Blyth manager Tom Wade saw his side totally dominate hosts Colwyn Bay on Saturday to record a 3-1 victory and he went on to suggest his team would only improve as the season goes on. “It was very one-sided,” he said. “We had loads of the ball although we didn’t actually create as many chances that the amount of time we had on the ball might have brought about.
