That second half was ace!!

Sheehan is a fucking Rolls Royce, class that lad.

Mentally weak my arse.

I don't think folk saying some players and/or the team are mentally weak are talking about playing Crawley at home are they?

[desperado]

Crikey some of those in game comments look at bit awry now 🤣. 

Tutu no good on the left, no goals in this team, where’s the spirit gone, we're simply not good enough to do it anymore.

Osei-Tutu a proper winger !

Who knew !!

Criminal he was used as a so-called wing back for so long.

[gonzo]

Only watching a team like ours can create absolute limbs and carnage with 99th minute goal against ten men Crawley fucking Town in division 3

No different from winning at Old Trafford or scoring at The Allianz Arena. It was just the same.

That's what is watching our team is all about. 

We fucking love it 💙💙

Of course not, but we weren't coming back from 3-1 down under Evatt.

Loved it when their keeper booted it out when yet another of theirs went down nowhere near play.

And Gethin refused to throw it back to them.

Top stuff that, goes on way too much in games these days.

Fuck 'em 😁

SJM & Simon Coleman agree with you (as do I )  

[Zico]

"how shit must you be, we're winning 'arwayy'" 

The accent you could hear in the song really grated

Aged well that 😁.

Although I'm sure @L/H White is made up with the outcome.

 

Yeah, tbh 2 goals from defenders & a OG wasn't in the script 

Great game 

Point stands, need reinforcements at the top of the pitch bar Collins were limited

No but today showed they do have the mental strength after being 1-3 down

Not knocking you Kent, we all see things differently and I know you’re not one that will just pile in for the sake of it, but we spent the whole of that second half just saying “give it to Sheehan” - whenever he’s got it he makes something happen. Even in the first half when he was less effective, he put about 3 or 4 inch perfect diagonals over their left back to get JDC in.

I’m liking more and more the idea of getting him further forward, let Morley and Matete/GT do the donkey work behind and let him impact the game where he’s at his best. Problem is, it puts him into the space where we already have Randall (who was awful today), Lolos, McAtee and you could argue a few others. Still think he’s our best midfielder though so you play him where he’s most effective and then work the rest out.

Must have said half a dozen times over the last year that when Sheehan is allowed to operate exclusively in their half he can change games. Evatt was too thick or pig headed to ever consider trying it, even when our form had gone to rat shit.

SS dropping Morley back in that raft of changes, plus them dropping further back, allowed Sheehan to buzz around in their third and cause a lot to happen. He started his goal with a great interception then carried on into the box to get on the end of the play. 

He should be in the most forward midfield position, with whoever out of Morley, Matete and GT behind him. We never needed Randall. 

[Mounts Kipper]

Schumacher always dug out results that season when he was at Plymouth, the 4 subs at one was superb!! As was the switch to 3 at the back. Wasn’t feeling it today only my lad persuading me to go swung it.

Their manager whining, 'you cant allow a quick free kick when there's a man down with a serious head injury', the same player that was up like the shot of a gun, and would have given Usain Bolt a run for his money chasing down the ref 🤣🤣, very serious 🤣, Priceless!!

Like I said earlier. I'm half blind so happy to be proved wrong on the replay 😁

I used to say he was useless when he won players player of the year as well so I wouldn't attach to much credence to anything I say! 

[CambridgeBWFC]

Refreshing to hear the manager say he set up to nullify their passing out from the back and nullify the possession game they like to play.

[Walkden White]

Well that’s a good way to win a match. The shithousery from Crawley was off the scale. 
 

We can analyse our defending for their 3 goals and I’m sure we will but the finishing was top class.

Want a manager to change things in game….looks like we got one

I haven't seen any of the game, listened to commentary only. Looking forward to watching the game on line tomorrow.

How was Shooey reacting to all of the shithousery? I know our previous lunatic would be out there shouting, scowling, jumping around, head butting and arguing the toss 

[desperado]

Amazing today.

We’ve got Bolton Wanderers back.

Made me laugh how we’ve watched 5-3-2 for 3 years and today we must have seen  4 different formations in one game 😂

[Cheese]

I don't know why, but I like that he's switched us back to the original Home dugout. Hope he sorts out the pre-kick off music next. That medley thing has been fucking shite from day one of the season.

[DaveTheRave]

Both teams got exactly what they deserved today. We won and they lost. There's shithousery and then there's what they did today. 

Was great to see us come back and get three points. Tutu messed up a bit waiting for the ball for their first but had a great game on the wing. They couldn't handle him. Man Of the match for me.

[Duck Egg]

What a great afternoon. I can't be arsed fretting about faults in the performance after such an exciting game and triumphant finish.

On the beers now and already raised a glass to those numpties in the north lower who left on 66 minutes when we were 1-3 down!

Fair play to the ref, did everything he could to cut down on time wasting. When 12 mins went up they knew they were done.

Vic, Lolos and Jones did more than Randall, Mcatee and Schon and deserve a start next week.

Tutu and Sheehan showed the kind of fight and determination that's been missing since oxford. More of that please.

We all see it differently, my impression was that Lolos was worse than Randall, nothing seemed to come off, and Vic - did he touch the ball?  He had an entertaining argument with the keeper, that was it wasn't it?  Someone's going to say we always win when he plays.

Was as calm and measured as I remember him being for Plymouth, didn't get involved in all the ridiculous shenanigans and focused on how to pull the game back our way. Their lad Elliott was like Evatt on steroids for the full 100+ minutes
