Match Thread Away V Cheltenham Saturday 20th February @ 3.00pm

Sat here thinking about the last time I could run through the first 11 and not be unhappy about any one of them. Possibly GK position if I was being ultra critical.

You look at the bench-Rowe-Crankshaw to come on and affect the game when needed.

Bloody hell this current squad are without doubt the strongest we have had for years-probably since Millwall at Wembley.

We are the form team right now-when did we last say that? Under Parky I would suspect on that late run to beat Northampton at Wembley.

Imagine we do not get promoted this season, look at the spine of the squad we will be building on for next season. If we do some how get promoted this season and it is not unfeasible now to be thinking that we will have a team we can really build on quite easily. Either way next season is already looking good for us.

Absolutely feel a real connection now with the team-shame I can't express my feelings in person on match day. VP would be absolutely rocking right now-easily getting 15K plus on the back of this amazing run.

 

I mentioned this a couple of weeks back and it got a cool response, so I wonder if anyone has changed their mind. New contract for AOC anyone? Obviously on less than his current one.

 

We could be four points off the playoffs by 10pm Tuesday. Wow.

 

Almost like 2 different clubs....amazing the turnaround....results like today are nothing but an affirmation to the upward direction we are heading atm.

 

The amazing thing is the performances of players that were originally at the club everyone has stepped up their game players like the two OConnors Cooke Watt and Sutton. It just shows what good management can do

Vernam just about did the minimum today, but I do like Crankshaw...

 

That's my point...the new signings have been bang on...but the life it has sprung from the old guard as well....12 games ago we looked like a relegation battle would be the tone....now I'm looking at the autos and thinking that's not an unachievable goal...

 

We talking about the real Elon Musk or the two Bob ‘Shammy King’ @Fordy117?

 

I tell you what, today was a performance I feel like I’ve watched so many opponents play against us and it feels good to be on the other side.

We were far away from world beaters today, but for the first 25mins we looked like a very good TEAM.

All I’ve wanted to see from the club for years now is a spine of a team, and we seem to seeing small glimpses of that, even when we still can’t call our best GK and CF. Canavan is a great addition and the 3 in midfield look like totally different players. My only worry is an injury to any of them.

We work like a team. Play like a team for each other. Battle as a team. Win as a team and seem to, so far, step up to the challenge as a team. Is this really Bradford City????

You saw the way the defence celebrated every block or when the oppo shot over the bar or wide. Paudie in particular. It really matters to them to keep a clean sheet-you can see how they are working together at the back and it is a good sign of a new mindset-players throwing themselves at the ball to block shots etc.

Our midfield bossed the game today and then up top we had experience and could easily have had 4 away goals.

I like how the team decides when to attack on the break and when not to. Great calmness on the ball and belief in each other. Not seen that in years. Like you said-this is a TEAM.

 

Agree you can't be disappointed with an all round team performance like today but it has to be Vernam's poorest so far (not that I'm complaining).

 

Not bad when you are are playing a top team on their patch where you have a lousy record and are able to sub your beast player.

 

I'm with you on that mate, Cook was a beast today .

 

Or suspension but we can cope by using Evans and Crankshaw.

 

Shame on you and me(freudian slip); he is quite a handsome young chap.

 

Are we resigning Devitt?

 

Bloody City, still it is better to drink too much for being happy than drowning your sorrows.

 

Agree he was fairly quiet but Cheltenham were very wary of him breaking.
