Not pretty but more importantly took all three points just about sums up yesterday. I actually agreed with their manager in that they probably had the better of the ball across two thirds of the pitch but they literally did nothing in the all important final third. We did, and what a cracking finish it was from Rodgers.
We weren’t spectacular but I did think we were fairly solid apart from in the middle again, which barely comes as any surprise. Thompson did well screening the defence but he had little in front of him in Holohan and Andrews, but that’s what we have to work with until the end of April. Credit to all players though for battling all game. Something we have been lacking lately.

If yesterday was your very first football match you had been to watch you would never go again, the 3 points was the most important result but the game was awful. I know the wind didn’t help but what happened to all our midfield playmakers? it was just boot it upfield anyhow and anywhere and hope it found one of our players. I know DA said pre match they had changed a few things but that was a totally different way of playing to the Morecambe game that we almost won. Hopefully yesterday’s result will allow us to actually play football that we can enjoy watching. UTM

Rolled their sleeves socks underpants up and ground out a clean sheet. It was a dire game. One of the worst I’ve seen at BP from a Towns point of view. But as you know the only thing that matters to us is the result UTM

lmao what absolute garbage - they were as bad us. They had zero sustained pressure, zero shots on target, were allowed to pass the ball across the back line as they never did anything with it. No idea why they were looking to Keogh as some kind of lynchpin - he’s a 37-year-old former Championship defender, not a fit & mobile midfielder fresh out the Prem.
McAllister looked a bright spark at times but that’s all he was, a spark. Never felt like we were stretched, partly due to the formation, and anytime they had the opportunity to cross the ball they never had any quality.
Honestly couldn’t care less about the performance, we’ve spent all season saying good performances are meaningless if you don’t get any points at the end of it.
Thought Wilson did really well at times and shows what we’ve been missing in terms of another option up top & support for Rose.
What game were you watching? Thier number 46 and 7 were by far the best players on the pitch. Rose put a great shift in as did most of the lads but to say they were as bad as us is stretching it tbh, everyone around us thought they would score a couple and beat us such was Thier possession of the ball especially in the second half, we ground it out in a last ditch lives depended on it battle, but there was only one team wanting to play football. |

Well everyone around you should get out a bit more. They didnt have a shot on target, they didnt even have a half chance in the second half They were excrement and we won. |

You’ve just made a very important point. Their 46 and 7 did exactly what Artell has accused Hunt of doing- looking ‘nice’ but having no end product. They played nice football but they lost. They didn’t even manage a shot on target. |

Both teams showed why they are where they are imho. We didn’t do anything after getting in front, confidence/fragility/fear/forgotten how to win etc factors.. yes FGR had all the possession, but created nothing. Didn’t hurt us once. We defended slightly better but their lack of quality in final ball as much a factor. McAllister stuck to the touchline second half helped us massively. First half he was all over the place. The no 46 was gangly, awkward..but not impressive. And the no 3 was an absolute embarrassment..that dice in first half just one example. Spent most of the game on the ground.
We got the win..that’s all that matters. For now.

How was Hulme yesterday? Seems to be a much more solid all round option at left back/wing back..
