What a nail-biter this was! A difficult away game with hostile home fans and a poor playing surface meant that the home side were favourites to win. This was a dogged performance and although Saints dominated the first half-an-hour, they were not able to score.
Clearly the tension and high level of expectation were ever-present with the players - a projection from the fans. Mid-way through the second half, Spiderman hit out at a Yeovil player and was given a straight red card. On one level it's good that the youngster has such passion and cares so much, but on another he needs to learn lessons from these occasions as he will be missing for the next three critical games.
In the third minute of injury time Lee Barnard headed home the only goal of the game. What a marvellous result. Well done Saints. With Colchester losing and Saints still having a game in hand over them and Huddersfield, the dream is still alive. It continues tomorrow evening at St Mary's - bring on Oldham Athletic.
