‘This resilience is who we are as a club’

We went top of the Premier League 2 table after a hard-fought 3-2 win over Blackburn Rovers on Monday night.

Folarin Balogun's late winner secured the three points after we were reduced to 10 men just eight minutes into the second half.

After the match, Kevin Betsy gave his assessment of our performance and the team's fighting spirit.

“First of all huge credit to Blackburn, they put on a really good performance in the second half and made it really difficult," he said.

"Our performance in the first half was exceptional at times, some of the movements, the patterns of play and the chances we created were excellent.
