York 3 up away to Spennymoor. They are flying but does anyone know if Spennymoor's money has dried up? they've had a poor start.

5 minutes added time. Hearing Kidderminster had an open goal a couple of yards out and it was somehow sliced wide

Brilliant win! We're averaging two points a game now. Last season, that was enough to win the league.

What a fantastic marker to lay down. Great result.
Feels like Monday is a big, big game now. Bern mentioned it's probably the biggest game we've had for a while in terms of league position, decent away crowd expected etc. It's the opportunity to bring back those lapsed supporters and floating fans and show them what we're all about.

Definitely our best away performance in quite some time. Given our poor record at Aggborough and Kidderminster’s hit and miss start it was never going to be straightforward for us today, but we delivered once again to come home with a fabulous victory. We should have won by a few more as we missed a few chances from close range, and we received a huge let-off as Ed Chambers missed an open goal, but there’s nothing anyone can do about it now. Kidderminster weren’t a bad side as they had some good spells in the second half, but we defended resolutely to stave off any threat. What has impressed me most overall is that defensively we have been very stubborn, and at the same time we score goals at the other end which are key attributes for a promotion-chasing team. Today’s result preserves our unbeaten start, and we are STILL yet to concede an opposing goal from open play.
We were by far the better side in the first period as we started off on the front foot and had lots of possession. Whenever Kiddy had the ball we pressed them which caused them to panic, and that is what has been one of our strong points so far this season. Our opponents had the opening chance of the game as a speculative Milan Butterfield shot went over. Just after that Anthony Dudley should have put us ahead as his attempt from a few yards out somehow went wide. At the other end Russ Griffiths produced an excellent one-on-one save to deny Ed Williams who was almost through on goal. Kiddy went close once again as a long range attempt from Sam Austin was caught by Griffiths, whilst a Gary Roberts free kick brought Cameron Gregory into action. Just moments later we went very close once again as a Kevin Roberts cross was unable to find anybody, hence it went across the face of goal. Our dominance paid off as Matty Hughes finished off a brilliant move to make it 1-0 as he slotted home into the far corner. For the final 10 minutes of the half Kiddy started to come into this contest, but in both defence and midfield we battled well to stave off any threat. We headed into the interval on the back of an excellent showing which reaped its rewards.
The second half was a bit more even as Kidderminster had more of the ball than they did beforehand, but once again we worked well as a unit to preserve our clean sheet. Ed Williams forced Russ Griffiths to pull off a low save with the opening attack of the half. At the other end Matty Hughes wasn’t too far off from getting his brace as he performed a looping backwards header which went onto the roof of the net. Our opponents still tried to go at us as Griffiths made a strong stop to deny Correy Davidson. Meanwhile, we had two chances to put the game to bed as firstly Brad Jackson fired wide, before an Anthony Dudley effort found the side netting. The latter had another opportunity before the end as he was unable to dispatch past Gregory. We received a huge let-off with minutes to go as a Russ Griffiths clearance ricocheted off Williams, who somehow missed an open goal from a couple of yards out. That bit of luck eventually paid off as we held on to secure our first away win of the campaign.
Just like last weekend, my man of the match for today goes to Matty Hughes who bagged his first goal since returning. Due to him now being fully fit, his energy gave us a big boost as he pressed Kidderminster’s backline really well to cause them problems. He was the focal point in a lot of our attacks as he found lots of space, and of course he finished superbly to score the match-winner. George Waring was effective as usual as he won a lot of headers and held the ball up well once again. At the back Russ Griffiths had another strong display as he made some good saves which resulted in him earning his second consecutive clean sheet. His time-wasting tactic worked well too 😛. At the back both Danny Livesey and Simon Grand had strong games as they won plenty of headers, and restricted Kidderminster from taking chances. Kevin Roberts was brilliant too as he stopped the crosses from going in, and going forward he was quick and made some good deliveries too. In midfield Gary Stopforth covered plenty of ground by breaking up the play, and so did Gary Roberts who crafted some really nice balls and was combative in the middle. Lastly, Brad Jackson was superb once again as Kidderminster couldn’t keep up with him at times, and he was very good on the right.
We certainly are making a promising start to the new season, and considering we are still undefeated in a very tough month bodes well. Hereford FC come to town on Monday which should make for a huge game as both sides have got off to positive starts. We have got to be getting at least 2,500 for this one as Hereford will take around 700, and today’s result should encourage more of our supporters to come. Our atmosphere was fantastic in the away end today, and if we are to be challenging for the top 3 then we need to have a strong backing every week.

Everyone of them put a shift in today the pressing down was superb
Anyone noticed with Burton & Mahon benched we seem to play better ( i am a Mahon fan ) but with him on the bench the team play so much better

Big game this. A decent result will put 500 on Monday's gate. It's a good test of whether we have improved from last season, when we tended to follow a good result with a stinker. Bad memories of the 4-1 at Kiddy. We've ground out two away draws, without really impressing so far. This is the sort of game we need to be nicking 1-0 if we are serious contenders. 500 haha. Wake up. Got the first bit right. Now let's see.

Fine margins.
Totally deserved the win, easily the better side but if they'd capitalised on that calamity in the last few minutes (which they really should have done) it would have been sickening. I think it was Griffiths at fault, calling for a ball he shouldn't have. Amazing miss.
Hughes was excellent again, keeping him fit is critical this season.
