Corby banned all three photographers from pitchside (which, of course, they are entitled to do). We were able to shoot from behind the barriers but this involved standing among supporters for much of the time and is far from ideal. There was very little evidence of social distancing among the crowd yesterday (and hardly any facemasks). Given that I’m 70 I chose not take a chance. Apologies to players and fans but I’ll be back in action on Tuesday. COYD!

Steve, even funnier than the tannoy announcement was the fact that everyone ignored him! I think it was aimed at the home supporters who swapped ends at half-time; not one moved when asked.

Regarding the team performance, let nobody be under any doubt that we deserved the win against a good side who did not have an “off day”. We were VERY good - well drilled, disciplined, skilful, energetic.

First time I’ve seen Riddick play (and pay attention; last week was just catching up with mates in the sun 😀). What a wonderful defensive midfield performance he put in yesterday. He gave the defence the protection I felt they have lacked for several seasons and his presence seems to have freed Ollie Hogg to play a more expansive role.

Special mentions for the keeper - great verbal marshalling of the defence and confident dealing of crosses in testing conditions; Max Hercules for phenomenal work rate and beautiful technique; Ty Deacon for the best performance I have seen from him (including when I have seen him play for a couple of other teams); great 20 minutes from the sub - looked easily good enough to start.

Finally, back at yer Mr D. Look forward to catching up soon.
