Here here Spike. I was worried when I saw that Eddie wasnt fit but JK stepped up to the plate. A different kind of player to Eddie but one which can be utlilised due to Ryan & Phil on the flanks with the non stop running of Jay & Cassie up top.

Perhaps all 3 O Brien, Kadi & Eddie will feature in the middle of the park in games to come (especially when protecting a lead/perhaps away from home on occasions) although the 4-4-2 seems to be working the magic at present. I still think Kadi is carrying a bit (aint we all) but when hes fully fit and getting box to box that will be very interesting.

In summary if 4-4-2 then Eddie all the way in the centre of midfield alongside OB but Kadi knocking on the door strongly!

Ps/ Couldnt let it go without saying another tremendous display from the skipper!!

It was, and I am absolutely delighted to be proved wrong about OB.

Its great to see him playing so well and leading by example as he stamps his authority on the centre of the park.

Great game, great goals (from both sides, although what is it about PP that makes the oppo score such crackers!  :?) great team and individual performances - particularly in the 2nd half.

Kadi gets my MOTM, but OB was superb again, as was Flanagan at the back.

Right - time for the boys to give themselves a shake-down and concentrate for the next 180 minutes, starting tomorrow.

We're certainly being spoilt at PP this year with goals coming by the bucket load.  Top level performances all around the pitch again on Saturday.  I was delighted to see the lads fight back twice after going behind.  The performances from OB are on another level to pre-Christmas and if he continues in this vein then he will be in with a shout of Player of the Year.  Guesty and Flanners were exceptional and with Jay leading the line it was entertainment all the way.  JK's first goal was an absolute peach and its was nice to see Cassie get back on track after his 2 game lean spell  :wink:

Northwood will cause some of the other top 6 clubs a few problems so all in all I'm more than delighted with Saturday's 3 points.

Who needs the premiership when you have sublime goals, disallowed goals that clearly crossed the line, the oppositions defence falling over and covering the pitch with claret from desperately trying to defend and most of all the grit and determination to come back form losing the first half with class and supported by an equally good second half performance by the choir.

It pays off more and more support is recognition of that COYD

Choir was definitely louder especially in the second half, but i believe if the roof was not so high the noise levels would be deafening.

Thoroughly enjoyable game and great character to come back twice. A bit concerned Eddie wasn't available because IMO he is our star player, must say although Junior is a completely different style of player to Eddie he played really well. The squad looks pretty strong and this i'm sure is contributing to our excellent run. Some really good performances but in particular Flanners who i thought was absolutely immense and got my vote for MOM. I feel i should also mention OB as to be honest i wasn't a fan of his earlier in the season, however since he got a bit of stick recently his performances have undoubtedly gone up a level and just at the crucial time. If he continues to put in these type of performance he will become a fans favourite and once again prove TB right. OB well done and keep it going.

Another important game at Brentwood coming up but we should be going with confidence and looking to win this and every game.

Again, another thoroughly enjoyable trip down from Merseyside, taking in the two games v Ebbsfleet and Northwood.

I always felt Northwood were a team who could cause us problems, and by taking the lead twice, they certainly went out of their way to make it difficult for us to take all three points. Having said that, even at 1-2 down at half time, I always felt we were capable of winning the game in the second half by the manner in which we got back on level terms so quickly after their opening goal.

Once again, to me it has got to be the all round team performance that won us the game. Everybody played their part. In particular, I thought Guesty was immense at the back for us, and Junior turned on the style for his goals, his passing and his contribution to the game, and he will certainly be a bonus for us when/if we make it to the Premier next season. However, my vote for mom has gone to Alex O'Brien for a number of reasons. I lost count of the number of headers he won during that match against guys taller than himself. He seemed to be playing far more forward than I had seen him previously play. I'm sure his speed has improved off the mark, and over a distance, as well. Certainly the best game I have seen him play  on my visits down to PP. And finally, it was his leadership qualities which sneaked him my vote.

I thought the crowd looked a bit light approaching kick off time. But off course, I had forgotton the huge numbers of fans who were still in the clubhouse before the game started. Actually, I think it is staggereing that we have more supporters still in the bar before a match than the majority of other clubs in our league can get to just watch them . Just another reason why we deserve to get get out of theis league, with crowds that other clubs can only dream about. And that with both Wellling and Ebbsfleet playing home games as well. Our crowd of 1118 well and truly beat the 818 Ebbsfleet had for their 3rd round FA Trophy gate. And I have to say again, if there were 1118 at our game, then the crowd at Stonehenge last Tuesday evening was well in excess of the declared gate of 1289. No wonder fans were suspicious of Ebbsfleet's figures on Tuesday night. Were they too embarrassed to admit that the Darts travelling army gave them there biggest gate of the season? There must have been a 1500-1600 crowd, surely - and I was one of them!

Come on you Darts. Let's keep this run going to the end. A great performance, strength in depth. Let's push on for that automatic spot. Brentwood here we come!
