First things first, superb performance. Could easily have seen heads drop when pulled back twice, but got the exact opposite from everyone in white (and whatever Macron call the colour Platty wears).
Whatever Blyth are paying Lee Clark, they're being robbed blind. Sat behind him for all but 5 minutes and all he did was call his players rubbish and try and break his foot kicking the dugout. Made three subs and they got even worse. It was like having Frank Sinclair back in front of me.
That number 10, who is apparently being watched by a number of clubs and boy can you see why, is keeping him in a job.
THought we were tremendous today. Everyone had a fine game, but once again Tom Elliot stood out with his vision, awareness and hard work stood out.When somebody wanted to make a pass he was always available. His display was epitomised by the chasing of a lost cause to win a corner from which we scored our second goal.
Once again the back four were excellent . I know we conceded two goals, but other than that Blyth were kept at arm’s length.
Clark made some decisions today. The substitutions smacked of desperation and backfired. His defence seemed clueless at defending set pieces and switched between zonal marking man to man marking.
I’m pleasantly surprised at the progress that we have quickly made and we seem to going from strength to strength with the recent arrival of two players proven at this level. No doubt some will leave, but the club is now on an upwards curve so well done to all. Let’s hope we can see gates start to increase as the football warrants it.
I don’t want Stourbridge in the next round, but other than that I’ll take anyone at home.
Great win today against the 12 men of Blyth. Ref was awful and did everything possible to favour a dirty Blyth team. Fully deserved the win, the two goals conceded were from defensive errors but that matters little when we see the effort that everyone put in. The good times are back at keys park and long may they continue.

Thanks Gaz, kids' hobbies get in the way of Monday matches for me unfortunately. Another time maybe
We’re on our way, we’re on our way, to the EFL, we’re on our way (26/01/24)
Their 'keeper had obviously been watching plenty of Peter Schmeichel footage. Unfortunately for him the only thing he picked up from it was blaming everyone else.
For Kieran's second, video from behind the goal shows that he actually shouts "Keepers!" before standing still and watching as it's headed in.
