I was happy with nolan i think he will get better and better . I have high hopes for that 1 . Personaly i dont think adebayo lavery and gordon starting worked .but overmoon with the win .

We seem to have gone away from always kicking towards our end second half, for some reason.

I thought it was rather strange game. Our midfield struggled for chunks of the game in both halves but at other times we looked very good. Anyway 2 good goals to win it…our first comeback win of the season. Well done the team.A promising performance by the new lad too!!!

The sun was very bright and very low this afternoon, my guess is that’s why we changed ends.

Got to be a contender for Goal of the Season ( we don’t score many at home !! ) class finish from Wes

Thanks for posting early, beer will taste better tonight

Was’nt there but DC seemed to think Wes’s goal was a cross !

Na wes knew what he was doing and were to put 100% a defo shot .never a cross lol

Version for overseas Saddlers. No sound, as I don’t want to wake the wife. It’s 2.30am here.

At least you’ll be able to see the ‘wondercross’. Good night!

Every time you think your so right you do that kind of post, well done you clever man!

Wasn’t really i game full of fun, But too behind and come back was a big plus, The 2 subs but mainly nolan made a difference, Nolan lost the ball but chased and won it back sums up how he wanted it so much, Gutherie isnt all that no more but his communication is bang on point!

The game was pretty flat and they could of should of had a couple more especially when Scarr lets his man just walk into the box…Wes was again our out source and did very well, JC just seems too off fell of the pace a little, maybe a rest will help i dunno but hes always got his mans shirt and arms all over them, tactical? id say thats all he has left in his locker…

not the best but not the worst but we fighted for the points and thats the difference now too before they dont give up even if has been a pretty dull game…All tho we did move it around decent at points…

Im still undecided on Ada too, Some great touches etc etc at times but other he just gets confused by his own legs, one day they will be much better with some good advice and guidance

Im gunna stick my neck out and say Josh was my MOTM…Tackles in your own box and scores hes just all over the place and fuel with passion!

Interesting comments by Clarke regarding Holden.

“I probably did him a dis-service by thinking he could be a wide player!”
Also - top of the training stats every time.

And if you add to that his comments during the week, he could be a possible signing at the end of the season.

Good to see the home end clap Holden off as he left the field. Interesting comments from dc post game re the stick Holden got at the start of the season. Bit of needle between dc and liam keen too?

Or,we lost the toss…:grinning:

Wes’s goal reminded me of his first for us (coincidentally, in the away game at Crawley) so I dug out those highlights to see how similar they were. I was also thinking shoe-in for Goal of the Season but then watching these highlights again there was another in that game that had slipped my mind and that also has a good shout. Pity we can’t play Crawley every game!

I think its good too hear DC admit he got holden on the winger was wrong…He wasn’t much cop out there behind the front 2 hes a much better player, Still a little lightweight with tackles but much better and DC has realised that has come out and admitted it!

DC and Liam Keen seem too have a good rapor going tbh, Bit of light banter too keep them both going and TBH Liam has done a cracking job since taking over from massi
