Another good win against a battling Matlock side who ironically were easier on the eye than Darlington 1883 but not as strong defensively.
Lovely goal from Lait after an assist from Richards and it was assist number two soon afterwards after a superb foray forward by Green who was superb throughout. I hope his slight twinge was nothing too serious.
Dodd somehow tricked his way past two to win a penalty which he then converted before another great move saw Broadhurst finish from a rare Dodd assist!
We did switch off at times, including allowing them a goal back which was deserved on the balance of play.
All the back four were solid, with Green the standout, and Geddes had a good game in the middle. Broadhurst was solid and dependable as per usual, and Dodd and Lait both played well.
Hawley had a fairly frustrating night but when four others score it doesn't matter too much. It's almost great to see him so pissed to be substituted - no lack of desire there!
The standout performance if not Green was Justin Richards; who showed what he can do when he is motivated to - constant running, flick-ons, chasing down defenders, and two assists as well.
Hard to find much fault in 7 out of 7 - we have got ourselves into a great position now. Not so long ago I thought the top 3 (Darlo, Salford, Blyth) were pretty much sewn up in some sort of order but since then ourselves, Barwell and Workington have been in great form. Ashton won't go away just yet and we still have to play them twice.
We have got ourselves into a great position - it's up to us to see it through in these final 13 games and see where we finish up.
Well done to the lads for another solid home win. Onwards to Saturday.
