Its live on RADIO WM, but unfortunately not On-Line, as PTV (the company that runs the club websites) own the Internet broadcasting rights.


Its definitely live on SaddlersWorld Surrey/KJC...

I'm just listening to Grant Smith score his 2nd goal, 2-1 up with 18mins left.


I can't get it. Am having to listen to the Tranmere guy

Taylor and Kearns said he looked knackered - lack of match fitness.

What a superb result, new manager, same players, 4 away games undefeated, and ALL at tough venues - incredible.

Just proves what many of us had been saying for months, the squad is/was good enough, just needed organising, motivating, coaching and getting fit.

Well done to Kevan Broadhurst, didn't know what to think when he was announced, now I'm converted !

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeee-Hahhhhhhh !

Playing as a TEAM. Playing with backbone. This is fantastic. Im confidently predicting we will not be involved in a relegation battle soon.Great to hear on WM commentary the way the players were celebrating at the end.Does this mean they actually care cus it sure didnt look that way before KB arrived.

god it feels great to have a manager again

An absolutely brilliant away performance tonight. Mills in particular was outstanding in midfield, as was Oborn who kept thigs very neat and tidy and wasn't scared to put his foot in.
Devlin was 'a different class' up front and although I don't think Barrowman is a very good striker, he occupies the opposition defenders and always gives them something to theink about, allowing Devlin to run the channels and create oppertunities.
The defence was also superb. Gerrard and Roper both played how we know they can, Fox kept a previously in-form Aiston very quiet (so much so, they took him off at half time).Wright looked dodgy at times and is clearly not a right back. He stuk to his game and did his best, but we looked much more solid down that side when Westwood came on.
It was great to see the passion in the celebrations at the final whistle. Mills, James & Devlin stood to applaud our fans for quite some time and you could tell it meant a lot to them.

Absoloutly NOT!!!

2 world class saves tonight, one where he tipped the ball somehow onto the crossbar? Amazing.

Brilliant performance tonight and great support from the 400 or so of us who travelled.

Pablo was immense, Gerrard a rock and Devlins running on and off the ball was superb.

Another standing ovation at the end, I must admit though at 1-1 I was expecting the worse but we still attacked them on the break and got our reward.

Looking forward to a home match at last, I forgot where I sit :shock:

I know WM gets some stick n this board, but I do think that Taylor is the pick of their reporters / commentators, by some distance.

In defence of Saigon, I will say that Oakes certainly HAS been a liability but he faced 4 on-target shots tonight. For two of them he produced world-class saves which, had they been on Match of the Day, would have the pundits drooling. The 3rd one brought a good workmanlike block to save and the 4th shot went in!

That goal did highlight his physical weakness at times - "weak wrists" as a goalkeeper coach would say. He does tend to flap meekly at shots and crosses sometimes and this is an area he needs to work on. However, it would be churlish not to recognise the improvement in his all-round game and his match-winning performance tonight. I have no doubt that now coaching is taking place (shock, gasp, horror!) at Bescot, Oakes will improve in this area, also.
