A couple of Corby fans getting riled up on social media, apparently we only had ourselves to blame for the added on time because we were time wasting! We had plenty of teams doing that to us last season.
I’m looking forward to Tuesday night now.
Yeah I heard some Corby fans after the game moaning about our players whinging and going to the ground trying to con the ref and while I wouldn't disagree with them that we were going down easy to run the clock down, would they have been any different had they had a narrow 1-0 lead at 90 minutes?
I'm no fan of time wasting or cheating tactics in football, but when everyone else is doing it to you, I don't see much value in taking the approach we did under Nunn of trying to take the moral high ground and pretending we're better than that, but of course getting bullied and losing every game.
I was loving it . Every time we was going down I was celebrating . Dark arts of the game that we’ve never had for 3 seasons. I know Nunn didn’t like it which is ok when you have the best squad in the league but we were the worse and made us even more like kids v men
Setchell was fair minded in his post match interview. He was impressed with our improvement from last season and basically said he was quite understanding of our "tactics" and would have done the same in our position.

Interesting to see other links with rdfc, with Ray Warburton as his assistant and Butterworth's dead ringer son in midfield

They definitely would have, we know how frustrating it can be when teams employ those kind of tactics, I wouldn’t be opposed to it if it means we pick up some extra points.
