Fairly pleasing start today, there's no better finisher in this league than Peter Thorne and if he stays fit and gets some service we'll go well.

I was very pleased with the way that we went up the pitch and got the second while Notts were having their best spell of the game, though at 2-0 we did go to sleep a little but, apart from Paul Arnison, we were pretty much in control at the back.

I'll be happier when Brandon and Colbeck come back as I do think Nix on the left is a weakness, and Daley just isn't a 90 minute man.

Bring on the dog-botherers on Tuesday, it will be interesting to pit ourselves against one of the fancied teams from a league above.

Think Grant Holt or Richard Walker might have something to say about that.

They could say what they want, he's in a different class to either of them.

Tenner says Holt scores more than Thorne this year?

You're on.

Even though I know I'll probably lose as Thorne will no doubt pick up an injury or three along the way

That could be the easiest tenner Asim will ever make. He looked deadly today, as he did at the back end of last season.

That second goal was different class, and it was right infront of me! Loved it!

Echo the thoughts about Arnison, Moncur looked slightly more comfortable when he came on and I'd give him a go against Hudders, although their winger was quality (Weston). We looked in control throughout I thought, Evans did very well. It's nice to see a keeper instill confidence in his back 4 by collecting the ball and coming out to claim it.

My MOTM however, McLaren. Everything went through him today, he totally runs the show. An invaluable asset for this, and any League One/League Two side.

While he showed some obvious signs of class, I think McLaren was a little off the pace at times, might need to pick it up and not expect quite so much time on the ball.

Arnison got done quite a few times and I was glad to see Moncur come on, I was in Midland Rd and Moncur is a real shouter, encourages the rest of the team.

Really pleasing to see Omar do so well, he really attacked them. While you'll always get the odd brain explosion from him, when he runs at people like that he really scares them.
