Andy082005 Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I didnt make it down there today as had to work this morning, but from what ive heard City were pretty dreadful and should have lost by a few goals. Surely though, there are plenty of positives to take from this, were now 5 games unbeaten and it looks like (touch wood) we have found some sort of resiliance now. Go back 6 weeks, and if we had conceded that early we would have gone on and lost 3 or 4-0. Remember the Chesterfield and Southend games, as soon as we conceded, we collapsed....not today though, or against Rotherham in the week and Gillingham last weekendIF we can do Walsall, that is a great point for us today. Onwards and upwards from hear, the lads will have a nice little break after this game on Monday and by the time we play our next game, we may have 1 or 2 new faces in the squad aswell......foreigners maybe, if you believe what the Evil Post writesVilmos Seebok anyone??

Dollymarie Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Basso with those saves not long after we went one nil down, plus Heywood were what saved the day for us today, it wasnt the best performance, a long way short of what we witnessed on Wednesday night but we at least managed to scrape a point.

BCFCSteve Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Dolly sums it up pretty wellDire in first half and looked much more a threat in 2nd half. Not quite the form from Wednesday carried through but its a point that keeps us out of the relegation zone and keeps our unbeaten run now at 5 going. Basso saved us in the first half while the rest of the team looked lost and out of thier depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clevedon Red Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I was sat in the Yeovil stand and was one of the few to leap up when we scored, a classic oops I shouldn't have done that, but never mind. I thought the atmosphere was quiet considering it was a derby and the terrific away following were very quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ronmeister Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 thats good, what was the atmosphere like down there??Personally I have never heard anything so loud and emphatic as when Yeovil scored, I've never heard anything like it. The accoustics are much better than AG, so depsite there only being about 7,000 home fans the noise was incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the atmosphere was quiet considering it was a derby and the terrific away following were very quiet.hahahaha! i can relate to this one. Was in the end behind the goal and was told by the locals in no uncertain terms to "go away" or risk the wrath of the 5 baby eating blokes behind us who were foaming at the mouth for a rumble!! Needless to say the stewards saved me and my friend before our iminent hiding. Rather than eject us they walked us round to the away end - result!As for the match? In my opinion we were dire, noble and russell are both 1 paced - slow! Neither of them can tackle (add Murray and cotteril to that as well) therfore yeovil just walked through our midfield at will. Basso couldn't kick the skin off a rice pudding however he kept us in it with some superb stops and heywood looked solid. Was quite impressed with Orr as well, didnt put a foot wrong and put in some good balls. Can somebody enlighten me on Bas Savage as well? How is he a football player, he is god awful..!Oh well, a poor performance but a point gained, a month ago we would have been given a thrashing so maybe things are starting to look up. Our unbeaten spell continues!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ronmeister Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 , i can only assume you havent been to many grounds if you thought that. It might have been because of the stark contrast - It was a hell of a lot more noise than the City fans were making after the awful start, we had about 10% of possesion in the opening 2 minutes, if that. And to be fair to them, their fans were bloody good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xerox6060 Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Complete garbage first half bar Scott Murray, early equaliser knocked the stuffing out of Yeovil game then just became scrappy for both sides, should have been comfortably beaten......worrying.

Top Corner Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Atmosphere was cr@p down there in my view. As expected for us, with no roof, getting drenched etc. No excuse for the homers though. AG maybe quiet at times, but still alot better than yesterday.Yeovil played some decent stuff in the 1st half, although assisted by our own dismal showing. Thinking back on it though decent point, despite the 1st half showing. Several factors were against us :- - Biggest League game in Yeovil's history, - Return of GJ to his old stamping ground, - Early start, with the early coach trip not exactly likely to help already tired legs, - Our 3rd game in 6 games, whilst only Yeovil's 2nd, - Heavy pitch with the absymal weather, again not helping tired legs.All in all, Yeovil will never have a better chance to beat us. They didn't. We know we didn't play well, but still scrapped a point, if on the balance of play, a tad fortunately.The return fixture at AG on 1st April will be an entirely different affair.

cider army on tour Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Atmosphere in the City end was ruined by no roof and going a goal down so early on. Still managed to get behind the team start of the second half before the goal came. I was very dissapointed with the atmosphere from the Yeovil end. After going 1-0 up so early on in a local derby I expected much more singing. Especially as their home end is terracing, a poor show from the Yeovil fans. I enjoyed my trip to Yeovil, very friendly people and definetly the least intimidating away match I have ever been to. It did not feel like a "normal" league game.

Guest rasherpudding Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 We were awful in first half. I don't get this Basso saved us stuff, his distribution was so poor that virtually every ball he played went to one of theirs putting us under more and more pressure. His great saves only followed his fumble, hardly creditable. I was middle of goal 2 steps back, Basso does not say a word to his back line, totally silent!! How can a decent defence operate that way, no "man on" or keeper to help the backs.2nd half much better at least we managed one or two passes. Murray was best overall, Dave was poor, midfield outcompeted by Yeovil, Brooker no service, I don't think Savage will ever score final control not good enough, Orr & Woody ok but too many errors, Carey & Haywood not bad giventhe clown behind.A point a fair result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
