Gakoe Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Well I bloody enjoyed that. Don't get to watch many games down under due to the obscene kick off times so that was an absolute treat. Pring, Scott, Semenyo all looking class. The futures bright. COYR. 8 2 Quote Link to comment

Now at least we still retain a threat. Can see what he is trying to do. Second come behind win in a row at home. For once could we just see out a two goal lead easily, for my heart. It’s not like we have been in that position often this season. How many 3-2s, 2-3s have we had now...feels a lot. Embrace the sweet sweet arms of midtable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Dan Robin Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) A deserved and really important win: well done, Robins! Fantastic second half performance, full of desire, moments of quality and chances: their goal came out of nothing, but the team managed quite well the last minutes. All the team deserves credit, but our strike force was particularly effective. Edited January 22, 2022 by Dan Robin 1 Quote Link to comment

Happy that he won't be going against him again this season. Nice to do the double over them for sure. Worth the 5am wakeup call 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment

Give him pace around him and he’s absolutely quality. Today's opponents suited him today. Put in some good defensive work from set plays as well as two quality finishes. Still think we look much more fluid without him in the side, but NP got it right starting him today. 2 Quote Link to comment

The Swan and Cemetery Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Starting to look a proper handful going forward. In different ways Semenyo, Martin and Weimann ran them ragged (accepting they’re not AC Milan 1990 at the back). Since start of December 14 goals in 7 league games is a long way from last season, where we seemed to struggle to get into the opponent’s half. Massengo and Scott great in lots of ways, but think we need one experienced head in there, if we can get them out of the treatment room. That said, pleased Williams wasn’t needed, a bit more recovery useful. O’Dowda did lots of things well, but his final ball is almost bizarrely poor at times. Thought Jay did okay right side. Whether it’s Klose or someone else, need some more organisation/experience in defence - our defending of set plays was better this week with Martin back in, but from open play we look poor at dealing with crosses. However, very happy to take 14 points off relegation and 9 off the playoffs. 4 Quote Link to comment
GlastonburyRed Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Great result, and even better considering the two enforced changes early doors. Real grit & character beginning to show from 1-11 and dareisay almost looking forward to what next season might bring (nurse!!!). Quote Link to comment
cityexile Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 7 games v the bottom 6. 21 points. Thank heavens for them! 2 1 Quote Link to comment
keflav Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Great 3 points some great finishing up and forward play be and unlucky not to score more, think the scoreline flattered Cardiff... Always great to do the double over them, I can relax and enjoy the day now... 4 Quote Link to comment
Garland-sweden Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Did not see the game but nice for Martin to score two and our topscorer one. Semenyo hit the post I heard. Hope the new defender can give our defence strenght. Vyner is not the man who should play CB. Points important and give us space from relegation. We have lots of players that can score, the trick is now to get the defence tight. Slowly slowly we make progress and think NP are leading our team in right direction. COYR Quote Link to comment
Leveller Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Quite surprised that Semenyo is getting raves. How he failed to score in that match I’ll never know. Did pose a constant threat though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

The less said about our defence the better though! Indeed, only 1 team has conceded more than us, but only 5 have scored more. Clear why Nige is after defensive ballast this window, whether Klose or not. Quote Link to comment

The pace to beat all the defence to the first chance that hit the post? The strength to create the chance for the second that hit the post? Still quite surprised people can’t see the player Semenyo is turning into. 7 Quote Link to comment

BCFCGav Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Well we were unlucky not to win more comfortably in the end! But doing the double over Cardiff is always good enough for me Glad I don’t have to make the call on MoM today, Semenyo was a beast, Massengo a menace (mistake aside), Martin with a stellar performance and a fantastic brace and our talisman Andi with the winner. Special mention for Pring too. COYRRRR!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

Give him pace around him and he’s absolutely quality. Don’t think anyone has been in doubt. On his day he is a good player at this level but he cannot be flogged week in week out. A tired fatigued Chris Martin is horrendous and painful to watch. Credit to Nige for bringing him back into the team in a game that suited him. Use him sparingly and he is a great asset. 5 Quote Link to comment
