Did what we needed to and showed a grit we've lacked this season, but thoroughly detested the fact we had to turn to anti-football, every man behind the ball - it was necessary, but I'm so sick of season after season in this shitty league of scrapping for our lives.
Shout out to Tharme who has made a big difference over the last couple of games, adding some physicality we've lacked and we've looked much better at defending crosses with him in there. I actually think it's his leadership qualities that have made a massive difference, though, adding another voice on the pitch that we were sorely lacking, especially at the back.

Yeah fair play to Tharme, whilst he isn't exactly setting the world on fire he does look an improvement on our CBs (low bar admittedly) and he is doing a lot of talking and organising during games which I think we've needed |

Passing was really poor i thought Holohan had a shocking game he came off the pitch cleaner than when he went on shirked a lot of tackles Andrews had his best game for us.
Wilson looked dead on his feet after 25 minutes Pyke is a far better player than him bigger puts himself about a bit.
One thing baffles me why can we not clear balls down the pitch we only seem to kick it 20 yards and invite pressure straight back on us.

A really ugly game of football but the most vital thing came of it - 3 points!
Having watched us this season we just look so poor when it comes to passing the ball or taking ball in the midfield, other teams seem to do it with ease just knocking it about. It seems we are a yard-off or don't have a plan what to do with the ball when it comes into feet. I think the summer (depending on if we do stay up), the midfield will be ripped apart and hopefully replaced with quality. Thompson who's come in looks to have something about him, a more polished and better footballing version of Green.

Could people stop creaming ther underpants about Danny rose ?
Very decent player in one of the most dreadful teams I’ve seen in nearly 40 years . Great 3 points yesterday and hopefully be safe with a few more wins but how did we get as poor as this . I reckon I could have played yesterday and nobody would have noticed . Utm

Firstly, I would have taken a crap 1-0 win before the game 100%.
I know this and also know that this was a game where 3 points was the only thing that matters. It gives us a free swing at Wimbledon on Tuesday and hopefully the lads will relax a bit and play better.
However, there is a but at the back of my mind.
It was an awful game of football to watch and we are definitely not in a false position ( that said, neither is FGR)
But if I was a FGR fan watching that, I would be seriously frustrated that they dominated play, played much netter than us and despite getting into great positions at least 10 times, their final ball was garbage. Thankfully.
Rose - you are a star
3 CB’s - well done, you did your job today.
Clifton and Hume - ur distributions was poor.
What has happened to Clifton?
His first touch was so bad again today and he got himself and the team into trouble a couple of times by not being able to control the ball and then having to lunge into challenges as it bounced away from him.
I wasn’t overly impressed by Thompson today either, he looked less mobile than we need and fingers crossed it’s just match fitness?
Andrew’s was also poor as well and Holohan also had one of his less impressive games.
We started 3-5-2 but after we scored. It was definitely 5-3-2 and we were overrun in midfield.
However, I am travelling to Wimbledon on Tuesday and do feel better with these 3 points in the bag.

I think you have it wrong with your line up. When we are on the attack we play 3-5-2. When not on attack 5-3-2 . |

Horrible game of football but vital vital 3 points. Rose was immense as usual, the whole team grafted but again I'm not sure what Jamie Andrews offers us ? He never gets into the game, I'm not sure what his role is meant to be because this might sound harsh but it's like playing with 10 men sometimes.
Anyway that's my main gripe , the effort and commitment in the defence was superb. FGR are a Horrible club so it made it even sweeter, I hope they go down.
I think we will be ok but certainly we have a massive massive job in the summer to get a team together.

Ugly game but the defensive doggedness got us the result.
We were effectively playing 6 at the back when they got over the halfway line with Clifton, Hulme and Thompson dropping deep. FGR used width as much as possible making really hard work for Holohan and Andrews to get on to them effectively and also very difficult if we won possession in the middle as there were very few immediate options.
Not pretty but it worked today and that was always going to be the most important thing for this match.

You're just after a nibble, and I'll give you one... The lad has had one of his best scoring season in a very poor team. He runs more than anyone I can remember in a town shirt. He's a pain to defenders and gives them no time on the ball, instead of just standing off like most. He's passionate, even when we are playing crap, not just winning. He's a real shithouse of a player. I'll admit I hated him when he was at Mansfield, for the exact same reasons I love him here. He just gets it and he's already a hero for me. |
