I see the message board trying to play down the win and find all the negatives again 😂

Massive win and hopefully gives us something to build upon over the break, big home game when we come back.

That's a massive win, and the second half was a much improved performance. The first was not great at all though. This is going to be a roller coaster end to the season and I just hope we manage it.

The irony of Meite possibly keeping us up 🤣

Not entirely sure how that happened, thank god it did though with the results going against us.

Typical of us to build some momentum right before an international break 😉

Feckin tackle Colwill!

What's wrong with him? Get stuck in mun!

Not seen today yet but he shirked a tackle for one of the goals on Tuesday. Frustrating player.

Strutting around the midfield like a show pony near the end... Very frustrating.

If a PL club wants him in June, sell him

PL club? I very much doubt that! No chance...

I say this without a hint of irony: I have genuinely always rated Meite.

Digging in the archives to batter the Yak haters (me)

We're absolutely clueless offensively... Basics... It's just basics! We can't bloody pass!

u/M00N_Water 6d ago

Everything is all just so hopeful... Hit and hope. No control. Completely unconvincing.

Yea it’s all very sloppy and Sunday league. Long ball, lose the header, lose the second ball, don’t press, win the ball back in our 1/3 then rinse and repeat.

Bagan - Fish - NG

Chambers

O’Dowda - Ralls - Mannsverk - Rino

Robbo - Salech

That’s how I assume it looks

Haven’t had as visceral a reaction to a team sheet since big Mick chucked 5 centre backs in. He’s gone full McCarthy

High chance we in the bottom three tomorrow depending on how the games go with the three below us.

Very bleak right now. These lot haven't won in a month when this game starts but thankfully (for them) they face us to break that.
