We didn't quite beat the bookies' handicap but the winning margin was tidy enough. Newcastle weren't a bad side and showed why they beat Oldham in the last round. They've got Workington at home next weekend. It'll be interesting to see how that one works out.
Thoroughly enjoyed the game. It was played with passion throughout. I hope the good crowd (756) enjoyed it and will come back for more in 3 weeks time.
I hope we can all see the Jack Sanderson try again with the great break from Miloudi from his own in-goal area to the half way line. Maybe we don't want Lee Radford to see it though. We don't want him to see what he's missing. Perhaps we ought to let him see the clip where Hakim raced off the line to tackle someone and missed him!
Seriously, it's skills like that that excite fans. I love watching Hakim play.
Brad England was great again as he has been all season. I thought we looked good defensively for most of the game. The attack was a bit jittery in places. Considering the number of penalties that were given against us, it could have been much closer than it was.
I hope nothing else comes of the incident that went on report or the fact that there was some unwanted scenes after the final whistle.
