Yes a very welcome three points today. Geoghaghon has a groin injury and played more games carrying this injury than we were led to believe so let's not be too critical of him. No Fergus Bell in the squad? As he was a non contract player, does this mean he has left Plainmoor? I'm sorry if he has because I saw him as a much better option than Heslop.

I still do. think he's carrying an injury so he was left out he was tapped up all down his leg last week when he came on and was limping.

Cheers Arcadia. Dave Thomas said in one of his away commentaries that Bell suffered a serious knee injury last season (not sure who he was playing for) so let's hope it's nothing to do with that injury.

A good win no doubt about it. Clearly the key was keeping a clean sheet.

Just back from a long weekend up north so catching up with the comments. Ruddy good first 25 mins from the Gulls with all the pressure on the Southport goal. Courtney was a great controller in the middle of the field and an excellent goal from Fish after a great cross. We also had two one-on-ones with the goalie which should have produced more but really good to see the ball being moved on the ground. Initially no thrust from them but they clawed their way back as the first half came to a close. however the second half was a different kettle of fish and they were much quicker to the ball so put us under pressure. Some fairly fierce tackling on both parts but the ref seemed to ignore their No 9 backing in and elbowing Angus as well as pushing by several of their guys but have to say we gave as good as we got if not more so no real surprise on the bookings. But that did show the lads were up for a challenge. Pretty fretful final 15 mins as they looked for an equaliser. Courtney Cameron's free kick hit our far post but they couldn't follow up and then Marsh hit the woodwork just before the end. A well deserved result and although Southport were pretty poor, I've seen worse opposition this season so this wasn't an easy match but in the end didn't really cause us a problem.
Team spirit looks good and great to see Courtney firing in the middle of the pitch - sadly Hurst didn't contribute much which is unusual as he has been on cracking form of late. So, hopefully a good base to build on for tonight's match and the confidence and teamwork are growing.
