Excellent second half from us, we've seen it a number of times this season but have always been let down by the end product. Tonight we stepped it up a gear and showed what we're actually capable of. Looked a stonewall penalty for us, although I did wonder for a second if he was gonna give it or...
Thought Macca was at fault for Tranmere's goal by coming for it very late when he didn't even need to but he made up for it with another fantastic save to stop it becoming 2-0. We started very poorly but grew into it after the save and have played some great stuff, both goals well worked...
Ref was quiet until the red card honestly. Didn't give many bookings that I thought he should've done. Also very surprised he didn't give the penalty shout. I know people seeing it back think it wasn't one but in real time it looked stonewall, even in slow motion it's a tough call.
Think both teams can be happy with a point over 90 minutes. We played very well after switching Embleton to a more central role. The red card for Collins is annoying and made things a bit more tense at the end but we coped well and still had the intention to attack until the end. Overall that...
Back in it and fully deserved. Ahkeem Rose making an instant impact to win a free kick and Cardwell gets his first goal for us from it. Dare say we can go on to win it but I will happily take a point.
Northampton have been the better side save for a 5 minute spell from us that saw us equalise and then nearly go ahead. Over the half we're very lucky to be level, Northampton should've had a penalty and McKeown made a save that was nothing short of world class just before the half time whistle...
Very good, composed finish by Rose after we've seen weeks and weeks of tame shots on goal. Picked his spot after a nice touch and hit it with confidence. Great to see we've got a young player with the ability to come on win games.
Great win, very happy for Rose and our good home form continues. Glad we grinded that out and put to bed the idea that we're unfit and unable to play late. Hopefully we can start another run with Embleton back. Really hope we can keep him for the season.
iFollow thankfully not working today as that sounded like a very drab half. Sounds like we're missing Embleton. Poor from Jolley for not getting the game postponed due to our very important callups.
I think our ceiling is huge and some of the passages of play we've produced have been second to none in this league but over 90, Mansfield were by far and away the best we've played. If it wasn't for McKeown / Collins and some substandard finishing, they could've easily put 10 past us. No other...
Just seen our goals and they were all a result of exactly the way we've been trying to play. Lots of possession in and around the box but this time we had the end product; willingness to hit it from the edge of the box, bodies in the mixer when we put crosses in and getting round the back of the...
We've scored 3, I repeat THREE, goals not only in a second half, but for the first time this season full stop. Hopefully we can kick on from here and it's not just a one off for the cup.
Mansfield were by far and away the best side I've now seen this season and I've seen us play all the top 10 minus Tranmere. They looked dangerous on every single attack from the start. Think Jolley got it wrong setting us up to be more positive in a game like that. As we went in at half time...
We are more than capable of beating Mansfield, we're decently competitive in defence and midfield. We CAN nick a goal, we've proven that, but if we do it's very likely to just be the one, probably a miss hit off someone's arse. Drop Hooper and get Hessenthaler back in the side to unlock defences...
Yeah our crossing is just another case of our poor end product. We could always play with wingers there ie Pringle as long as we play the likes of Welsh / Rose to cover defensively. I think Hendrie could play the wing back role though, he showed against Carlisle he's capable of getting forward...
I didn't think the game was that bad, or maybe that's just me being used to poor quality football. I thought Cambridge moved the ball well and both teams tried to pass it about. We defended well from some very good deliveries into our box. We just lack any sort of plan going forward. We break...
Dogshit result. Another decent performance ruined by a weak as piss attack. Really needed to not lose this one to avoid getting dragged into another losing run as I can't see us beating Mansfield. At least a few cup games follow to try and mix things up a bit.
This Hooper love in simply has to...
We had major warning signs starting in pre-season last year that we could be in trouble. Our signings were largely shit and some of our performances were disgraceful from a work rate and desire point of view. We had some goalscorers who helped keep us mid-table and admittedly I thought we were a...
