massive game this Saturday. Hoping for a really good performance (4-0) to get us very much in the driving seat 

Thank fuck for that, any win will do though 

Dempsey and Williams both injured?

Oooft that was tense but will do. Great defending, poor finishing from Cheltenham.

Need more creativity on Saturday.

This should be a massive wake up call

We can call the officials but that was so off the pace and Cheltenham can count themselves unlucky

Big 3 points 

Well I don’t know how we did it but who cares 3 more points in the bag. You have to feel a bit sorry for Cheltenham, they gave it everything and truth be told didn’t deserve to lose.

It's all about the results at this point, not performances

We ground it out despite being far from our best. Job done.

A win is a win as they say, but again, that wasn’t promotion form and something will have to change to get us back on track.

what, who or how I don’t know - but I do know when.

Need to bring in some quality or we’re not going up

Fuck knows how we won that

But I'll  take 3 points it every day of the week.

Winning is promotion form!!

Yes it was ugly, we rode our luck, but we all know we were far, far from our best. But when all is said and done we have the maximum amount of points we can from the game

Dempsey one didn’t look great. Pulled out of taking the follow up shot and looked like he was holding his hamstring. Hopefully not Dan #2.

Santos and especially toal look scared to death, and not sure why toal can not suddenly pass water, the lad needs to sort out this sticky patch.

Was never gonna be a game for the purist, never is against this lot,  3 points is what matters.

Onwards and upwards

Toal, Santos and Iredale didn’t look comfortable together all night. Forrester a big miss. 

A win is a win. We have won the most games in the league so I’ll take that.

Excellent

lets finish this off 

Shock result that, I fully expected Derby to pull it back. Barnsley on the rise again now though.

Just got back( had to leave a bit early due early start I morning) that was a struggle.1st half thought we got better as it went on.

2nd half thought we was to cautious Santos for me had a shocker and every time he fucked up tried to blame someone else 

Mom between Vic and baxter

Not sure what was worse, the game, the weather or them expecting people to believe there was 19k on? 
 

yep a wins a win but at what cost now? Injuries could be mounting, performance levels not great and some big challenges and a hectic schedule continuing. We’re looking a bit thin on the ground 

They are the wins that define seasons.

Neither team could string two passes together in the middle of 50mph winds that was bending the corner flag to the floor.

We will look back on tonight and think that was the kick up the arse we needed.

Sometimes youve got to ride your luck and win ugly.

It doesnt get much uglier than that.

We are missing Jones, and Toal isn't quite as comfortable on the right as everyone thought he would be. Maybe just needs time to settle in to that position again.

Think the defence alway nervous in conditions like that, you just don't know what the ball will do in the air. Baxter also wasn't as commanding causing some confusion. 

Tough conditions, not the best performance but 3 points, this is good.

 

After watching that performance and at the weekend, I just think we're crying out for some additions to the squad.

Got a lot of games to come and games in hand, and the players do look tired but more panicky and scared. 

We need someone to come in fresh iyo inject some energy into yhe team and make a impact where we need it.

Very unconvincing and it feels like we're running on empty but we got over the line

Reading's win is real bonus

Take the 3 points but Cheltenham must be feeling hard done by as they give us a game . 
Squad needs refreshing especially if Dempsey is out for a while we miss Gethin in defence his calmness under pressure.

Aye. That’s my take on it. 3 points. Wins like that get you up and out of a league. 

As of tonight's result, no other club in the league has won as many matches as we have this season
