I've pointed out negatives in some of the recent performances but this time I'm full of praise. In a match between two sides containing both quality and battlers, and with the elements having their say, we needed to be strong and brave as well as good on the ball. And we were.
At the end of a season, it's matches like this you sometimes look back on and say that is where the season was won/lost. It feels like a real endorsement of the work being done.
The resolute solidity at the back is something we haven't seen at AFCB for... actually, I can't remember when we saw it last. Pre-Howe for sure.
Beaten one of the favouries for promotion? Check
Come from behind? Check
Still unbeaten? Check
Top of the table? Check
Well played the team. Because that's what that was. A team win. Well done to the management as well.
Honourable mention to Billing for one of the most satisfying sliding tackles/blocks I've seen in a long time.
Positives: Pearson (immense), Christie (creative and battling) and Cahill (so organised, we should call him the filofax)
Room to improve: I don't want to single anyone out from a great team performance.
