    I was at the match today, thought the defence was superb, Omochere and Harrison worked hard up front, with Conteh also putting in a really good performance well supported by McEachran, Thomas grafted without much luck but we still need a attacking midfielder who can create good chances

    What was the last part of the game like when we went 5 at the back bringing Moore on?

    Well I have a free evening now. I watched the first 16 minutes of Rovers on Sky plus. 3-0 down. Absolutely rubbish. The women's team would have done better.

    Now you know why I changed my score prediction. The likes of Mola and Moore are liabilities.

    Yay! Cavegn has got his first goal for the club, 2-3.

    I think you might have switched off a bit prematurely CJS, sounds like a helluva game- 4-4, five minutes to go, Spurs down to ten men.

    We won the penalty shootout 5-4!

    Well done to Brad Young in goal - he saved a couple.

    I don’t think this result was on the cards after 16 minutes of the game. There were over 4,000 following the end of the game on the BBC website - normally it’s a couple of hundred. Great entertainment for the thousand Gasheads down there. Cavegn got a brace too. Ollie Dewsbury couldn’t hit a cow’s arse with a banjo and probably needs to go out on loan to the 5th tier somewhere

    Despite the dismal first 20 mins, the team showed great character to come back from 3-0 down .

    Yep. I switched it off. I checked the score in the 2nd half and it was 4-2. I checked twitter later on an I forgot we were playing and accidently came across tweets about the shootout win. I was like "WTF" <laugh>

    The defending from us for those opening 3 goals were shocking. Mole was to blame for the 1st and 3rd. Ellison who was in the middle of the back 3 followed his man into midfield leaving a massive gap at the back and Mola and Moore didn't think to close that gap and mark the free man waiting for the ball. All 3 CB's to blame fore the 2nd. They looked like they were going to score every time they attacked. Some potential 'Anderson' players there we should get in on loan as we lack creative players.
