I was baffled by the Izmail substitution as at that point in the game I felt that he and Ozzy were looking most likely to find the way to get our 3rd goal. I also felt that for the 15 to 20 minutes following that substitution we lost our way and Fleetwood looked the more likely team to go on and win the game.

The decisive substitution for me seemed to be the introduction of Agyei. From that point the momentum swung back to us and we scored the 2 goals.

I felt that all of our goals were quality in one way or another:
1. Nice move down the left to create space, accurate ball across the box creating the chance for Ozzy
2. Well worked free kick move, great finish
3. Worldy from the left wing
4. Great move from just inside our half, classy 1-2 to create the decisive chance

I thought Liam Roberts had a very good game in goal with some very good saves, especially the one on one in the first half. Being picky I wondered whether he might have palmed the ball away further for the first goal?

I really like Kory Roberts defensively but I felt he gave the ball away too often last night and needs to work in that aspect.

Great result, very good performance for most of the game, great goals.

Whether we're behind the manager or not I think that we should unite behind the team. The noise only picked up to chant against the Izmail substitution, which isn't really helping the team at all. In the first half I commented that I could hear all of the players on the pitch and the traffic on the motorway.


Regarding L Roberts anything would have been better than what he did. it was a weak cross and it really should have been held but he patted it straight into the middle of the six yard box. He's been pretty strong though other than that so he deserves the benefit of the doubt.

I said before kick off on Twitter that I actually thought the line up was a show of intent from Whitney. I seemed to be in the minority on that view but I was proved right. I wasn't at the game so I don't know the set up but what I saw a weak back four with two wingers, an attacking midfielder and two strikers starting. To me that attack is the intent we need to be showing now from the off. Credit to Whitney. Watching from afar the Ismail substitute sounded baffling but credit where it's due we won the game.

Whitney Out, but credit deserved.

On to Saturday. Another must win.


Did you not go to the game?

Chomp. You've mentioned your boycott so many times I'm starting to wonder whether or not it's true.

Well I had an opinion on the starting line up but couldn’t give a full assessment on the set up which I have stated. It’s to support my point of view. Move on.

He seems to be blaming everyone else for his ineptitude.
Nice work Guest - interesting angle to see the goals from.
