22 points from last 9 games, same as Brum.  Then nearest are Charlton (20), Stockport (18), Wrexham (17).  Wycombe only 14 (but only lost 1 in last 10 and that was with 10 men at Brum).

Repeat that, and it would be down to the last game!

With Wrexham playing Wycombe too, then who knows.

We've halved the points gap between ourselves and second since Evatt's departure

Our lads all stood offside?

Hopefully 😁

One Nat Lofthouse, there’s only one Nat Lofthouse (you had to be there)

COYFWM 👏👏

God I love BWFC. What a day

Given a German word for weapons is Waffe, and the manager now has lots at his disposal, we now have the Waffen SS!

Excellent result that. It's been said already but first half we were great and should have been 3 up: Tomo should have shot, Forrester had a header from about 2 yards that deflected wide and a couple of crosses that just needed a striker to be in the middle to tap in.

Second half was a scrap and we've come out on top, so great stuff. Murphy deserves credit as he was better today, few wayward passes, but generally decent.

Despite Bowyer's comments at the end, given they "scored" a cheat goal they deserved fuck all.

[barrycowdrill]

I’d say Sheehan was pretty pivotal as well today too.. rather than nice to have 🤔 

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Wonder if there will be a bit more rotation come Tuesday. 

Forrester got a cut today, so that may be a concern.

Collins with a bit of a limp?

Desmond may get a rest perhaps. 

 

[tomski]

No one will want a rest on this current run. Whether Schumacher see’s it differently. I’m pretty sure he will.

There probably will be.

But the feeling now is whatever changes he makes  won’t make us weaker.

You could bring in Forino, Schon, Jones, Johnston, Lolos, Randal and we’d still look strong

Correct..

..and I think that’s what Evatt was hoping for last summer, a strong squad that could get us through all the injuries, game fatigue and loss of form!

Shame he lost the plot. But SS is showing what can be achieved with this squad 👏👏👏

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Shame he can't rotate strikers if they look a bit jaded.

Time for Lolos perhaps, if there is an injury, or CMG again.

What evidence did the ref have that their goal crossed the line, let alone the handball?

He fucking guessed it. Said at the time that there's no way an official saw that go over the line. Then after watching that replay, if he did see it go over the line then he saw him handball it. Guessed at it.

[Ani]

Is this a good time to say I used to work with that linesman 

He is a really nice bloke. The ref gave the goal not sure how. 

[Ani]

On our first goal you could hear shout for McAtee to leave the ball.

Tried to find out who the ref supports.

Can't find anything other than he resides in Devon.

Probably a utd fan.

Sheehan is easily a division above.

Liked the keeper's little shake of the head... a real sportsman's goal... "How the fk could I stop that? good on you pal"

We've had a few thundertwats this season.

Augurs well for the future with so many being a division above.

[desperado]

Their goal.

It definitely goes behind the line (we were right behind it)

But looking at footage now, it may go of his hand.

But there’s no way they are seeing that at the time 

[tomski]

Was defo handball. But agree with despo that it could not be seen. I don’t think this ref had an agenda like the fella on Tuesday 

[woolli]

If the handball couldnt be seen, how the fuck did he see it go over the line?
