That's what football is about. Yes the ref was dodgy, yes it isn't pretty though there are moments.
But a 98th minute winner turned our Christmas haul from meh to good. 3 though games that
Moreover we are now playing for points not style stats.
Brilliant.

Did Payne somehow send his boot to the arkells roof after the game? Saw a post on twitter but can't see how that's possible!

Only seen one off in League 1 so far?
Apologies chaps, Grandson had got hold of my phone and scrolled the fixtures across to the 11th January. Sorry if I confused you, but great result today - had virtually given up on the game after 80 minutes. Still buzzing. |

Swindon v Colchester has never, ever been a remotely exciting fixture ever.
Why on earth anyone would want to put that on TV god only knows…
Because they knew it was going to be a cracker. 💥💥💥 |

Had to follow on the Townend only today.
Even so that was proving quite emotional.
Was naturally cautious about the good start and then gutted by the soft pen and then the calamitous stolen pen As someone commented (but not Holloway or the players!) we're not good enough at the moment to overcome poor decisions. I concurred.
We can clash in our opinions and especially in hard times, as now. But I was angry with YOU Processed Beats as I felt you were trolling at a time when we are struggling. On an afternoon when, through no fault of our own, we were all hurt by what was unfolding. It's fcuking annoying to take that from one of our own.
Others might chant at us "You're not very good" but the spirit and pride and drive presently being shown on the pitch by the squad, supported by the crowd and encouraged by Holloway is special in its way. The Gods did finally smile on us today but we kinda deserved it.

I think Holloway has that something special about that most managers dont - probably last time we saw that was in Di Canio. Not everyone’s cup of tea but long may it continue

Didn’t Tishy Manga score a last gasp winner in that FA Cup tie as well? They must be well sick of us. |

Emphatic? Do they mean dramatic?

So much to enjoy about a win like that. Credit to the players - who got stuck in and forced the result, and credit it where it’s due to Holloway too. We’re turning the corner here.
In a way, that’s the best kind of win. 3 points, a late winner, lots of positives to take, but also some areas where we can learn from and improve. Fair play to Cox for stepping up - it took guts to do that, after he had (I thought) a shaky game by his standards, and should have buried the chance that hit the crossbar with a few minutes to go.
Experienced keeper, some pace and width, and we’ll look a lot stronger.
Bring on Notts County. It’s likely to be a very tough game, against an impressive and technical side. A point would be a good result.

First half hour I thought we always looked like scoring and every time we lost it, we looked like getting it back. They struggled to get out of their half.
Which is why conceding was such a kick in the balls (and the second one quite literally for Barden)
