Been a bit of a scrap this second half so far
I couldn’t have even envisaged Cheltenham putting up much of a fight following that poor first half showing from them but credit to them, they’ve given it a go.
By the same token, Barnsley were 6-0 up on Vale at the same stage, so I’m a wee bit miffed we’ve not yer added to our first half 3 goals

A really good performance.
We had a sluggish first 15 minutes and a stroll of a second half but, when we had to, we just dominated the opposition and took our chances.
Charles scored the 1st after a good one-two with Adeboyejo and volleyed in the 3rd after a poor defensive mistake. In between a Morley free kick was turned into via an own goal.
In the 1st half, we had more chances with shots from Dempsey and Adeboyejo just going wide and Adeboyejo choosing to shoot when we had 2 men unmarked in front of goal.
It was a totally dominant performance in the 1st half.
Second half was more of a casual stroll.
We continued to dominate but then made 5 subs which effectively slowed us down.
In the 2nd half, Cheltenham had their only chance.
From a corner, their centre half was totally left, I think by Santos, and Baxter made his only save of the game and then from the resulting corner the same man headed wide when he should have scored. A word of warning there for the defence not to relax.
Overall an excellent dominant performance. Only complaint was that we should have scored more but I am greedy.
Well done – now win these 2 upcoming home games.
Marks:-
Baxter - 7 One good save from a header from a corner. Other than that nothing to do.
Dacres - Cogley - 7 One or two poor centres but always involved
Williams - 7 Very good centres when he breaks
Jones - 7 Just solid
Santos - 8 Strong as usual. Dominated their forwards except at 2 corners where he was badly outjumped.
Iredale - 8 Strong and good going forward when required
Sheehan - 8 Dominant passing throughout
Morley - 7 Good performance
Dempsey - 9 Strong. Two outstanding defensive tackles in the 1st half.
Charles - 9 Two good goals
Adeboyejo - 8 Very busy and worked really hard. Probably one of his best games for us. But stupidly booked for stopping a throw in
Nlundulu - 5 He had 2 good opportunities in the box but on each occasions he faffed about with the ball instead of shooting/crossing.
Jerome - 5 Hard to notice him
Thomason - 6
Mendes-Gomes - 6
Maghoma - 6

I waited until ten thirty ish this morning and there was still no highlights or full match replay so had to check the score in the end it seems as though it was another great win. Not to sure about our tv yet but I’ve only payed five pounds for the first month so I’ll see how it goes COYWM

Not to sure about our tv yet but I’ve only payed five pounds for the first month so I’ll see how it goes COYWM Well it’s now 11:30 Monday morning chip and still no full match replay. The last game was released exactly 24 hrs after the match and I’d assumed it would be the same this time but clearly not. This is my first foray to a board since the match and I’m delighted to see that we won comfortably and the strikers in particular are now gelling. It’s a bit of a disappointment to know that after being 3 up so early we couldn’t add any more and whilst it doesn’t affect the points total it could be worth extra at the end of the season. Maybe we just don’t have that killer instinct? |

I messaged the club about the missing Cheltenham match and hey presto it appeared shortly after and indicated it was posted one day ago, just like the other highlights so maybe someone just forgot to click a button? Anyway, enjoy your trip and have a safe journey back. |

Maybe we just don’t have that killer instinct? Think with the Extra long games, preserving energy is important. Doesn't make for a good spectacle but that's our prerogative for a great 45m. Long season already. Am I correct in thinking that we won't have international breaks this time? Is it 3 minimum and we have Charles - Northern Ireland. Bodvarsson - Iceland. Does Iredale get a game for Australia, Sheehan was reserve for Wales a few seasons ago but not in since. Depending on opponents we may have games? Which is good (we went from feast to famine last season with our schedule) we could even find ourselves on Sky or get a better gate if there's no Premier league. |
