    Great win that and defended as a team not just the back four. Roll on Tuesday for another win. **** nars what team and formation RLB will choose but it’ll be the right one.

    on that note imagine if that final chance for Mayenda had gone in. Their keeper (who was useless) managed to save it but going in 1-3 would have been amazing

    I joked about Roberts scoring with a pass before the game. His best effort was somewhere in between. He had a chance to nail it and fluffed it.

    Roberts defensive work is as weak as his attacking threat, We have to thank Ballard and O/9 (the real captain of that team) for that win not REG who seems unable to pick a team without Roberts , and until the penny drops he wont get my full support . I still think we can get there but by doing it the hard way. so unnecessarily imo. . OaU

    Think there’s no doubt chances wise. We created far more than they did. Their only clear chance was the one they scored. There were 3 or 4 for us!

    Oh and I have a headache! Absolutely worth it though!!

    I forgot about that chance in the midst of the celebration in the stands. We could’ve nicked another. Fantastic performance

    3 milk thistle before you go out and a pint of lemon water and a teaspoon of bicarbonate down in one when you get up

    Fantastic result last night. Couldn’t relax all game and the pleas from the wife to calm down went unheard. Thankfully I didn’t smash the new light fitting we got put up recently after I smashed the old one celebrating when we beat Sheff Utd a few months back!! :emoticon-0105-wink::emoticon-0105-wink::emoticon-0105-wink:

    I get your view on Robert’s and I share it but that game was RLB’s tactics executed brilliantly. RLB does deserve the credit. He deserves it for getting us to the playoffs with ease in his first season in the league where he’s taken on a shambles of a side from last year. He deserves credit for using the previous 5 games in the way he did. It’s now paying off. Players are so up for it. Great season thanks to RLB.

    That’s boro double done, beat Coventry away, beat Swansea, stopped the rut against Cardiff of winning and losing one game each to name a few

    oh and both strikers scored last night despite being crap a couple weeks ago
