It could have made a huge difference to the game. On another night it goes in and we're away and flying. Until they scored the first goal it was pretty even.

But I hope that's about to change with Duane's help. His arrival is the lift we require and I'm sure we shall witness other players in the squad raise their games.

We've had a glut of injuries so it's great news that Reeves and Whittaker are back fit.

I'm sure Kevin will have an eye on next year. He's brought in two or three players already and they'll come to Manor Park aiming to cause an upset so we must perform to our maximum.

They were already expected to beat us, but I think their result at Arsenal makes it even more likely.

We have an abundance of strikers and until I know the situation with Duane I will keep my cards close to my chest.

I'm not rushing into anything before knowing the full picture.

Those two goals made it outstanding for us. I was a bit concerned when we were five down but my players didn't drop their heads. We brought nearly 5,000 fans, they made it a carnival and hopefully we've earned around £200,000. It was a great night.

After losing just twice in 21 league games in the first half of the season, if we repeat that run of success in the second we shall win Nationwide North and promotion.
