Agreed, we were poor, but I'll happily take that result

We sat far too deep in the second half. Thought we deserved to lead 2-0 in the first.

God help us if we play good, sacking SP has proved something today hasn't it?
One thing he probably would have done is bought Haynes on and then we'd habe been in trouble. Stokes at least defends hard and concentrates for 90 minutes. Baker and the other wide player would have had a field day with Haynes.

We're near the bottom of league one. There's no glory in having more possession or a superior number of passes. Get the results sorted then start worrying about the stats.

Does he look like he could be a long term answer?
Genius tactics from MacFarlane then!
I mean, you're right in principle. But if I had a choice, I'd prefer we have more possession than that in the remaining games...

Who knows? He is not fit but he really works overtime. It seems off he is not in forest greens team as he doesn't look out of place.
I have to be honest I think Haynes is dire - he cannot defend and doesn't hols his position at all.

Haynes could be in danger of going the wayof Andy Whing. He started great under McAllister then tailed off.
Still plenty of time for him to improve though.

Click on pic to enlarge, 4 shots all game, 3 on target, 2 went in.
They had 23 shots..
The escape is on true CCFC style.

It was an uncomfortable second half and I'm surprised we didn't fold to be honest. As much as I've been Burge's biggest critic, he didn't do a lot wrong today and can be proud of his performance. Stokes had a good 1st half too.
It was a second half performance which we've seen all too much of. Strange substitutions in my opinion but hey I'm not going to be too critical because they were 3 massive points. A few great goal saving tackes today by Stokes, Martin, Pennington and even Martin. A few players really did but their arses on the line for the shirt which has been lacking most of th season.
There is a degree of talent in 'the group' and hopefully a half decent new manager will be able to get them playing. Mention for Samuel again. He's going to be a great player in a few years!

Jesus please don't let Samo see this... It will descend into 8 pages of debating the same pointless question.

The result is the only thing that matters in our situation. I have no idea how we hung on for the win. But grafting out results against better teams with sheer grit and determination is exactly what we haven't been doing for ages. We have probably lost many games we should have won. How often have we won games we should probably have lost?

.... you have something in common then G..?
We wernt good. Gave away so much possession. Centre midfielder were non existant second half and if it wasn't for the good luck we had and they had of converted their chances the score would have read about 7-2.
Best thing about today was burge. I never believed I'd see him perform like that. He seemed more confident.
Got to say Samuel played well. You tell he thought too much with the one on one but made amends with a good finish. Playing RDM second half he made some good clearances. But Fuck me he slipped a lot.
Pitch looked shocking

Good solid first half, backs against the wall in the second. We didn't help ourselves in the second as we were just hoofing it up the pitch to no one. Burge had a good game, good shot stopping today but his distribution was dreadful.
Great feeling getting the win, exciting towards the end when we were defending for our lives and it finally woke the Ricoh up with cheering and singing from all around the ground Won £37 too on the result. Good all round.

We are a team low on confidence and we had a bit of luck today but they also worked harder and tried to press and play higher up the field which they did more earlier in the game than than after the break but let us not forget, this is a team in 2nd place and playing well with confident players so we can all be happy tonight. The gap has closed on a few more teams and we have a massive 10 days with 3 games so let's back them and hopefully secure 7-9 points from those as that will be pivotal and crushing to others around us.
