Just Back

OMG! The most entertaining game i've seen in many a moon. It had just about everything. Crosses, shots, flying saves, an incredible goal line clearance, a worldy goal, a soft as sh1te goal, a come from behind win and a late winner. Even if the score had been reversed, i would have felt thoroughly entertained. Swindon played their part and made numerous chances but we made more and deserved the win.

We actually played football for large parts of the game and it was such a refreshing change from what has happened in previous games. Still pinching myself, but well done to all, i didn't think they had it in them.

Ball on floor for long periods and a centre forward who caused problems. Let's hope RS doesn't change the left side now but can't understand why it's taken so long to give DJ a start. A lot of 7/8 out of 10s tonight but MoM for me was Sam Jones who worked a lot harder than at any time this season.

Mark the lesson - play some football, get results!

Chuffed.

Good performances all over despite McKeown’s clanger. Who’d have thought an attacking selection would bring goals?

Hearty applause from Fenty and another director tonight when the attendance was read out.

Err Macca also made a fantastic save to keep us in it.

Best game of season everyone put a shift in, great team win fully deserved.. crowd also behind the players even when behind which was great to hear.

Did anybody else see the back-heeled volley by Dembele in front of the Main Stand (near the end of the game)? Worth the enterance fee alone!

I was rushing to post as I am up at 0345 for work so it may not have been the best example of the use of the word “Despite”  

We know Fenty reads the Fishy now we know Slade must do as well.

Now you know it works Russell the same again on Saturday please.

A thoroughly enjoyable evening's entertainment.

Ben Davies was excellent at left back but the main thing that won us that game was our wingers. Both unplayable at times.

McKeown had an absolute nightmare with equaliser and looked VERY relieved when the winner went in. His habit of letting in howlers was the only real downer and to be fair he also made some good saves.

Have you been helping yourself to the stock PSG ??
The Macca howler was their second goal.....it was Danny Collins who let their man have all the time in the world to smash it in the top corner for the first.

Great entertainment tonight....from the first 20 seconds when their keeper made a great save.  Should easily have had four goals by half time with several good saves from their keeper denying us.....give all the team credit tonight as the manner of both Swindon goals could easily have killed their spirit off but they dug back in and kept plugging away with some decent wing play.

Second half we started to get frustrated and gave away too many cheap fouls...Rose in particular trying to tackle from the wrong side too often but they kept going and while we were fortunate that their rapid counter attack from our corner didnt result in what i thought should have been a penalty and a red for Summerfield we finally got the equaliser after great work from DJ...thought he had overcooked the pull back but Siriki took a calm touch and didnt panic with the finish.

Easily could have stopped at 2-2 but we went again forced a third...Rose being Johnny on the spot.  Couple of scary moments but held on to seal a really good victory.

Positives - much more of an attacking intent tonight.   Mills and DJ linked very well. Matt led the line very well. Even at 2-1 down the team were applauded off at half time.

Not so positives - Rose, yes he got the winner but felt he contributed little else other than giving free kicks for Swindon. Throw ins....please stop throwing the ball to the opposition. Booing Vernon when he came on.

More of the same and i think we would all be happy.

I thought Matt played very well tonight pretty much up front on his own, he won headers and held it up fairly well at times and was much better than last time i see him.
The 2 wingers played there part too and caused the defense some problems.

Still something missing for us in the middle of the park though, a area that does need some work.

Central defense were good in most part but still think the age and pace is working against us and think Clarke is the week link, the first Swindon goal even though a crackin finish had what seemed an age on the ball without nowone goin near him.
Hard to pick MOM for me, though Matt did well and his finish was class and his link up with Jones at times good, jones did ok but the wingers get it for me but in a large part due to Davies supporting them on the left.
