    I can seem a negative ****er at the best of times but I’m buzzing tonight. Today was great, I’ll always remember the smile on my little lads face when we went 2-1 up.

    That sort of sums up Power for me. Doesnt play much football but wants to shout the odds and throw his mentality about. I could never understand him as captain at all as he rarely encouraged but often bollocked. If you are that sort of captain you better be the best player and he wasnt. I reckon the young lads will flourish in this team where mistakes are allowed and encouragement is in abundance. Watch how O'Nien behaves, always encourages his team mates and in his inteview he talks about mentoring young lads - that is the sort of character that will drive us forward.

    All it needed was a team to put a shift in and flash a bit of skill, we have had ****e shoved down our throats for years, its bound to affect us , now finally we have turned the corner it only took committent and investing in our academy and a few quality player instead of gold diggers onwards and upwards, Heres hoping the end to negativity.

    I really enjoyed thev70 minutes I saw. Even the “nervy” ending. I never worried except when butte made his obligatory mistake but our defenders were awake (thought burge did well otherwise)

    Winchester was decent. Gooch, for me, motm. My Dad had his obligatory whinge when he went to wing back. Said Bailey Wright should go there (I **** you not)

    Better than us though… According to them! “Your support is ****ing ****” when it’s the first time they’ve had more than 28 at an away game!!

    Wasn’t worried once until Diamond tried taking their team on in the 92nd min in our own half and losing the ball. Very comfortable for most of it. Good season ahead imo.

    They are not that far away and have barely amassed 200 on most occasions

    Early days but it feels different this year.
    Just need another 4/5 players as promised and we will be on our way.

    Get this Cirkin signed, and I can’t see us being stopped this season if I’m honest.
