Saint Fan CaM

Peretz for me. Yes, he’s a loan but our change of fortunes has come about since he got the keepers jersey more or less. There’s got to be a reason for that.

Excellent second half performance - top game management from Tonda - when we could have quite easily folded under their thuggish onslaught and a right dodgy Ref. Away support was exceptionally good given the lower numbers I thought. Azaz grew, thankfully, in the game. Edozie was somewhat ineffectual to be honest, but didn’t do a lot wrong as such. Larin is an odd one - one minute he’s doing fuck all and the next he’s doing something great. Thought Charles and Downes started to tire mid-second half and needed a change - as it happens it didn’t really matter. Very happy with that result however there’s so much more to do now to consolidate on that to start attacking the 2nd-5th or even holding on to 6th. Nobodies giving up the chase just yet.

Larin is not effecting the game positively and Azaz is a shadow of his performance in the last game. Two great goals and we definitely deserve to be ahead. But as usual we take the foot off the pedal and let them into the game. The Ref literally gifted them their goal after a blatant foul on THB - possibly even missed a red as Moore led with his elbow into he back of THB’s neck. Disgusting tactics from Wrexham.

Also, agree with the comments around the officials having eyes wide open. Wrexham are not a footballing team…they are physical and will try to injure at least Scienza, Fellows and Edozie (assuming they play). For them particularly it’s not just about this game - they’ll want as many of our players crocked for the run-in as possible and this is their big chance to effect that.

Yeah, completely agree with this. Hoping Tonda gets his tactics right, because Wrexhams gaffer surely will…he’s no slouch. It’s going to be a nervy, cautious game from us…less so Wrexham. I would play Stewart to start rather than Larin…we need the win.

I was watching in a campsite small restaurant/bar in northern Portugal and I could feel the atmosphere from there. Obviously there were times when the crowd (and all those watching around the World) became tense but surely that’s an integral part of the atmosphere? NB: I apologised to the few others in the otherwise very quiet rustic bar - I may have caused a bit of a stir when the first goal went in. 😬😊

Not sure what to say really - just highly elated at what I thought was going to be a straightforward Arse win. When Leo and Stewart went off I said that’s it, we’ve lost. But I didn’t count on the team spirit and sheer will in that team that Eckhert has instilled. Every single player put their balls on the line this evening - even Manning. Fantastic performance - mainly from our Manager who had his counterpart trounced in terms of tactics.

What was Larins goal like?

In Gibraltar on walk-about so missed most of the first half. 🙄 Great to see us 2-0 up at half-time. Need to be utterly ruthless with 70%+ possession and press for two more goals at least.

So, do we go for a win to maintain the play-off push or let Oxford win to ensure Pimply and the Fixes are more likely to get relegated? Tough one. 😉

Like I said - great to get the win, but for some to be suggesting auto’s…really?

Think we might be getting ahead of ourselves a little here. Great to get the win and sneak into the playoffs, but honestly…we’ll need to be so much better to sustain that position.

Peretz and Azaz had superb games - joint MOTM

That’s a fucking red for an elbow on Jander!!!

Ref is an absolute Cnut.
