Jees we made hard work of this.

With the press attempting to stir up some kind of Huns revival it's important that we keep picking up wins, and this was a bit close.

80 minutes gone and still 0:0; not good.

The reports of the game said that the introduction of Lubo turned the game, but the truth was that the really significant change was Thompson moved out wide to accommodate Lubo, and his crossing was the really vital element. Henke helped himself shortly afterwards with a header and the men in maroon were throwing themselves on the turf in despair.

Lubo and Larsson linked up at the end to make it look respectable.
