The thing with a game like Saturday is that it would have been easy for us to over commit & chase a second goal, make a mistake and give away a sloppy goal.
We didn't do that, stayed patient & eventually got the second goal.
One other thing, I don't know about anyone else but most of the crowd around us in the DRS were patient too, can't recall many shouts of "get it forward" and lots of appreciation for the players keeping the ball.
Maybe the 500 or so missing fans are those that want us to play a more hoof game & are vocal about it.

Nah. The missing fans were just away for Bank Holiday.
There will be between 9 and 10,000 Saturday

We played well against poor opposition. It was a shame the deliveries from the wings weren't up to much but the central pairing in midfield more than made up for it.
61% possession, 12 shots and 8 on target vs. 1 shot not on target for them. We worked some good moves and did play some direct balls. It was only a bit dull because it was so one-sided.

Has anyone else noticed how more comfortable we look at the back with possession now Ward isn't in the side? Branco isn't particularly assured but Turnbull, Thompson and Lelan to an extent can turn without taking 20 seconds to do it and pass it confidently. We've looked to move it forward with a bit more intent in the two home games so far instead of passing it across the back three/four/five

Who the fuck is this Michael Reeves who appears to have taken over from Sam as STFC reporter on the Adver? Wouldn't believe anything he says as he believes Dany N'Guessan is forming a decent partnership with Willo and gave him a rating of 6 fro the game!! Obviously colour blind!!! Anybody know where Dany is now?

I suspect some poor sod who was told on Friday at 5:30 he was covering the Town game. |

2 league goals in 3 years...hasn't played a game for 18 months. Maybe you're mixing him up with the other BHA, Will (Buckley) |

Nah, Hoskins is the Brighton player, ex Rovers too, has been plagued with injuries.
Would tear up L2 if ever fit. Big if, too.

He would have been a decent signing if he wasnt permanently on crutches.

Yeah cost 2 mill+....I don't really get how Tans and PlymRed think Hoskins could be anyway good enough for us. The scum have scored 1 pen in 4 games are bottom of the table, so have to take a punt on someone without a club....we, despite our problems are in a bit better shape. |

Still better than Barker George may yet surprise us...no management/scouts/DoFs get them all right, but so far our lot haven't done too badly. |
