[The Crab]

Madness what social media can do. That spud bloke down the moor isn't too impressed though

I can imagine not. He’s been there years too

 

[YES Blade]

I dont want to put the mockers on it but, were faster, we're making tackles and blocks theres runners and were a lot quicker, its night and day to what it was just a week or so ago, its amazing what a difference confidence makes

It’s the chances being created that’s impressed me so far, after 30 minutes we’ve had more chances that we normally have in 90 minutes.

 

[Headshrinker]

The ref started well but is now giving free kicks for everything.

And why is he stopping play for their leg injuries? Twice now and this time he let them attack and blew play dead on the counter.

 

[bonobo]

Tanganga is a really clever defender. These little dummies and faints when PNE are counter attacking or he is isolated in a 1 on 1. Then when he is one ball, he finds very inventive ways to move himself out of a press and keep the ball going forward.

It's amazing what a competent manager can do

 

[Chris the Blade]

Where's Stuey McCall??

 

[BangorBlade]

Another goal before half time will kill ths game off altogether

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Riedewald has given us a combativeness in midfield. Helping Peck be more creative and much more comfortable on the ball.

ITS COMING TOGETHER

 

[gooseh]

Urgh, that was a good finish

 

[RetfordBlade96]

Fuck sake just before half time game changer

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Where did 5 minutes even come from? ffs

 

[MTBlade]

Theres a great energy level tonight.

The only slight downside for me is Peck, doing a few too many flicks and tricks for me, which are giving the ball away.

Oh and the goal we've just conceded (Burrows your not winning that ball, just stand).

 

[WestYorksBlade]

Typical, of course they manage to nick one a minute before the break. Ffs

 

[Thrice]

Feel like Cooper should save that. Bottom corner is his achilles heel it looks like.

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

Cooper should save that

 

[espoo blade]

Where did 5 minutes even come from? ffs

A few injuries and a substitution?

 

[JayGreen17]

good half apart from the goal, I hope we don’t regress, goals just before half time will galvanise them.

 

[Bobby b]

That was a good goal, theres not a lot you can do about that

 

[Geordie Blade]

Dreadful from Burrows - a schoolboy would be ashamed of going in that softly. Especially at a key time in the game.

 

[CornwallBlade]

Excellent half but Peck playing deep is not working - he’s invisible

 

[Chadders]

Most enjoyable half of football all season for me. Well done blades. We’re back.

 

[BangorBlade]

Need to pick the tempo up in the 2nd half and get a 3rd goal before Cannon comes on ffs

 

[Pintor75]

Decent game so far, disappointing to give a goal away just before the break ,but there's more to come I feel from us second half, agree Peck too busy doing flicks, Ogbene doing nothing, Mcguinness & O'Hare doing well

 

[dexter101]

Good half performance as a whole. Hopefully we can get another early in the second half and then (and I am not joking) a good time for Cannon to come on. No pressure. Just go and try and bag a goal.

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

They’ll grab another early second half and win it late on. That goal was a killer.

 

[Blademan89]

Decent 1st half, feel like we should be 3-0 up, these seem suspect at the back. Shame that their only shot on target which was Cooper should have done better with went in.

I hope its more attacking intent 2nd half rather than sitting back for us as usual.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Decent finish by their guy but only playing that late due to their injury

If only Brooks did that in the play off final

 

[JayGreen17]

They’ll grab another early second half and win it late on. That goal was a killer

Always happens

 

[Trigger Blade]

They’ll grab another early second half and win it late on. That goal was a killer.

Let’s hope so Jimmy!
