    Important result despite the performance. Understandable given covid effects/lack of games but then again we've seen many of those type of performances to believe it's necessarily a one off.

    Cook makes a huge difference so really important to have him back. Fair play to Gilliead, created both goals and was good defensively and he needed to be because Threlkeld was dreadful yet again. Wtf was that pass leading up to their goal?

    Don't know about anyone else but Songo'o continues to disappoint. Poor in possession and teams are still getting through our midfield in areas you'd expect him to be.

    Much work to do but good start to the year.

    Nope...but there's only been 4: Exeter & Barrow away, Oldham & Stevenage at home. 3 wins, 1 draw, and of our 8 goals scored in those matches, Angol & Cook have 7. Granted it's only a few matches, but the numbers do suggest that we need to keep those two healthy and on the pitch.

    It was just nice to stop the run of draws. Hopefully it does wonders for the players’ confidence.

    Six points off the top seven but that is bridgeable only if we reinforce this month.

    That last sentence has always been Angol's career issue

    Totally agree. Songo'o actually reminds me of my own sunday league midfield prowess to an extent - often running beside or behind a younger player with the only option being a clumsy or cynical foul.

    You're so right banbrotam. I can't believe some of the whingeing on here - worse than usual. We've just won our first game in ages - and away from home - and with a bunch of players who've been Covid ravaged. Listen up, folks. WE WON!

    You're watching a different game to me, mate. Songo'o is one of our best players. Yes, he makes the odd mistake - this is League 2 after all - but he continues to be one of our most powerful performers and most of the time, reads the game really well.

    Didnt see anything wrong with their “ equaliser “ , maybe our view angle was wrong but looked like we got out of jail to me?

    You guys! We won. For the first time since October. And away from home. Our two main strikers, back together again, both scored. Many of our players were recovering from Covid, most haven't trained properly for over two weeks. Jeezus, the grim gruesome negativity on here really pisses me off sometimes. Whatever the team and Adams achieve in the coming months will never be enough for some of you. If we get into play offs, we',ll be rubbish because we're not in automatics. If in automatics, we're garbage because we're not champions. For Chirissakes, just enjoy the day. WE WON!

    He's hot and cold but so they all are none of them are too good for this level like when we had Davies and Wells but they won't pay for a Davies so we don't have one

    Makes me laugh every time someone is singled out lol they're all League Two standard from goalkeepers to forwards
