Not sure anyone stood out over 90 minutes, but one or two players certainly turned things around. I'm in heaven!

You only needed to put one option.

BROADBENT

Kovar. Not that I don't think Broadbent deserves a statue building but despite a couple of scary moments, Kovar kept us in it so he deserves more than zero votes at least.

Across the 90 it’s Kovar for me, kept us in it and wouldn’t have had the opportunity to stage the comeback without his saves.

Donohue also class.  Kovar deserved it but Broadbent stole it all.  You reddzz!

Happy for Kovar to make a couple of decent saves, kept us in the game and showed us he is capable, but without Broadbent’s performance, it would likely have been another defeat against those bastards in yellow and blue. Broadbent all the way for me.

Broadbent without a doubt but Kovars and Donahue both excellent today

I gave it to Kovar as well.re

Broadbent was obviously the diffrence and a worthy winner, but Kovar is more deserving of the recognition IMO

Really it should be kovar, but I can't not give it to Broadbent

Really should give it to Broadbent but he's shite and clearly not good enough for L1, let alone L2 so my vote goes to Kovar  :soapy tit wank:

For influence on the game, it’s Matt Smith again.

Cannot see how we will create anything unless he does it.

Brilliant for Broadbent, two fantastic interceptions and one good block from Grounds and thought Kovar was prettt accomplished.

Both Grants and Baudry I thought had poor games. Stevens also. Caddis wasnt great but tried to drive us forward.

Everyone else did well with Broadbent and Kovar doing brilliantly.

Tyler obviously deserves a special mention for the winner and still sniffing for that winner when time was running out.

Sheridan is a clown, needs to be sacked tonight.
Ffs professional football, important game and sticks a centre half up top.
Ffs I’m done with this shit.







On the other hand if Carlsberg did derby away Wins...;)

Nobody said he was shite, nobody said he didn't deserve to start over Grounds, a few said that Rob Hunt deserved to replace Baudry instead of Broadbent, that is all..  Jeez

It doesn't matter, it's the same old usual core few who come out and defend each other every time. It wouldn't matter what was posted. I could copy and paste RobT's HT assessment and those that said "agree Rob" etc. Would disagree with an identical post.

They prefer to disagree with someone based on a previous postings, regardless of the content. I keep seeing that on here.

Anyway, I'm not arguing with you. I know you are a decent bloke and I'm enjoying the win.

Don't understand the Kovar comments.

He made one good save and maybe 2 average ones. He could have done better with the goal and was nowhere for Taylor's miss.

He performed as an average L1 keeper should. Now that was a better performance than he has put in during other games. He was quicker to react today I thought.

However, one man changed the course of the game. A physical presence up top and everything he touched turned to goal(d).

Think it was due to there being no significant or highlighted fuck up that he could've been singled out for. So in the eyes of many a jump in improvement from what has been seen.

Bear in mind though that despite this he has been improving in recent weeks. I'd say bar a defensive team mistake that cost us a point v Lincoln, his last three games (inc today) have been a lot more stable.

Good save at near post before first, good save to his left as well. Good save point blank in the second half and was generally more assertive and commanding. Also his distribution was excellent and in second half he was constantly keeping the ball moving allowing us to build up pressure. It’s ok to say he had a good game when he actually has...

I get that, but he was nowhere near MotM

Take out the saves and we lose so it’s all relative.

Kovar’s distribution (passing, long kicks and throws) was superb today.

Easy to overlook but it makes such a difference.

Kovar had his best game for us but Broadbent changed the momentum completely.   From the moment he came on, and without touching the ball, he caused confusion in the pox forcing a couple of poor subs from Robinson.   He then won headers, tackles high up the pitch, created space and an outlet and scored at least one of the goals and if not scored created the other.

Without doubt a man of the match, supersub performance that will be remembered for years to come.

Massive credit to Sheridan for changing it too.  

Broadbent
Wherever you may be
You are the king of the west country
He’s 9 foot tall
And really fucking hard
And he beat Poxford in their own back yard

That is quite brilliant.

Broadbent. Impact!

Honourable mentions to Kovar and Matty Taylor for keeping us in the game.

Due to having mal-co-ordinated sausage fingers Jaiyesemi has my vote when I meant to vote for Broadbent!

Technically I thought Donohue was possibly our best player yesterday, I thought he was excellent on the ball. Kovar made some big saves when required as well so hats off. His kicking was exemplary also.

However you have to give it to big Tom. Sent up front to add physicality and to try and get the ball into the final third and showed a poachers instinct for the first goal and then a header forward that somehow beautifully ended up in the net in stoppage time. Finished off his cameo with a fantastic old school tackle in the 95th minute on the half way line. Showed more in 45 minutes as a striker than Pitman has all season.

Did Tyler really try and claim the 2nd as his?

Having watched it a few times there is no way he gets a touch on Broadbents header, thats TB's goal all day long. Yes it wouldn't have gone in without Tylers causing confusion in front of the clown but nobody else gets a touch.

Should be Broadbent credited with the goal and Smith with the assist!

Absolutely an assist without actually touching the ball, the immaculate assist!

Well, if Broadbents shite let's continue to put out shite side's every week.  ;D ;D

Can't remember the last time we had several names nominated for MOTM,  good to have something to disagree about other than who caused the the fuck up !!.

Shame we can't give an assist credit to Eastwood too. What a mess he made of that. Good man

And didn't Robinson do wonders for his confidence in his interview after the game!

Haven't heard it but I can well imagine it wasn't pretty

It wasn't good and basically said he has a decision to make. He also said our substitutes were better than theirs and that's what changed the game😁

Well at least he got SOMETHING right.

Forget about the goals, Broadbent deserved MOTM for THAT Monster tackle.  Not only was it a great tackle, it wound them up, the Oxford player gave a way a free kick because of it, the whole team kicked off and some bookings came from it - all this resulted in a waste of about 2 minutes time for them, exactly what we needed.

Looks a lot like Smith got a touch on it in this pic. Either way, without his intervention the goal isn't scored. Smith's goal for me but Broadbent MoM all the way (with mentions in dispatches for Kovar etc)

I know it doesn't matter but what on earth is their keeper doing trying to clear the ball with his feet? He is in the box so why not come and claim it with his hands?

What a calamity!

No idea, although possibly thought that if he went low with his hands he might wipe Smith out giving away a penalty, let be honest, who cares!

Absolute calamity.

Unfortunate photo for the defender  :)

Haha. They literally shit the bed.

Eastwood getting worse, Kovar getting better.  Keep going, both of you. :)
