Post by Bobos »

Good result 3-0, could have been more, if James had his lucky boots on

Well done lads, another clean sheet 8-)

Had we put away the chances that fell to us we would have won about 8-0 I reckon, I recall at least 5 gilt edged chances, maybe more. Always a bit edgy at 2-0, but the third goal killed it - should really have been a shedload though. Well done lads !!

Another good night's football, better than staying at home and watching ManUre on the telly thats for sure.

Really looking forward to Monday now, spread the word and lets travel in good numbers eh? The lads deserve great support, we're not going to win the League, but a Cup would make this season a bloody terrific start.

I thought the game was a bit scrappy & not our best performance but still a very good result. James Harrison could've had a double hat trick

I thought it was a really good performance, we look much stronger physically than we did at the start of the season and you can really see the improvement over the last few months. We out muscled them all over the pitch and it was only sloppiness in front of goal that stopped it from being a rout. James Harrison was excellent, his strength created loads of opportunites and another day he would have had a bagful of goals with just a little more composure in front of goal. Louis Smith and Danny Bird were great again and with Harrison really give us strength right down the spine of the team. Jeron puts it good consistent performances. Ashley Meeks seems to be influencing games a lot more recently, he did brillaintly last night, stretching the play and finding tons of space down the right. Thought the new lad Roche had a good debut as well but everyone did well, there haven't any passengers in those two performances against Chenecks. Well done all.

Oh and can we have that ref every week ;)

James just had one of those games where the ball would not go in for him. Normally finishes them off.
