We could have been 2 down early on but for TSL.

All’s well that ends well and all that.

I think Cozier-Duberry should get into the England World Cup squad

[Matt Lofthouse]

Loved today, not only because of our result/performance and all the other results going our way, but that was only  my oldest daughters 2nd game watching us. She’s just never really taken to it, but today she was hooked and that was some much needed one on one time together that we needed. That’s 3 I’ve made that are now fully on board. Job done 😊

Great having demps back, keep him fit and he can be the difference of an automatic position instead of the playoff positions. I seriously can’t do another playoff. ACD another level yet again, such a positive player love watching him.

COYWM up the football league we go.

Down the Middlebrook Uncle Albert ? ☺

We were poor for the fist 25 mins and could well have conceded. Confidence grew after the 1st goal.

Sissoko must be a nightmare to play against, however for all his entertaining trickery, he's not great at kicking the ball.

All good across the back. Sheehan grew into the game and bossed it in the end. ADC is a joy at this level. He will not play in div 1 next year.

As others have said, dempsey was the polar opposite of what Randall serves up. Everyone has seen enough of JR to know that he hasn't got what it takes.

We have a deep squad and healthy competition in several positions.

We were purring for the last 30 mins or so. Confidence is high. Happy days!

[marple whites]

Defence and goalie really good, cissoko had a decent game and as for duberry….

we would have lost that game last year, but digging in for the first half hour, taking over and then some great attacking goals.

subs coming on that don’t reduce the level and give the opponents different things to think about.

bradford should be a cracker 

[1969]

As others have said, first 25 minutes P.V were the better side, but after the 1st goal it was men against boys.For 65 minutes I thought every player played their part.

Dubbery is just a cheat code.

Asked my lad as he was going off, would he rather have ACD or Bradley already knowing the impact he had for us 

I didn’t think any loan player would have the same if not better effect on the team that Bradley did but ACD does for me. 
 

the goals and assists and how fundamental he is to us at the minute is beyond what I expected

So flexible and twisty he should be Rubbery Dubbery

Second save was decent. First was routine

[worthy10]

Very tight league ATM, but there are no stand out big clubs, i.e Birmingham and Wrexham with their money.

We are now 3/1 favs to win the thing. Going up thus season is a must!

Yes i have no doubt about that....I  am never a sheep i say what i think

All positive tonight but looking back on those 5 1-1’ draws. At least they weren’t losses and kept momentum, but for a couple of wins in them and we really are swinging dicks. Will put it down to the overhaul of the squad which was always going to take time to settle in the first 10 games. Safe to say we’ve settled the last few games.

Away form (and defending) is still a concern for me

It was said the season before last it was a weak league and we should get out of it, however that played out this is weaker, a real hotch potch.

It's there for us for sure if we can keep ACD and Burstow for the full season and neither gets a significant injury 

[miamiwhite]

Today was a bit of a banana skin to be honest, and I half expected us to draw or lose, but the display was decent after a shaky start, signs of confidence in the squad and togetherness, we're getting the winning mentality now, whilst early pacesetters are starting to slip and show fragility in their sides/weaker squads

Get a couple more quality additions in when the window opens, then we are going up, we are going up as champions

Absolutely nothing to fear or hold us back in this division 

When we move up, we won't struggle if we have funds and further additions, we'll go up again

Enjoy it while we can

[Dr. Feelgood]

I'm planning a crowd fund to buy ACD when we go up.
