5-0 win would do nicely, alongside a Spennymoor defeat tomorrow meaning we can travel to Stockport on Saturday with a small small chance of making the play-offs.

Reckon the crowd will be around 1300, with hardly any Southport fans.

Their fans seem to want Kevin Davies sacked after spending a small fortune on players and overseeing seven defeats on the bounce recently.... now I've gone and cursed it for us!

Interesting to see how many travel as they were "definitely" running a coach!

First 20 minuets we looked ok , after they got the equaliser there was only one team in it and it wasn’t us very disappointed

To be fair, they had their chances in the first 20 minutes too. Could’ve been a different game though, at 3-1 I feel like the header was over the line. Not to be.

Earth calling TW.........Worst I have seen this season, when we got thumped at Chorley I thought at least they were a decent team. At one nil up tonight Southport were there for the taking, we should have put the game to bed straight after that first goal and really gone for them. Anyone care to disagree that Reece (along with others) had a poor game tonight? It frustrates me that one part of his game means he often doesn't challenge for 50/50 balls in the air as he gambles on the defender making a mistake, more often than not this does not happen, I would prefer he challenges, that way at least we have a 50% chance of winning the ball.

Awful performance - good job there was hardly anyone there to see it! Probably only O'Hanlon had a decent enough game - everyone else was well below par

We looked good until we scored, but then we were second best for the remainder of the game. Southport looked a decent side, especially considering they'd lost there previous 7 games. I can only assume that Josh Heaton wants to remain at Darlo, as any watching scouts would have left after we went 1-2 down, Heaton's worst game for Darlo. O'Hanlon was the only player who had a good game, although Trotman was decent until half-time and Vaulks was good when he came on for the second half. A game to instantly forget.

Agree that Styche had a poor game, seemed allergic to the 18 yard box.

Apparently Caton was not best pleased with being left out of the squad.

We were awful at the back, Heaton and Vaulks had poor games but without doubt the best side won tonight.We did not test their keeper enough and seemed a man short in midfield.Not the end of the world though and onto next season and see who Tommy can bring in and who will be released.Hopefully he can move some players on and freshen up the squad for a top 7 assault but all in all it has been a season of consolidation so will settle for that.

Great summary Ron as usual. Are you and the little soldier booked for Eindhoven yet?

The defence looked all at sea after losing Galbraith and Trotman.
