ROB HUGHES: A thoroughly professional performance topped off the week perfectly.

Six more points, six goals added to the goals for column and two more clean sheets as we rose to the top of the Blue Square Bet North summit.

Goals continuing to arrive from all areas of the team making victory even more satisfying. Especially the manner of the victory against Worcester on a bobbly pitch that was certainly not conducive to high quality football.

Whitehead slotted in, and despite a few nervy moments early on, grew in to the game and made some vital interceptions and stood up well to some of the aerial pressure Worcester tried to exert in the second half as they attacked down the slope.

But his defensive partner, once again had to be the stand out man, attacking the ball superbly at both ends and grabbing himself a brace (although the second may be a bit dubious) in the process!

Our delivery from the flanks asked all kinds of questions and although we could have gone on to score even more, we didn't want to over commit ourselves going forward and to be honest never looked in any danger once we had gone two goals to the good. Newton's free-kick and our third was also pleasing.

And with morale in the camp seeming high, with injured players returning to fitness, we can certainly believe that the future is in our hands. We need to remain firmly behind the lads that are out there on the pitch and with this support, anything is possible!

Even the unlikely - there are still plenty more twists and turns in the final ten games, but all we can do is hope to win every game we play and then look back and see if we have done enough, come April 30.

Come on the Bucks! This can be our season.
