"This is a massive win for us because we want automatic promotion and we also needed to follow up the good wins we had on the road to show what we’re all about.”

“Now I want to keep on doing the same and help us pick up more good results to get up in to the top three.”

That's right, Shaq Attack - keep saying this before every match and drum it into the team. You may belong to Spurs, but you're a Shrimper right now and we need your positivism.

Footballers are not generally considered to be the brightest bunch

Bit of a misleading headline, Shaq knew scoring would put us 1-0 up he just didn't think too much about it until after it had gone in, he was too busy concentrating on scoring from the spot.

Love that he wanted the ball and to take the responsibility on, especially considering that he's taken a fair bit of flak off the crowd lately.

Pigott tried to take the ball of Shaq but he was having none of it. Very well taken penalty

Good to see both players wanted to take the penalty and with the confidence to do so,seen a lot of players in my time shirk the issue when there is so much at stake.Shaq apparently was already getting stick from a small section ,imagine the stick he would have got had he missed.But well done to the lad , stuck it up the booing brigade.

Full credit to him. If he'd missed we'd have probably been on page 12 of a thread questioning why he took it?.

Slightly annoying as I had 1-0 and Pigott at 20-1.
