He has gradually improved the team despite a fair few injuries, Cundy has been a great signing and now Cameron can see what he's doing they are forming a good partnership. Whitfield has been terrific and Buse and Vincent have been full of energy and slick passing and exceeded my expectations. With Janneh back the goals should keep coming, I said at the start of the season that Reid couldn't be expected to get 30 goals again but expected him to get 20 plus . At this rate he is going to get close again. Just hope he and the club reject all offers in January , getting back in the League is far more important.

On paper at least, we have the “easiest” of games compared to the four teams above us. While we are home to Sutton (23rd), current leaders Bromley are at home to in form Harrogate (6th) and both FC Halifax (3rd) and Barrow (4th) have tough looking away games at Woking (8th) and Notts County (7th) respectively. If results do go our way we could be top of the table by the time Yeovil take to the field at 5.20 in the BT Sport game - and even they have a tough one at home to Dover (12th) who boast the best away record in the League with 6 wins and 1 draw in their 9 away games. Getting ahead of myself, I know but it COULD happen

Our interplay going forward was exceptional for long periods, at times reminscent of the incisivie possession during Leroy's stellar season.

Speaking to locals after the game, it seems they were missing their captain and defensive linchpin Brown. However, I'd be amazed if he would've been able to hold his team together against our frontline. Reid was simply brilliant. Two years ago, he fired our equaliser at Halifax, but cut a confused and maligned figure. Now, he guarantees goals. More than that, he occupied their defenders, held the ball and supplied the right ball at the right moment (for his second and Kalala's goal). His partnership with Janneh - great to have him back, but how did he not make it 3 in the first half?! - could be devastating before the new year.

It felt like a real collective effort today, and Johnson and the team include the fans in that with the celebrations. Of course it'd be good to avoid conceding goals, and we do seem susceptible to direct wing play and scrambles in our box. In reality, though, a team above us in the table mustered a 10min spell straight after a half time rollicking and a consolation when the game was safe. Job done. Great to be part of the Yellow Army - [highlight=yellow]viva the Yorkshire Gulls![/highlight]

Photographs of the ground from a distance, or from the air, make the ground look impressive, but on closer viewing, via the highlights, I could see quite clearly that these empty stands were decrepit. I wondered whether or not they were out-of-bounds, as it were, perhaps due to safety reasons. This is only a speculation, and perhaps someone could correct me if I am wrong.
