Agree on Dalby, MOM easily.  He's a strange CF in that I can't ever remember him having a "shot", all his efforts at goal are close to goal, using the pace of the ball coming to him and just making contact.  I can't remember him pulling his foot back and striking through the ball, once.  Compared to say Burstow who likes to pull the trigger from 20 yards if he can get the space.  I wonder if Dalby would even take a pen in a shoot out!

Disagree on Burton, not sure how they were anti-football?  Stevenage were anti-football - every throw in our half launched into the box, every challenge a foul, no passing it in their own half.  Burton the total opposite, not a shithouse team in the slightest and played some good stuff.  There wasn't even a low block, the opposition have to stand somewhere, it was hardly a block of any description, we just made it look like one at times by over playing at the back.

Aye fair point I've probably stereotyped them a bit there based on last few seasons.

Cant have been more than 13K on .

10k max for me. Normally the east lower saves it but christ it looked half empty, even crazy corner.

Reasonable numbers in East Upper where I was but, looking around, it looked like that night v Charlton last season when there was a boycott of sorts, 11 or 12k maybe. 

Getting away up Chorley New Rd was a doddle

Certainly not more than 13k on , but heyho you pays your money etc.

Move for winning goal was top notch unlike anything that happened before it even Cissoko’s reverse pass to Tutu was perfection !

Really good move especially so late on . 

 

Devils Advocate , Cissoko at 22 has time to come good , definitely needs to pack it in with the pointless step overs tho .

He did well when he came on, in a kind of chaotic way

He played a great reverse pass for the winner

Not for the first time this season, we had a winger draw a booking for a full back and then didn’t bother taking them on again for the rest of the game.

And even the 10k or whatever that turned up is inflated by us all having S/Ts.  It was never the case till we moved to an all seater stadium, that nearly every regular fan got a ST.  Most just paid on the day, if we'd had to pay £25 or whatever on Tuesday, it would probably have been back to the 5 or 6k we used to get at Burnden in the dark days.  The difference between a Saturday and midweek turnout is massive, that was never a thing at Burnden, if we had a Tuesday game it would only be marginally down on the equivalent game on a Saturday.  But because they don't publish real crowds, we get fed the line that crowds have hugely increased, and yes of course they've improved visibly at weekends, but overall not by anything like the numbers claimed.
