Saturday 23rd October

[Cas]

Two shots at goal, one on target from Swindon after 68 minutes. I'd be fuming if I were a Swindon fan.

 

[EricSabin]

Get in, 2-0 up at Tranmere. Still petrified we lose from here.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Turned it round, now just need to avoid another going missing moment at the back.

 

[kieran_vale]

Colchester are really poor.
I usually see the game as a football fan and not a one eyed vale fan, but geez they’re terrible.
One move and a header and that’s it.
Absolutely smashing them, Conlon is tremendous today.

This is the kind of game I want us to be really ruthless now. Go for the jugular and look at about 4 or 5 and a clean sheet. Nice little opportunity to raise our goal difference here.

 

[Cas]

Theo Robinson with a worldie. 3-0.

 

[EricSabin]

Missed three huge huge chances for 3-0. Battering Tranmere.

 

[Cas]

Gave away an un-needed pen. Ridiculous. 3-1 to City. Should be about 6-1 tbh. Deserved the clean sheet. Disappointed.

 

[Trapdoor]

We've got Matt Jay!

 

[Conker]

Yeah I think it’s a tough relegation battle incoming for Mansfield, going to be a long slog to stay up.

 

[Conker]

We haven’t won in 14 games and that was the second fixture this season, this is absolutely disastrous.

We played well on Tuesday, and took the lead today against a Exeter side that played average at best so it was set up nicely and we still collapsed.

 

[kieran_vale]

Nice routine win, not the way Vale usually do it but that’s more than fine with me.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Got a bit nervy when the ref said five added but just put it to bed with great Jamma layoff to Aitchison.

 

[valefan16]

Great win. The form since Dazzler settled post game 5 he took over is title winning over 25 games. Need to keep this up!

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Sounds like a late sickener for Sutton after coming from two down with ten men. And a Scunthorpe win. Fair few surprises today.

 

[Indian Dan]

My God, that was awful from us. Bradford could have had another couple. Another absolute shit show at home from us.

 

[chipmunx]

Walsall 2 Barrow 2

a much better 2nd half from Barrow - but it looked like a 2nd Miller goal was going to give Walsall the win - but Josh Gordon nets a 96th minute equaliser.

 

[JaredSUFC]

I hate Football and Lisa Stansfield

 

[EricSabin]

Really really good win for us today at Tranmere. Tight first half but second half we absolutely blew them away and 5-0 wouldn’t have flattered us.

Limited Tranmere to 5 shots and rifled in 18 of our own, despite Tranmere having 60%+ possession of the ball. A win like that makes a statement considering Tranmere’s home record and the manner of the victory.

8 clean sheets in 14 now, level with Tranmere as joint best in the football league

 

[Cas]

Finished 3-1. Didn't see that coming after Tuesday night. Should have won more comfortably in my opinion. Some really good chances in the second half, particularly the one Cook should have buried. Really solid at the back too; Canavan made a big difference. Swindon reminded me of how we've played plenty of times this season with a lot of the ball but doing absolutely nothing with it.

Edit: Watched Robinson's goal again. Fantastic finish but I think he's offside

[denzel ecfc]

Well we were poor for 60 minutes, but the attacking changes worked. Had Jay, Nombe, Amond and Brown at the end. Really wore down their defence and Nombe should have scored two or three times in the end.
We keep going behind in games and battling back. Great stuff

 

[Soup Ladle]

That must have been a hell of a team talk from Dave Challinor in Hartlepools game.

Certainly was, changed to 532 and brought on Gary Liddle who was immense.

Amazing turnaround, we missed some good chances before Harrogate scored twice, two bad goals to give away. They then controlled the game until the half time switches.

3 goals in 7 minutes blow Harrogate away, Matty Daly's for the 3rd is an absolute pearler. He has serious quality that lad.

They never had a sniff after that. We look a good side at the minute. Play some really good stuff and Cullen is putting away the chances we missed earlier in the season.

Fantastic atmosphere yet again.

 

[Chris FGR]

3 cracking goals from us. Kane Wilson’s especially was top class. Another one destined for the Prem imo. Can’t be a better pair of wing backs at this level then Cadden and Wilson. Keeping them fit (and beyond January) is massive.

 

[Devon_Lad]

The better team won. The Mansfield commentators really were pricks though. Utterly clueless and even called us Grimsby during the first half.

 

[Essex2Wessex]

That was some fight. Fantastic performance from us, from pretty much every player, on every part of the pitch in the second half. Delighted to see Salford lose, both because they're Salford, and as they were pretty dirty in technique.

 

[Optimistic Poolie]

Could have been 2 or 3 up before Harrogate got their first then we fell apart until half time. Liddle coming on made an incredible difference to the defence and once we got our first back you just knew we were getting something from the game.

Don’t think it was. Our player was off the pitch so it was up to the ref to allow him back on.

Daly has the potential to be a seriously good player. Hope the loan deal is till the end of the season and not just January like Burey.

 

[Bottega Don]

We actually won a game of football, who would've thought it.

Cox almost cost us yet again with his horrendous subs and negative tactics. When we scored our second, we looked so comfortable. Crawley looked one of the poorest sides I have seen in a long time, we could've had a hatful if we'd have just kept our foot on the gas. Instead, Cox takes off our two most influential players and sits everyone back, letting Crawley back into the game.

Great to actually win though

Should never have been in the game, our game management is abysmal. Two corners, two goals. Pleased with the win but we need to learn.

 

[Soup Ladle]

I think it's Jan, not sure where Huddersfield are in the league but he was regularly on their bench last season. He's got quick feet, great vision and a low centre of gravity. Really showing his potential after a slow start.
