Oatcakes with cheese, Lobby with crusty bread and a 2-0 win over a devious and dismal Accrington Stanley to take us to our rightful place at the top of the league. Does life actually get better than this?
How utterly astounding was Marc Richards' goal? I was sat in The Bycars and was convinced it was going to blaze wildly above my head! Astonishing goal! And the second was quality as well, Jemal Johnson showing us some skill and pace before playing the perfect ball into the path of Louis Dodds for a calm and composed finish.
Justin Richards should have helped himself to a couple before half-time, but went a bit 'Akpo' with his finishing. No matter, two goals against a side that had conceded just one in their previous seven games is proof of our new found cutting edge.
Just a word about Accrington Stanley. The first half hour they were horrible to watch, and it's little wonder that hardly any fans bothered to travel down from Lancashire if this is what they're having to put up with. Up until the point we took the lead Stanley were incredibly negative, time wasting at every given opportunity, conning free-kicks from a desperately poor referee, little ambition in going forward.
And yet, in the second half when they did come out to try and give us a game they were actually a half decent side, kept possession well and played the ball around nicely. They might actually win a few games if they adopt the attitude they had in the second half straight from the first whistle.
Anyway, the Oatcakes came courtsey of 'Hamil Road Oatcakes' - £1.56 for two with cheese, the Lobby courtesy of 'The Lunchbox' on Hamil Road - previously the Strawberry Cafe - £2.20 for a bowl with crusty bread.
Tuesday night and Shrewsbury Town could be a little bit special...
