Devastated I missed the game today as had to work until half 2.

Sounds like we were very good after the first 25 minutes with a few unpunished errors thrown in to keep us on our toes.

1 point of the playoffs now with Stewart and Ballard still to come back. You just never know I suppose

 

[Stormo]

Anyone got any links for the goals?

I'd have loved to have been there, but my cold has turned into laryngitis, and I've completely lost my voice (on top of feeling generally crap)

Hardly miss a game but as I get older, the more my body says "not this one mate"

Players looked like they were still on their hols first 20mins but once they knuckled down and got involved in the game we became more dominant and a good second half performance lead to a comfortable win. Good game management aswell towards the end, well done lads ️️️

 

[GingerNick]

I think when we are allowed to play we are as good as anybody in this league

This, In the house and still frozen, second half we were in total control

This, that result is massive for our season imo too, chuffed to bits

Just back from the match.

First half meh.

Second half we mullered them
Like.


And it was f***ing freezing.

About ten degrees warmer than the West Brom game coming up.

 

[humbug]

ps, that referee was absolute shite.

Loved it today! Daughter was over the moon her favourite player ( Pritchard ) scored also! The smile on her face was priceless!

Gooch's great start to the season was made up, it never really happened.

His last really good game was the 5-1 home win to Cambridge last season.

I would estimate that in Gooch's last 10 games he's been our worst player in at least 6 or 7 of them, people who defend his performances always will defend him for whatever reason they have.

Instrumental in winning today's game.

You did get the impression the result in this “extra” game would set the tone. Pushing on for the play offs or avoiding getting dragged into the play off scrap. Hope that’s the case given the result!

Hindsight and all that but christ there are some first half fannies in this thread.

It’s just so painful to me thinking about losing Stewart. I don’t know what to say or think.

If selling Stewart *really* is a part of the same story as bringing Patterson through, getting Roberts on a free, Clarke for a fraction of his previous price, Amad on loan, Alese…Cirkin… etc etc then I guess I’ll have to accept it.

It’ll be the saddest loss of a player in years and years - trust the process?

It does look like the club knows what it's doing, for once. The acid test will be the quality of Stewart's replacement/s.

Every game is the same.


How was Honeyman?

 

[seggaman]

Just a post on here so nothing concrete but him not signing a contract yet doesn’t look great.

Stewart has to decide between another Championship season with us or a few, better paid years with a top Scottish club. What would a Scotsman do?
