Saturday 25th November

[The Jovial Forester]

Started bright but didn't make much of the chances, Omotoye a bit off it and Deeney letting him know which can't help. And he missed a good headed chance himself. Then Walsall grew into it and came close a couple of times, one took a great save from Belshaw. Also had a strong pen shout waved away, one of ours had a hand out, can only think ref thought it was ball to hand but he was a yard or two away. We came on again late but Walsall defending much better than we do.
All to play for in the second 45 Brian.

Don't think we quite deserved to be 3-0 up really, couple of scrappy goals and Morecambe were looking dangerous and it felt like we needed that third goal to gain proper control and we've totally dominated it since and Morecambe look done. A great goal from Mendy.

1-0 down at HT at Colchester - but all hell's broken out right on HT. Robbie Gotts was on the receiving end of a bad foul in the box that the ref (Declan Bourne) ignored. Gotts has been stretchered off and been taken straight to hospital. Pete Wild has been sent off for protesting about it.

 

[Who Needs Mourinho]

We’ve been utter toilet.

So had Newport until they caught us with free-kick on the stroke of HT.

1-1 Dom Telford

1-1 Dom Telford

or George Ray - confusion reigns
might even be a Greenidge OG

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Og according to Sky

 

[GTFCfish]

Our new gaffer needs to be a miracle worker, second half we’ve been completely dominated by bottom of the league. Lucky to hang on for a point here.

 

[Master D]

Mullin officially back to full fitness, that hat-trick goal was vintage.

 

[chipmunx]

Colchester 1 Barrow 2 George Ray scores about 2 mins after Colchester went down to 10 men (Fevrier 2 yellows)

 

[chipmunx]

Colchester 1 Barrow 3.... George Ray again!!!!!!

 

[Conker]

Clough decided to put Flint upfront to go for the win and it’s backfired with Swindon scoring a stoppage time winner. First loss of the season was always going to happen but the circumstances is a bit of a sickener.

A point was a fair result, but they had a chance and took it, in the last 15 we had a few to win it but was not to be.

 

[chipmunx]

Colchester 1 Barrow 4 OG

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Haven’t seen the goals, but if George Ray has scored a hat-trick then there must be some kind of match-fixing going on.

 

[Master D]

We've had worse days.

 

[Gunit]

Another point, unbeaten in 4 but 3 draws and all those games playing sides just above us. Improving but leaving ourselves a lot to do.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Second half scrappy, Walsall the better of the two sides but neither really pushing for the win. Did need another good Belshaw save, their keeper had a few easier things to stop. Bit of handbags over nothing around full time was about the most lively it got.

 

[Chris FGR]

A top quality game between two top class free flowing attacking sides. Said no one.

We look every bit relegation fodder, would snap your arm off for 22nd if offered it now. Tuesday is massive, don't win that and Horseman needs to be sacked along with Carey and Deeney.

 

[Spanishstag]

The run had to end somewhere ,thought this would be our undoing we move on

 

[WilsdenBantam]

We actually won, much needed as well. Closer to the playoffs than drop, what a team…

We had a bright start but did nothing with it while it briefly lasted. Could do without Troy moaning at Omotoye all the time too, can't be helping.

 

[Chris FGR]

Deeney seems to spend more time moaning at Ty then he does actually doing anything worthwhile on the pitch.

2 points from Tranmere, Grimsby & Walsall, after Tuesday we have some tough fixtures in December. We are going to get cut adrift if we aren't very careful.

 

[BarraMatt]

Incredible second half, didn't see that coming considering everything was going against us before that.

 

[Wootball]

A win against Doncaster today where a draw was probably the fair result. The opening 35 minutes of both halves we were crap, and then just clinical when we got chances. The plus side is, we've got a side that can play below par and win, and they never ever know when to stop - back to back games we've scored injury time winners and it's a good feeling!

Got to feel for the Doncaster fans - they battled hard and had us on the ropes, then just seemed to lose any ability in the last ten minutes of both halves. Weird.

You looked decent second half at our place tbf.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

We still remain a side who can only play well for one half. Even start first 20 mins, Dons started better but then we looked comfortable before gift No.1 from a player who is never L2 quality. Looked a pen to me. After that all the home side and very lucky to only be 2-0 down at half time thanks to a good save and missed chances. Another aided goal from Notts.

Strange Luke clearly did his work as we started the second half very well , clear handball not given and missed a good chance before Wimbledon gifted us a goal which Langstaff accepted and scored.
Then we score from a short corner with a lovely control, turn and finish from Nemane who along with Crowley were electric in that second half and gave the left hand side a nightmare. The home side went hugely into their shell.

Great save from Bass to stop us and Langstaff scoring.

Then we give a needless corner away, panic , and give a stonewall penalty away when well on top. Gift.

4th was another gift this time from Austin, after we did bulk subs that never works.

Typical Notts, can look great , play some lovely stuff , but always look like conceding against a clearly talented Wimbledon side and the replacements to key players are a huge drop off

Al-Hamadi was superb throughout a complete nightmare. Never seen him play before and was very impressed.

Entertaining game.

Great pre match pub with both sets of fans in the Leather Bottle. Nice new stadium, great away end and good noise from that section.

Good day bar the result.

 

[Casey]

We won.!

Couldn't make the game today. Daughter's birthday. Most possession least shots.

[TheEndIsNigh]

It’s a good job we’ve got some decent attacking players cos our defence and keeper are strictly non league. Fuckin Jake Reeves scoring twice, what a load of toss.

 

[Who Needs Mourinho]

Got what we deserved today.

The run had to come to an end eventually but the biggest blow is losing Collar to an injury in stoppage time.

Three of our fantastic midfield four will now be missing on Tuesday so I’m expecting more dropped points.

Only good news were Notts and Mansfield didn’t make up any ground.

 

[dan_wrexhamafc]

Wasnt sure what to expect today with them being without a manager, think it really made a difference.
Much better the last week but we've played better and not won this season, Morecambe were shocking.

Played some decent passing football at times, some lovely goals. Only blight on the game, Forde going off, another defensive injury, both RWB gone again
