Also thought Harry Thomas was good today. Him at left centre back and Eduino Vaz outside him can really cause problems.
We weren't bad today, and Hornchurch weren't amazing, but they were pretty solid and looked like pulling off a pretty textbook away win. Two goals from three chances that I can really remember. But what a superb finish to the game, and once we'd scored one the momentum with the side made it feel almost inevitable that a second was coming.
When it rains like that and pushes all the supporters in under the cover behind the goal it makes for a really superb atmosphere as well.
