Manning and Bree are my fave players at the moment because of the redemption arcs they're on. Guess you can add Stephens and Downes too, but the two full backs have made a massive difference in both defence and attack.Home
Great result and one I completely didn't see coming both when I woke up this morning and when the team sheet was announced.
Was the opposite to Wednesday night in that I don't think anybody played poorly. If I had to pick a best player I'd probably say Downes but I thought everybody did really well.
That save from Peretz in the first half was astonishing. Alan Blayney-esque.
Penalty was soft as ****, even Cov fans afterward said never a pen. Glad it didn't cost us.
Charles made a tackle/interception at 2-1 which was absolutely exceptional. Undoubtedly as good as a goal.
Word for Manning as although I felt he was rightly dropped for Wellington he's been excellent since coming back into the team and was again today.
Loaning out Bree in the summer seems dafter and dafter by the week.
He’s got a great footballing brain. Knew exactly where to stand so the ball would deflect off him into the goal
Yay go SR!
Should have parked their bus at the ground.When we got on the bus to go back to the train station, a woman gave us a seriously dirty look (if looks could kill!!) and then got up to ask the driver if away fans were allowed on “our” bus. When he said yes I gave her a lovely smile as she went marching back to her seat. She was not happy
The ITV commentators on the highlights described it as a “deft touch to turn the ball in” or words to that effect.
I'm giving him that
You jest, but he scored from the same position against QPR. While these goals look 'easy', it still has a lot to do with movement/positioning/finding space. Scoring directly from a corner is not an easy thing to do at all, especially under the nose of the keeper.
Yep, the percieved "clique" have been great for us during this current run and it feels to me that the team spirit is getting close to Adkins' Championship team.
Not me...For the first time I'm concerned that we might actually make the play offs
The more you practice the better your luck.
To be honest I’m not really sure I want us to get in the play offs and get promoted. The premier league is so rigged for the bigger and richer teams I really can’t be bothered
Go yo-yo, collect parachute payments, occasionally beating one of the 'big' clubs. There's always the possibility that with wise investments of a protracted run in the top flight.
Said last time around; it would be nice to win promotion & then decline. It’s so difficult financially to make the progression nowadays. Having said that, at least this time we wouldn’t have Russball & Tonda might be able to make a mark with this team plus a few additions. Still, long way to go. Wednesday will be another “marker”.
It was an almost unflawed January window from which the team is bearing fruit now, maybe Tonda is benefitting from Ben Garner's experience.
