Just Back

Quoted from forza ivano

Should add v impressed with jamie Turley their centre half.mixed race lad number 25, v quick and strong.looked to have everything under control particularly second half

Agreed, was thinking if we needed a CB over the summer he would be an excellent addition.

Pearson man of the match for me, won pretty much everything in the air. Great battling performance from all the team. Macca looked nervous as hell and Toto wasn't at his best. I would drop Palmer for Pittman on Saturday, he has really gone off the boil. Get the ball wide early on Saturday and really have a go at their defence. The Town fans were magnificent, hope it came across well on TV. The second half was particularly good when most people moved into the same stand.

LJL mom imo. The amount of running he did
Palmer probably played his last game for us? Not even sure his size is an asset anymore.
Would like to see the penalty shout again, was a worrying moment!

Forgot to mention that shop played his part defensively.was v strong at their corners and won a number of headers from their set pieces

Very quickly; Dis and Pearson excellent, Gowling likewise. For me ref should've booked their lad early on for the cynical foul on the sideline, walked the lad who elbowed Disley but also how he didn't give a pen for Maccas Rush of blood is beyond me.
Need sleep

What a fantastic bloody feeling!

Arnold has to be MOM for his 2 goals and some very good runs but a lot of good performances.  Agree that Mackreth was excellent in his defensive duties though and could of pushed him close as could Pearson.  Agree with the comments about McKewan, didn't look too comfortable and at times thought he was almost too 'up for it' and could of possibly benefited from being calmer.  Looking forward to seeing the game again on BT sport to examine our performance in more detail though, a nice luxary to have.  

Crowd were superb although why did the tools throw smokebombs?  Apart from that particuarly in the second half when the two groups of singing fans united in the main stand it was great to hear.  Also agree, think Eastliegh could have a lot better facilities and roads leading to the ground but they made up for it in excellent and friendly staff!  Cannot wait for Sunday now!

Agree with Ceasar although I think McKeown was 'targeted' by Eastleigh from the start. They left their foot in on him several times and seemed lots of verbal stuff too. No excuse mind.

Outside of his goals I have to tdtally disagree with Ivano as I thought Arnold was superb when we didn't have the ball. His work rate and sheer pace to get back and chase men down was first class.

Pearson got his head to everything and although Toto's use of the ball was Parslowesque he defended very well.

Really really enjoyed the atmosphere. Fantastic loud support which must have helped the players dig in when they needed too.

Not over yet. Get to BP on Sunday if there is anyway you can

It has to be either Pearson for his consistent, solid defence or Arnold for two absolutely sublime strikes for Man of the Match.

Quoted from LH

Dead right. Some bell end in the Cricks was cheering when Eastleigh scored theirs tonight.

Slightly dangerous I'd have thought. Strange mentality. Maybe one of too many sadly, in Grimsby, who don Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea shirts, turning their backs on what football should really be about.
