Our team played for 90 mins
The youth were great though jonjo looked lost out wide when he came on
Mootoo and bailey were tackling like mad men
Fortune composed at the back along with hudson who i thought didn't put a foot wrong all night
Randolph made a match winning save in the second half and his kicking and throwing was spot on
Burton ran his socks off but to no effect
Kinsella, fortune and mootoo were going mad at the final whistle in with the crowd tops off and all that
The goal was well worked and well done dazza for putting it away so well (thank god it wasn't burton put through)
Fans well i think there was about 300-400 and surprised how vocal we were but not at the end when a hearty V F R was sung and my voice finally gave out
Stewards were an absolute joke 'again' they were trying to tell people to stop pointing WTF my flag went from being a fire hazard to a trip hazard
Still buzzing though and well worth the trip sorry it cant be more detailed it wasn't a classic but a good honest display and a battling performance that we were in control of for once right till the end.

Don't get me wrong, the team played well as a unit and as mentioned both the midfield and the defence worked their socks off - Hudon was emense and towards the end Bailey put in 2 or 3 crucial tackles, but my major cocern is still up front.
Burton hardly touched the ball and in 90 mins never looked like scoring. Parky's only tactic was to defend a 1-0 lead and he had no thought of trying to get a 2nd goal. In most other games we would have lost (as usual this season) by 2 or 3 and only won because Norwich were worse than us. Expect to see Roedor gone by the end of the month and they are only above us because of Lita and now he has gone expect to see them slide down the table.
"if we play like that on Saturday I'd expect to get beat". Golfie we have played better in loads of games and got beat
"In most other games we would have lost (as usual this season) by 2 or 3 and only won because Norwich were worse than us" how many games have we lost where we were not the worst team they were, how many times has poor finishing and 1 error at the back cost us.
Now hats off to you mate for going i think you deserve a medal a really do, You deserve the win more than most for your continual support.
But the players were bound to be nervy the commentry remarked on the excellent closing down from midfield and the resiliance of the back 4 and how well they played as a unit
cheer up mate you have seen the result that may just change our season we go to Sheff Wed with hope and it is not the worst place to go to try to continue the result and get out of shit
enjoy it forget about the negatives it has been a long time coming
nla..you're waisting your breath mate!!
we are winners again at last
whoooooppppppeeeeee
FOR F**** SAKE GOLFIE TALK ABOUT RAIN ON A PARADE
We needed a win and got it and who gives a flying toss if we got it playing negatively.
C'MON YOU REDS
Also for those of you knocking Golfie, be fair to him at least he went and he's only being honest. He did say he echoed most of the first post which was a positive post. I guess the point he's trying to make is although we're all happy at the win, try not to get too carried away as Norwich are a pretty awful side.
Yassin B-)
Shame he will be dropped for Murty who will only play another 5 games for us
Which is a very fair point to make.
I view Norwich as currently how we were around the Barnsley game. Lets hope they follow it up with a two month run like we did !
Wagstaff looked a bit raw still but that is another game under his belt. He linked up quite well with Moots. Like all of the yougsters Waggy also appeared to run out of steam around the 60 minute mark which is why he got taken off I suspect.
Fair points, but remember, even a 1000 mile journey starts with only 1 step
if you can not find positives in the fact that we won,
i would take playing shit and winning the next half a dozen games it is not always about the level of performance
To be honest its not the best written post ive done, or the most comprehensive, but it was late, i was a little drunk and its always nice to read a fans point of view who were at the game i feel, weather u agree with wot they write or not.
The most important thing for me was that we kept it together for 90+ mins, and i said to my mate that normally at the end i've just been praying that we hold on, but last night i was actually quite confidant we would see it through which says a lot i think.......
On a lighter note my throat is killing me, i sound like barry white!!
Onwards and Upwards ;-)
Yeah, that was a weird feeling for me. With 5 minutes to go, I thought that I couldn't see us losing this, then I remembered we hadn't won since the war.
Was a very weird feeling indeed!?
But it's just as much part of the game to defend well.
Ask any manager.
that's nice to hear
i'm still smiling
C'MON YOU REDSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
Its all about grinding out results now and having that bit of luck aswell ofcoarse, free flowing football can wait till next year....
let's hope this win leads on to better things but i wouldn't bet on it
Yeah it was great KB, really really great.......... and i too cant stop smiling, a young lad got one of the shirts, he'll tresure that im sure, could'nt get close enough to the front wot with the stewards getting in the bloody way but i was as high as a kite i can tell ya!!
