    very pleased about that score , was getting nervous towards the end, but pleased we showed some tenacity like other teams do against us, Sorenson should have had a red card for putting his fingers around Lukes neck

    Superb performance. Back 4 were outstanding, but the whole team showed steel and discipline.
    Excellent :emoticon-0148-yes:

    the ref got a few things wrong both ways. Probably on balance more in their favour but he wasn't as bad as many we've seen.

    Proved that the players have more heart, determination and confidence than some on here, brilliant team performance!

    Difficult for any young lad to make the step up from u21’s but even harder when you’re getting 15/20 minutes here and there.

    He’s a long term project. Barely played before coming to us too. I have faith in the club though, look at what they’ve done with the talent they’ve bought in so far. We’ll give them all time

    That is correct Why have some been writing us off before a ball was kicked and for those writing off the season, give your heads a shake and enjoy the rest of the games

    Gelhardt's best game for us today. I know he missed that sitter, but his all round game was very good

    cheers again RTB...

    few expected that like, what needed to be done was done with the team looking far more organised and aware, could have been a couple of goals but will take that.

    the amount of replays that showed thier players falling over without a touch just showed the horrible down-turn of the game, i was brought up to be 'professional' in sports and show respect but that side of the game is horrible.

    yeh we had a few challenges as the game wore on but i can only remember one that was not 'honest' and the lads had to dig deep, sometimes though, onien really pushes the limits...love the man though.

    going along with batth for MotM, was always going to be a defender in this game although roberts and clarke get a mention for holding back on thier normal game.

    Yeah he can be happy with that even if he wakes up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat having a nightmare about that miss.

    He really benefited from having someone alongside unsurprisingly.

    Chuffed for the fans that went. Chuffed for me cos I can be. Great defensive team performance. Last week was clearly a bit of a one off. Maybe a few of the them were trying too hard because of AN. Anyhow great goal, decent subs, ****e ref. Norwich didn't make the most of their many free kicks in and around the box. Patterson didn't have too much to do at all. Happy Sunday.

    Despite at times being a bit of a brute on the pitch, 09 is very articulate.. MoTD?
