Thought we were really poor today, but importantly got the 3 points. Loft and Tomlin were good other than that a poor performance.

My first game in ages. Thought it was a good performance but could have gone either way, both sides had lucky escapes and a draw wouldn't have been unfair.

 

Two very well taken pens. Hard to tell whether they were the right decisions or not. We were lucky with the first as it came from a ***** corner! But there was another we should have got first half.

 

Thought Adam's subs helped win it in the end!

When was the last time we were awarded two pens in the same game.

 

Wasn't it Burton last season?

Another below par performance but will take the 3 points,

I thought it was an entertaining game. Although they played the better stuff, and passed us off the park at times, they didn't really threaten much. Johnson hardly had any saves to make. I thought we created by far the better chances, 2nd half in particular. Possession football is no good if you can't create. Didn't really see the first penalty but 2nd was stonewall for me. Both very well taken.

 

Today's top performers were Duffy, Loft and Tomlin for his last 20 minutes.

 

Today's 'must do better' were Hughes, Yates, Griff (very poor again. He looks unfit and didn't win many of his tackles) and Tomlin for his first 70 minutes.

 

Very pleased with the attendance.
