It was a very good second half performance as you say 4 life. We didn't defend too deep and controlled possession/midfield. I really enjoyed watching O'Hare today. Different class. McFaz brilliant. Rose and Hyam - unsung heroes and consistent. Sam M showed his inexperience at times. Huge win.

Let’s get it right- McFazdean is no Trevor Peake of course, but he is a huge presence for us at this level in the middle, ordering people around, he’s a leader too- he’s prone to mistakes if you take him out of position or put the ball behind him, but as a good old fashioned centre half he’s doing really well for us. He’s a bit like a league one Brian Kilcline and I hope people see that.

With mcfadz think we(myself included) need to realise 95% of time he is gonna be best cb in league and 5% of time he wouldnt get in powerleague 5 a side team becausw of errors being so bad lol. But overall hes been sich a brilliant signing so lets not dwell on mistakes. Granted easieer to say that when we have come back and won!

O hare was shite first 30 mins. Bullied off ball. 2nd he was a pain in backside to them and was flowing well with his control and passing. More starts he gets better he will be in that respect i imagine

And dabo. What a perm signing he is. Got to keep him

Walsh as always once got in game is most talented player on pitch and kelly alongsode him is as good partnership as doyle and kelly lol

Great result makes that ref who bottled the penalty last Tuesday even more annoying, still 4 points from two away games is promotion form.
Thought apart from their daft goal our defence were magnificent today.

It's embarrassing. Waste of a loan, we should just let him play in Norwich reserves and concentrate on Mason and Newton. 2 - 0 Bristol

I don't want us to win. An absolute pasting from Leicester will do us no favours. Prepared to take stick for that as well.

Agree in theory but in reality we’ll earn a decent chunk from going through and unfortunately we’re not in a financial position to turn that down (as long as we avoid injuries/burn out - over to Robins to sort that)

Brilliant three points to come from behind and two excellent goals. Shows our strength in depth in those attacking midfield positions. Poor goal to concede all round - from losing the ball at the throw to Fadz being outmuscled too easily, the poor communication (I'd have expected Fadz to know Marosi wouldn't come) and from Marosi to be beaten at that angle. Thankfully didn't cost us.

Yeah you are right to be fair, but it's a shame we have to think about the financials of a match at all.

It feels wrong saying I want us to lose, ideally they’d just cancel the match. I don’t want to be taking focus away from the last league games.

I just hope we give a good account of ourselves I think we will, perhaps give Giles a run out unless he’s cuptied.

Some good results for us today! We’re in control of our destiny. The belief in this squad must be getting stronger and stronger as the weeks pass by.

4 points from our next 2 home games is to be expected, 6 points would be huge.

Weren't a case of being out muscled, he made a shite decision to leave it for Marosi
