It was a case of the script being written before a ball was kicked as the manager decided a game at home against a team well below us who haven't beaten us in years somehow equated to a right hand side comprising a useless Woodgate and a struggling Shotton.

Taking points away from home is starting to become a welcome habit for us of late, could it be that the manager has finally found a way of playing that will put a smile on the faces of our travelling contingent or is it just a case of fine margins?

Apologies to my regular readers for the radio silence, a mixture of family commitments and illness put a stop to any updates over the festive period but I’m back now and looking forward to an exciting second half of the season.
