Town Produce Five Star Show
IT may sound hard to believe, but at one stage Friday's game could have gone either way.
In a game where both sides may have been cautious and guarded, in the first 20 minutes on Friday both ourselves and Caernarfon attacked at every opportunity and as the action swung from one end of the field to the other and at one point I was thinking the score could be 6-5.
The Cofi's will point to the decision of the referee not to give a penalty against Dave Hayes in the opening minutes. From where I was I couldn't be sure it was a penalty but we can point to instances already this season when penalty decisions have gone against us and maybe it was about time our luck changed.
Their sending off obviously helped us but by that point I felt we had control of the game and weathered the early storm which saw Caernarfon crash one against our bar. Maybe the score wouldn't have been five, but there's no doubt in my mind we would have beaten them even with 11 on the pitch.
It was a performance that showed how far we'd come since the Airbus game. When we went ahead in that game there was a bit of a shock about us because it was all so new to us. When we went ahead against Caernarfon, we kicked on and went looking for more goals.
That is what won us so many games last season, that ability to keep attacking and not rest on a lead. Doing so, as we've seen already can be fatal and the rise in standard as meant that we need to stay focussed for the full 90 minutes.
And so to Tuesday night. We need to keep going and go all out for another win. At this stage of the season a couple of wins can hugely improve your league position and another three points will help widen the gap between ourselves and teams near the bottom and suddenly it may not be a case of looking over our shoulders but instead chasing those in front.
