When we're up at half-time, you'd think we'd anticipate they are going to come at us in the second-half and be ready with a plan.

BIG WIN

BROWN saved us ironically

Damn right I am putting a damper on this one. Don't give a fuck what other fans think. Atrocious 2nd half and robin's better have words with them.

We won the game idiot

 

[Johhny Blue]

What save?

The whole second half was a save

 

[covcity4life]

What save?

He made no save. Brown was the unlikely hero

Don't make me send young the graveyard like so many other posters

 

[Esoterica]

Think we've just been a bit naive in this and the Bradford game. A bit of profligate finishing and we've ended up being dragged down to the oppositions chaotic level instead of sticking to our own successful game plan. Good news though that we held on and got decent mins into the subs legs today, and boy did they look like they needed it.

 

[pipkin73]

Fuck me!! what the hell happened that 2nd half. Hearts still going 10 to the dozen. Donny will do well this season if they keep playing like that. Anyway 5-5 PUSB

 

[christonabike]

Easy! Never in any doubt.

 

[Grendel]

Lee Burge is a hero

Oh dear

 

[skyblueheaven]

I'm in Sky Blue heaven!

And me!!

Good teams win games when they are not at their best.

Davies and Willis were great second half

Inclined to say that robins nearly lost us that second hslf. You cant set out to simply hold the line for so long before then taking it to the opposition.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Oh dear

Funny when Burge has more touches in the second half than your boyfriend

 

[Johhny Blue]

We're terrifying everyone else in this league.
Attacking lesson in the first
Defending lesson in the second

They were a bit deep for me, need to be pushing the team up higher. Can't sit that deep with a 37 year old and eventually an unfit Kelly and Ogogo in the middle. No surprise we couldn't get the ball back when they had half the pitch to cover.

 

[Paxman II]

We had to take Chaplin off as he was injured. That meant the front ball failed to stick. JCH needs to find a better touch though he was better today. Kelly did not improve us in the middle and Ogogo was pointless. Thomas and Bayliss looked worn out so we need a better plan when we need to shore up the game. Jones needs minutes. Don't know why he did not run to the corner on that breakaway. Our two central defenders are quite magnificent. Brown had a game of two parts, good and bad!
Well can we gather ourselves for 6 in a row?

Why did you say he made a save - is that what the radio said?

 

[larry_david]

Anyone have a video of the block from brown?

 

[jordan210]

I hope from now on if we are 2 up and attack is working. we come out the second half to try and smash 2 more in.

All in all. we won and have constructive criticism so things to work on not doing.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I was there, were you? Maybe we could have a chat before the next home game...

 

[Liquid Gold]

Harder fought than it needed to be but who cares.

I love this club.

 

[Nick]

Robins said Brown was ill all week and had to run off the pitch for a shit.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Harder fought than it needed to be but who cares.

I love this club.

We all love this club. That's why we fight so much. It's called Passion.

 

[6 Generations]

Good teams find a way to win, when not playing to their capabilities.

Brilliant form.

Upward momentum is building.

Could be another great season.

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Cov double!!!

 

[NortonSkyBlue]

Well done to all, we need to take a deep breath and give credit to Doncaster who went for it. They deserved a draw, got nothing and I am delighted with that.
We have to remember there are two teams out there and they had a go, they were on the front foot yet we saw the game out.
Fans look for the perfect game and this wasn't it.

Irrelevant post of the year. We won.

 

[Nick]

It wasn't so long ago we probably would have lost that.

 

[Grendel]

I was there, were you? Maybe we could have a chat before the next home game...

Why would I want to do that?

[pusbccfc]

Poor second half.

Just as he did in the Bradford game, Robins went too deep and negative. Luckily, in both games, the opposition were too poor to capitalise.

 

[Nick]

Can Robins reject the manager of the month?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

First half Donny were all over the place and it should have been 3 or 4, but 2 well taken goals and I thought it'd be relatively comfortable second half. Not so as Robins decides to camp in our half and absorb pressure. At times it was almost like we were willing them to score which they did when given acres of space in the box. How we held on I don't quite know but thankfully so and hopefully Robins has learnt his lesson from a series of close shaves at the death.
