Left home at about 12:30 and got the 127 bus to Mitcham library where I got the 280 bus to the ground. Got to the ground at about 13:20 and sold programmes at the Gander Green Lane end of the ground. Didn't sell out before KO and finished selling them about 5 mins into the game before going off to find spot to stand in. Mum, Dad and Joseph were late arriving as they were delayed in traffic in Mitcham so they missed the first 35 mins. Guiseley started the 1st half the better side and we gave the ball away too easily and it looked like we thought this game would be a walkover given that they were bottom of the league. We took the lead from a corner about 30 mins into the game after Tyrell Thomas tapped it in after it was fumbled around in the box. Guiseley lacked quality and their heads dropped after that goal and the 1st half finished 1-0. Went and sat down with Mum, Dad and Joseph in the stand in the 2nd half. Second half we came out and dominated the half from start to finish and deservedly doubled our lead through Harrison about 50 odd mins into the game. The goalkeeper spilled the ball before it was squared to Harrison who tapped it home from close range. Again, we played with confidence and looked very good on the ball. We got a third through Eastmond after good work from Bolarinwa down the wing who got to the by-line and squared it to Eastmond to make it 3-0. The 4th goal came straight from a corner from Beautyman who curled it into the far side from the corner. Guiseley's goalkeeper had a poor afternoon and once it got to 4-0 we looked comfortable seeing the game out. Big 3 points to keep pace with the leaders Macclesfield and pull away in the race for a play off spot. Got the 413 bus back to Morden station and then got the 201 home and got back at about 18:00.
