Just back

Sounds like a great game and thanks for the reports. I watched Tuesday's match on i-follow, can you tell me what the differences were?

Seen the highlights, love the fact every goal is different in the way itss been set up / scored etc. Max Wright, well... What a run.

I put grimsby (at 50/1) in my each way lucky 15 to win the league / promotion along with Sunderland (3/1), Leeds (4/1)and spurs (12/1)
I have aa feeling a may be getting some money back this year for the First time ever!

Big one is that we scored 5 goals instead of 2  ....
Seriously though, I watched Tuesday’s game on iFollow and went today, so it’s not an exact comparison, but I think a big difference was that both teams tired in midfield in the second half, making the game much more open. This was probably because of the heat and I think the injection of Clifton gave us good energy which helped us cope.
We were basically better equipped to exploit the spaces that opened up. Our front line is a real handful, and when Max Wright came on they just couldn’t cope with his speed.
So in summary I wouldn’t get too carried away as we won’t get these circumstances too often, but the big positive to me is how the team is handling and responding to going behind.

Cheers, I watched on Tuesday and was underwhelmed but it sounded fantastic today

Quoted from Nutsy

Thought Pollock was lucky to not be more than cautioned for piggy backing their players a few times but stood up well aside from that.

Man of the match for me is either Ogbu or Green. Green goes under the radar but his hold up and general presence up front was class

No different to what their illegitimate of a Centre half was doing all first half to Hanson. That lino was horrifically shite, don’t think he raised his flag all game. Probably the wankest linesman ever seen.

Quoted from devs

Cook made a big difference for me
Gave midfield some craft and invention
Good footballer Cook - excellent touch and brainy

Ogbu MOM for me - always a threat in second half
Hess - a dynamo
Green - classy finish
I like Hewiit's pace and crossing is excellent
Wright - top impact sub

We are strong, direct but also play a bit of footy

We have a goal threat - vital cos you'll never keep clean sheet after clean sheet

Looking good

I prefer poetry when it rhymes, but each to his own  

Right let’s get the 2 soft goals out of the way before my reflection on what was a really good afternoon for the team and Supporters. Yeah we conceded 2 relatively soft goal but scored 5 in responses all 5 where we’ll taken and we’ll crafted by 5 different players which makes it even better..... add to that coming from behind, again!

So I won’t go through the game as there are better and more eloquent posts above than I could ever pull together but on the 3 hour drive home I thought ......

- 5 good goals from both set pieces and open play. Our composure in the final 3rd looked much better and is improving.

- Green & Hanson if we can keep them fit they’ll prove to be the best attacking signings we’ve made since returning to the EFL. Hanson is a real handful and made their number 15s life a misery today. Green is very clever in the way he drags opponents around to create space for others. They both know where the back of the net is too!!

- Moses, he must be a real challenge to play against as you can’t tell what he’s going to do next, I’m not convinced he can most of the time but that kind of unpredictability seems to work for us and he made a real difference today, good celebration too.

- Hess, another great performance and along with the likes of Whitehouse and evidently Waterfall he’s part of a cohort of real up and at em leaders in the outfield

- Whitehouse, looked knackered after 60 mins but still worked himself even harder, with more mins under his belt he’s going to be a big player for us this term.

- The subs, Pollock comes on and makes it look easy. Clifton did the job he was meant to do and Max? Fast as f**k and once again was involved in a goal at the end to well and truly kill a game. All 3 home grown all 3 self assured and confident beyond their years.

- We need a half decent left back as a good footballer like Hendrie could add value in mid field

- The officials? Shite again!!!

- The opposition could do quite well if they focused on playing and not hitting the deck at every opportunity. Felt a bit for their keeper Scott Brown as I remember him clapping the Town fans behind his goal after we’d lost at Wycombe the season Jolley arrived.

- The attitude is superb at the moment and Jolley’s recruitment clearly is based around a player who has integrity as well as ability.

And for me the most telling but?

- We are playing in a way that suits the players rather than the players having to apart to a style beyond their abilities.

Good day for Town as I say. How far can we go? If injuries are kind to us and we add a couple more who knows?

I’ll remain cautiously optimistic as long as the players remain as dogged and committed as they did today.

UTM!!

When limbrick clapped the main stand at the end he looked genuinely over the moon. I did too.

He would have been we won scoring 5 and he had an enjoyable afternoon doing what he’s really good at ......... digging out 4th officials 😉

I thought we played hoofball now ? Not many mentions of that tonight?!!
