I think resilience was a word as well which Matt sadly used and yeah they've definitely shown that
00:07
and you know to to be successful you need to have that that resilient streak and Wattle
00:12
shown plenty of fight in the last two games. I think he kind of used a sort of Manchester
00:18
United analogy and it is those those late goals which which prove crucial and kind of get on to
00:24
to DJ and what has been his role in the team this season. But you know I think I kind of went into
00:33
this sort of, Marlow described it last night, as a trilogy of promotion clashes and I sort of
00:41
went into it thinking that five points would probably be enough to give them enough of a
00:47
platform really going into that sort of final stretch in the remaining five games to probably
00:54
get the job done. And you know it's two points so far and they'll be coming up against a very
01:01
informed Port Vale team on Saturday but it's two points so far and you kind of look at how the
01:06
tables panned out and it's enabled them to sort of well firstly maintain that six point buffer
01:12
between Wimbledon which has now been extended to to seven points with that draw. It would have been
01:18
a very different story had Taylor Allen not curled that free kick into the top corner. I mean you know
01:24
Wimbledon would have went within three points of Walsall and Doncaster last night would have
01:31
went within two points and had a game in hand which would play against Salford later this month.
01:38
So you know they win that, that gives them an opportunity to leapfrog Walsall. So you kind of
01:43
look at those two draws and consider you know all I've just mentioned there and it's absolutely
01:50
massive in terms of sort of the permutations and
01:53
yeah the state of play in in League Two at the top end at the moment.
