just back

Thanks for that Mighty. Hopefully it all will be shown on the highlights. Still cannot believe anyone would intentionally do a back pass like that.

Who did John Tondeur say was sitting with Fenty,ex Southend Striker?

I heard what sounded like Hugh Garden but I Googled it got a lot of streets in UK rather than a footballer 😳

I think that Waterfall got a bobble. His passing had been otherwise good so I'm sure he didn't intend to chip the ball up like that. A bit soft, but there you go, it didn't matter. Just as long as we don't miss out on the play-offs through goal difference!

I had a look at their squad and there’s a Lewis Gard 🤷‍♂️

Mr Kettle had a good game and NO CARDS, surprise surprise  

There was a young lad maybe 18 years old Sat behind me with a Welling tracksuit top on . Maybe a trialling?. He was a long way from home  just to take in a football match .

Quoted from Numanoid

Are you sure he didn't say that fenty was sat with huge harden cos that's what I thought he said lol

That’s what sexy football does for you...

Quoted from It Bites

63   Therein lies the problem with direct promotion to the EFL

Explain to us all how you get indirect promotion ?

The difference in the football being served up at BP from earlier in the season to now is quite astounding.

We had 67% possession today. I don't think I've ever seen Town sides have that much possession. It's been coming though, I think we've been having the greater share of possession in most games in recent weeks. I know possession isn't everything and doesn't mean much if you don't put the ball in the net, but it gives you a chance, and it's sure as hell better to watch.

Today was all about patience in my opinion. And the patience of our lads won the game. We try to play and move the opposition around. We try to build from the back into midfield, and if we can't get further forward than that we'll come back and start at the back again. People are moving off the ball, not penned into their rigid little area they've been told to be in anymore, and players are confident enough to pass and receive the ball under pressure.

Morecambe had some early efforts at our goal but the longer the game wore on, they were happy sitting in protecting their clean sheet. The second half in particular saw us step up the pressure and build momentum. We were starting to get Vernam on the ball a bit more, and Clarke showed some absolutely impeccable touches. The change getting Green on helped get the breakthrough, not so much because of his performance but just due to the extra man up there which reduced the number of spare bodies they had back there defending.

But the key for me, as I said, was our patience. It's easy to start to panic and, through a sense of urgency as time ticks away, start to go more direct and be less composed. But despite time ticking away in that second half, our team stuck to the playing philosophy that Holloway is building. They still passed the ball, and they tried to work openings rather than forcing things forward. This, deservedly, won us the game I thought.

Possession: 67% to their 33%.
Shots: 21 to their 9.
Shots on target: 7 to their 3.

Really enjoying watching this Town team. Already can't wait for the next game. Not only that, I'm excited for what Holloway could have us playing like next season, after having this impact mid-season within a matter of weeks.
