Certainly ran away from their defence very easily and finished with aplomb.

Thought there were shades on Didzy in his play in the 2nd half. Coming a bit deeper to demand the ball in the inside left channel. He’s a class signing in L1.

I’ve always thought that Sibs would be better accepting that his place in the team under PW is mostly that of LWB, rather than his coveted AM role. It would give him a good run in the team which to be fair, if he’s on his way in summer brings him to the attention of potential suitors (who may see his goal contributions more favourably). Or he earns a new contract here in Summer. FWIW I think he’ll be gone at the end of the season, whichever division we’re in.

I thought Nels was fairly sluggish all afternoon. Probably his least effective game for us.

TURNING!!

Agreed. PV were all over the place at the back and ripe for tilling over, but we let them off the hook until the excellent work down the right and great finish by Gayle. Then again we didn’t really come out again after half-time. We really could’ve and should’ve had a hat full but a win is a win.

I’d start CBT. Show some confidence in the lad. No easy games from now until the end of the season, so might as well stick him in against a team low on confidence. Replace with Barks after half-time if he’s blowin’! Wildsmith (only by virtue of JV being unavailable) Smith Nels Cash Sibs Wilson. Adams CBT Bird NML Gayle Subs Loach, Bradley, Ward, Hourihane, Thommo, Barks. Waggy. Sibs will have to be disciplined in defending. He can do it if he concentrates for 90 minutes!

It’s so no-one will know when we 💩 ourselves again next February! 😆

2-1 Frgs Gayle

Looked completely nonplussed to a man after Nyambe was forced off!

It wasn’t one mistake though. He’d made some poor decisions and distributed the poor poorly in the previous 3-4 games.

I don’t think. I let’s dis too much wrong. Not as commanding coming for crosses as Wildsmith. It a good shot-stopper and more lively with his distribution.

Yep! Tomorrow morning you’ll be in Birmingham!

The standard of football and officiating is truly appalling, though not to wholly blame the referee for our ineptitude once again this evening. It’s terrible that our focus has become catching teams on the break and set pieces - not withstanding Cash’s excellent finish tonight, we were otherwise clueless!

Caught on his heels again!

He was dropped because of a run of sub-par performances and a lack of composure in the 2nd minute of the Oxford game. It doesn’t appear he’s learned a great deal on reflection!

2-1 CBT has a worldly. Gayle starts and occupies their defence for Bird to be FRGS. Waggy comes on to win it 2nd half.

For all of the above I can’t remember us winning a second ball in the whole match.

We got in on the 12.38 and headed straight to ‘spoons to be told “home fans only, mate”. Plan was to stay for a later train but was ready to get home, so we left straight after.
