Old Spalding Ram

I still think that if it’s three at the back then Wilson & Sibley have to be the wing backs.
I still think that if it’s a back four then Nyambe, Nelson, Cashin & Elder start.
I still think that if you include Blackett-Taylor then you have to play a front three.
I still think that it should be a midfield three of Adams Smith & Bird at Barnsley.
I still think that while we’re winning………………….sod it! 👍😁
 

One of the best games of football on the worst of surfaces that I've ever seen, even though we lost. The talent on display in both teams was phenomenal. Loads of crowd trouble inside and outside the ground too - a typical 70s local 'derby' of sorts.

Oh I don’t know……..reckon it’s got a bit of a way to go yet! 👍😁
 
 

Pinched from the Stevenage forum……..sure was a big day out for em! 👍
It is actually seventh (I missed the FAT final against York when posting from the car - that was 47 more than today). Second largest league attendance.

Trophy final vs Kiddy = 53,262.
Newcastle FA Cup = 36,705.
Spurs FA Cup = 35,757.
Villa FA Cup = 32,343.
Sheff Utd (normal league game in first season) = 30,043.
FA Trophy final vs York = 27,102.
Today = 27,055.

Excellent. A vital 3 points. For me it's a win despite of rather than because of the manager, but at least we got over the line. Sibley should have been on the field 81 minutes earlier, but at least he was finally brought on with a whole 9 minutes to score the goal. Come on you Rams!

Anyone got any ketchup?

Lies, damn lies and statistics...
You can twist them to prove anything....
I could equally use them to prove he's exactly what we need.... errr.. I just choose not to.

………………I’d rather stick Fozzy up front! 👍😁

Busy week here.  Completely missed this game, and not even had chance to do anything more than a very brief speed-read of this thread.
 
...Just got around to watching the 8min highlight vid... No way did we deserve to win that... They even hit the post, FFS!  👀 🙄
 
Ha!  A nice steady strike from Max for the first.  Not spectacular by any means, but it's still a good 22/23 yards with 5 striped shirts and a keeper twixt him and the goal.  Thumbs up from me.
I'm gonna give Max the benefit of the doubt, and assume he knew where NML was (Or where he should be? 🤷‍♂️) for his delightful little triple reverse blind lobdink, and I adored NML's deft touch with his bonce, to set himself onwards and goalwards.  Good touch, good run, and clinically finished.  Only a cheeky little dink over the keeper could have bettered that... but I ain't complaining!  My favourite of the highlight reel.
As for the 3rd, I've always had a bit of a soft spot for coming inside, and curling one in from one corner of the box to the far post, around and beyond what is always an overstretched keeper.  Beautiful!
I'm sure I scored one just like that v @Henrycav81 in '77 (He always ended up in goal for some reason, can't remember why! 👀) #lastpick.
 
Only seen 8mins, but hell yeah... we so deserved that!
