I really wish Glatzels header went in just for him, he could have had 4 today.
Yes,shame. His efforts deserved a goal tonight |

Well, the players certainly woke up for the last five or ten mins and couldn't fault effort in that final tenth. Still papers over many cracks but no one can not enjoy coming from behind to win at the death with a bit of drama. When was the last time Town got two penalties in a league game and scored them both? Tishmanga {in the words of Sir Bodin} certainly can take a peno. Ironically, we all wish he could stay on his feet a bit more  |

That was great. Thoroughly deserved win and just what you want to see for the rest of the season. Finish strong and take the good form into next season.
Exciting at the end - Yes. But I don't want to have to watch such low quality football next year! The best bit of football was their build up to their goal. All of a sudden there was quality all over the pitch which resulted in 3 changes and a goal! |

Indeed, he has got a bit better at staying on his feet. Has Hollowhead fashioned him some stabilisers?  |

Holloway:
- It was worth the risk of putting Smith as CB. Their manager couldn't believe it. They put 2 lumps at the back to handle Smith and had to change their plan
- Thinking was that Smith was tired and worn out. We didnt win any headers in the Morecombe game and Holloway wanted a presence in defence.
- Smith is one of those that looks rubbish in training but does it on the day. He was poor in training at CB, and Holloway was having second thoughts about it
- Holloway took a risk, which could have backfired
- Wanted to get over to the team what he didnt like at the weekend. Passive, rather than semi aggressive defending
- They were obviously fouling our smaller strikers, but we wouldn't have been given fouls against Smith
- Could definitely do that again (Smith at CB)
- Spirit was excellent and crowd were excellent
- Wombles are disappointed. Their manager is fuming with the ref
- But we put great balls into the box
- All the subs got a game
- We are definitely safe. Sure the bottom teams won't get 51 points
- We now try to get another 18
- Tshimanga was cool as a cucumber. Great man. Proper professional. When not picked, he tries even harder to get back in. Its what Holloway wants
- Fans were fantastic
- Holloway feels warn out
- We have played better and got nothing
- Home results are down to togetherness.
- Biggest cheer was when Tshimanga chased down a defender and gave away a throw. The crowd went wild
- Westley and Glatzel battle and fought. Thats all Holloway wans
- Today was more of what Holloway wanted. Fighting every minute

Admittedly, several likely do but we do know Town has a lot of work to be where they should be. Both on and definitely off the pitch. It's not acceptable to accept this level of footy. As many have stated, the bare minimum for this club should always be challenging at the top end of League Two and even having a bloody good crack {lolzy} at League One - once there again. So yup. A fuck ton of cracks at this club. Although several fans would think it's a perfectly rendered club {not necessarily mean on here btw}. The only thing perfectly rendered at Town currently is services rendered Despite that, as mentioned...still going to enjoy the win; purely for the matter in which it evolved and was executed - namely by Tshimanga's penalty taking exploits  |

Yeah, dunno what some of our fans are expecting tbh. Is the squad good enough to get out of this league - probably not. Has the improvement / form under Holloway given us enough to at the very least be looking encouragingly at next season, imo yes. Even top of the league Walsall have more cracks on display than a construction site. Won’t even finish top 3. |

Still a good chance Walsall go up automatically, 2 wins in 15 games yet still top of the league. No one putting the pressure on. |

Their last minute equaliser tonight against Donny could be massively pivotal. Otherwise Walsall would be top on 71pts & Donny 4th on 69pts with a game in hand. Even now it’s 72 - 67. So 5pts difference & Donny have a game in hand. Obviously the two teams between them are on 70pts. Considering their form - it’s very possible they drop out of the top 3. I swear they were like 18 points clear at one point weren’t they? |
