adamoafc Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Fancy a win against them close and edgy but 1-0 win for me. Hopefully a Holloway goal to prove a point to Rosler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 It's the football snob in me, but I can't even consider we won't beat Fleetwood Town at home, regardless of where they are in the League... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean but I am old enough to remember thinking the same about the likes of Wigan Athletic and Bournemouth and I suspect I will live long enough to be soon thinking the same about the likes of AFC Fylde or Forest Green Rovers.....

I'm not so sure. Wigan and Bournemouth are from towns of reasonable size. Big enough that you'd probably consider them to have been underachieving at one point. The population of Fleetwood, and wherever Forest Green are from in Gloucestershire probably resembles Chadderton's...

PlayItLivo Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) Last season on Grand National day we played Walsall at home who were 3rd in the table, and won. Parallels and all that Edited April 7, 2017 by PlayItLivo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps why Jamie Stott has just been put through a stenous warm up. Apart from that very good all round more of the same please.

PlayItLivo Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) Fantastic result. You know it was a good performance when our worst player was Ripley, bone idle today, did nothing! Edited April 8, 2017 by PlayItLivo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I generally don't go for the, "this league is shit this year," theory but if them and Shef United are among the best it really is. Excellent job from us regardless. McGlaughlan will be attracting attention playing like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disjointed Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Great result, fleet wood were as poor as they were at fleet wood. Fane was stand out for me today, gave his best performance for us, everywhere on the pitch and looked like it is finally starting to click. Holloway makes the difference for us, it allows Erwin to play off him and he looks a better player for it. 1 more win should do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyg101 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Cracking result and excellent performance. Hope Holloway isn't out, he makes a huge difference even though he's not been scoring. Thought Irwin took his goals well and could've had more. Credit to the whole team's effort and very pleased with Fane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davidshaw Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Fane was very, very good indeed today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 To put that into perspective, they've not lost an away match for almost 6 months Against the top six we've lost one of five home games, picking up 8 of 15 points. We can take three points off Bolton, I've got no doubts about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dec666 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Fane wasn't just good in a 'runs around a lot putting tackles in' kind of way today, either. This guy is turning in to a real player under Shez/the current coaching staff. I always felt people were harsh on his ability on the ball, but his confidence with is a million times higher. Numerous times today he kept hold of it, turned away from his man, ran forward with it or played the right pass. Really impressive today from him and the whole team.

oafcprozac Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 An excellent day to out on such a performance. We won at a canter, superb cross for the first, tremendous second and Ollie Banks juggling cantonaesque (spit) worth the admission alone. Dad would have enjoyed that... Fleetwood awful..
