On a side note can’t be many brighter set of kits on display that tonight! Yellow against their fluorescent green!

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Was his shoulder by the looks of the replay on ifollow.

Ah, someone on our forum reckoned throat. I just presumed it would be the family jewels he's chucking up. Looks like he's not out second half. ETA No, scrub that, he's coming on.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

My only hope is you've puffed yourselves out pressing well.

 

[kieran_vale]

Bit of pressure from FGR now. Just need to try and see through the next 15 minutes or so.

 

[Dave-Vale]

Fucking hell Kettle is awful.

 

[Bottega Don]

Wow the game is so alike the ones under Hurst. Cambridge haven't entered our half in the second half and they score a second on their first attack. Game over.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Christ, get a free kick in a good area and Winnie just skies it. No way back here.

 

[Gladders]

Charles Verman is a bloody genius

 

[The_Boss]

We're trying to play far too much tidy football for this weather. Need 2 men up front to make the most of having the wind behind now. No chance of us getting anything from this game now so need to hope Bradford help us out and finish Stevenage off.

Aye that was pretty dreadful. Fuck knows how many fouls that is Kettle has given against us now.

Twenty one with that apparently, but no cards, so he doesn't know if he thinks you're dirty or not.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

My stream died for that too. Sums my night up

 

[kieran_vale]

3-0 Pope, can call that game over I reckon. Pretty nailed on penalty that not even Kettle could get wrong.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Yeah, just came back online to hear our commentators say definite pen.

 

[The_Boss]

We've been completely clueless tonight.

 

[Dave-Vale]

Game over.

Great work by Mitch Clark to win the penalty. What a player he could turn out to be for us. Hopefully we can sign him permanently over the summer because he looks even better than he did when we had him last season.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Is it Worrell your lad too? He's looked good for you as well, always first to a 50-50.

 

[kieran_vale]

He's been player of the year for us. Has incredible energy and most of the good things we do go through him.

And as we speak FGR have a penalty.

 

[Dave-Vale]

Is it Worrell your lad too? He's looked good for you as well, always first to a 50-50.

Yeah. He never stops running.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Stream died for our consolation too.

 

[kieran_vale]

Ah well was hoping we could have got another clean sheet. Need just try and slow it down for the next few minutes.

Great to see Manny come on now, been a while.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Centre back's effort there.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Suddenly gone card happy. What a performance from Kettle.

 

[kieran_vale]

One of the greatest things Askey has done in his time at Vale is improve the fitness of the team beyond all recognition. Everyone in the team just keep on running for the full 90.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Mind that was a stupid tackle and deserved the red.

 

[kieran_vale]

Daft from Mitch that, didn't need to do it in that part of the pitch.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Exactly, why even bother all the way up there?

 

[Dave-Vale]

Kettle has been desperate send somebody off. It’s a stupid tackle but I don’t think it looked overly dangerous. His feet weren’t off the ground. You see yellows given for those types of tackles all the time.

 

[Gladders]

Very good win that, Colchester were no mugs.

Really going to enjoy watching the rest of the season now Holloway has got us playing good attacking football. Yes we may lose more than we win but it's far more enjoyable to watch than the crappy hoofball from the first half of the season.

Can't wait for next season either when he's signed players who can play to his style as well.

Verman is a different man under Ollie, and Glennon is a great signing. I though Gibson was a very good left back for us, one of our better players this season and disappointed we didn't try and get him back but Glennon is actually even better.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

And now a good goal when it's far too late. Jesus.
