Today's performance has got to be one of the best I have seen us give in recent years, not in terms of goals scored or heroic, backs to the wall defensive displays but for sheer force of will and maintaining focus throughout the entire match.
Bentley's performance was the only reason Southend were not a beaten team by half-time; he was magnificent, a fact that seemed to be acknowledged at the end by the number of Saddlers players who went up to him. Etheridge did not pale in comparison either, although he had less work to do, he made at least three really good saves to deny them a goal.
Hard to single out a performance above any other but I thought Pennington was really in the groove today.
If Andy Butler needed to do anything to reinforce his place in the hearts and memories of Saddlers fans then he has surely done it today by scoring twice in five minute to help defeat 'Moneybags Wigan' and reel them back in after Grigg opened the scoring for them. Allied to other results going our way, a great day all round.
Roll on Bradford, a big occasion, no doubt a big crowd and the stage all set for another epic away day. Lets all get ourselves down there.
