfield hasn't started the season yet. We await their return to Gresty Road soon...........Oh hang on.......
I suppose there was an element of luck in the first goal but if you chase the ball and the keeper makes a half-assed attempt at a clearance then what the hell - credit to Barnard for persevering.
Byron Moore who scored the second stepped up from the academy this season and is going really well. We expect him to go on to have a decent career at a higher level.

Byron Moore usually plays down the left wing although Ryan Lowe drifts to that position when he is knackered or looking for a pie shop. Moore and Billy Jones have been combining very well down the left this season.
Apparently we are still looking to bring in another striker as Nicky Maynard is still some way off a return.

That doesn't surprise me. To be fair to him (Barnard) in his first two games he really was a cut above the other players on the pitch. Trouble is, he is offside way too often as our other players are just too slow to put in that last pass.
I think his frustration is starting to affect his game now. In our last home game against Millwall he showed what a prima donna he can be.
