    Wouldn't it be a great way to celebrate 50 years after that FA Cup result against Leeds to get back to Wembley and win? I've already got my 7 year old grandson asking if I'll take him to the play off final if we get there!

    cheers again RTB...

    good win in the end after not a great game, we really are starting to struggle around the box and never seem to know what to do or what pass to make as so few venture into the box.

    joffy and onien did well, think cirkin was hard done to, the more times i saw his 2nd yellow it looked much more like chong just ran into him and forearm smashed him, not long after that i think he was stood staring at clarke...could have done with bally in there today to bring chong back to earth.

    was it a nervy game from the lads i wonder, plenty of passes going astray and runs into players but 9th place and a point off 6th is more than we imagined.

    most players seemed to have their five minute spell then dropping off again so my MotM is going to patto, couple of good saves along the way and stayed calm at the end to get a few more seconds off the clock.

    ref was ok although if he is going to let some players off with pulling back then he has to show the same 'service' to all.

    Absolutely mate since KLD took over the progression has been amazing Loads to work on but we now have the foundations of a special team and club for that matter. Just to be flirting with the playoffs after the last few years is ridiculous. Just really enjoying the ride can’t wait to see what’s next

    Gooch back to LB I'd assume. Unless O'Niens partner still hasn't had the baby and he ends up missing out.

    Only other thing would be to give Anderson a start.

    Indeed. Harsh red card that one. I thought the lad booted the ball and ran straight at him. From where I was it looked like he Elbowed him

    Yep. Looked deliberate to me .

    But we deserved to win against a ****house team who might do better if they concentrated less on pushing, pulling, elbowing, late challenges and trying to ref the game.

    Horrible club, horrible supporters. They would be no miss to the game if they folded tonight.

    For the, well....every game this season, I've had a moaning bugger behind me who thinks we're ****e but would seemingly be happy if we had 10 outfield players who just lumped the ball forward and chased after it. I'm convinced he's furious every time we win <eek>

    Sounds like I had it back to front with Cirkin's yellows but either way it was one of the softest reds you'll see. Fortunately I don't think it'll matter much and didn't cost us.

    Must agree, Cirkin stood his ground and their player ran straight into him.
