Well done lads. Radio C says looked a totally different team compared with last week. Also nominated Simon Grand for their MoM.

I'm always nervous when we take an early lead, but credit to the team today, they didn't concede a goal and the one we scored was enough.

[DIXIE]

Fantastic, much needed win and big confidence booster.

[Steeley]

Great win that

Same here. Credit to them all, including the management.

To a man we were superb today, a totally different team who hastled n pestered the opposition n never gave them a second to settle on the ball. Commitment n attitude was class. Well done all. Livesey at CH was a giant for me today.

That's what happens when we have a go at teams, causing the best of teams problems resulting in penalties etc. Everyone put in a shift and Eastleigh only had about four shots, none of them troubling Dixon. If we play like that on a consistent basis with the same commitment Edmo's job will never be in doubt.

A few nervy moments at the back which was to be expected but they were solid enough and saw the game out which we can't seem to do away from home at the moment. Not much point mulling over the ins and outs of the performance (which was good), just enjoy the win.

Not sure why Phil Collier gave Haworth man of the match, would've given it Mellor who looks to be our best midfielder.

[Cokey]

Superb win! We battled hard in the second half and thoroughly deserved the three points. The management and the team deserve credit for the way they bounced back from Monday's defeat. More of the same please!

This first beer of the week is going down well after that. Cheers everyone!

Much improved performance, though a scrappy game at times. Expected much more from Eastleigh, they were poor but some of the credit for that has to go to us for getting in their faces and giving them no time on the ball. Could've had another goal on a couple of occasions if the decision making had been better and we'd moved the ball a bit quicker but a good performance against a fancied side.

Eastleigh were a horrible niggly, whinging side but anyone thats got James Constable in their line up is always going to be like that. Makes it sweeter to get the 3 points.

Grand was excellent, I've doubted him so far this season but that was his best game so far against physical opposition. For me though man of the match was Mellor who made countless crucial challenges/interceptions and also used the ball well when he had it.

Best performance by a mile since i moved back down, no particular motm for me, superb team effort, just shows that when get the ball down and play we're a decent outfit. Wee bit scrappy second half but no complaints. Great 3 points

Was very worried after Monday but that was a great reaction to the defeat at Halifax. We played like we wanted it and with confidence that's been lacking since really the Dover game. Hopefully a corner turned and we can move up the league.
