Good stuff, means everybody is there for the taking. To be honest, when we were sweeping past The Swan I remember at the time thinking that they weren't that bad a side, particularly the quality of some of their play in the final third. We rode our luck but we also defended well and played with such enthusiasm and energy that we took the game to them to the point where they almost expected to lose.

We need to be setting that sort of performance as our minimum standard though, because anything less than that and we open ourselves up to dropping points. I have no doubt that there was a link between the fact that we kept a clean sheet and the fact that we scored 5 goals. It wasn't because The Swan were rubbish because they weren't.
