Derek Niven superb on saturday
As the Saltergate unbeaten record continues eleven matches long not bad for a side which can't win away and we sit pretty in seventh place.
So to Blackpool they came they saw they timewasted and got punished by their own timewasting. I'm fairly sure that If we were away from home we would of done the same but it's always good to win but by gum we left it late!
It was great to see Caleb Folan come on and score especially when those chosen few in the Kop were booing the substitution of N'toya for him, why were they booing because they all think that they are managers that's why and it wouldn't surprise me to see Mcfarland stick two fingers up one day! I'm ashamed sometimes as I stand in the Kop and when that happens it reflects on me and most of the sensible people who stand there.
For me Derek Niven was superb he matched Blackpools's wellens who is quite clearly their best player and left Clingan to strut his stuff around in the midfield.
Blackpool are quite clearly better than their position suggests and It wouldn't surprise me to see them survive a bit like us last season however I'm sure they won't leave it till the last day.

A final word on the crowd just under 5000 there we need more people so a small plea the next home match is Swindon Town (cup replays apart) on November 27th so bring a mate to Saltergate it's good stuff at the mo.
