Love that first half.

We will tire with that press and hopefully their full backs will.

A huge half coming up.

If we get 3 points here it could be another turning point in the season

 

[stupot07]

Good half. Sakamoto's work rate is unbelievable.

 

[mark82]

Good first half. Need to keep this intensity up. Not easy to do.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Make life uncomfortable for them, knock them out of their stride.
Pressure them and win the ball high up, flood the box like we did October November.

Exactly this.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Retrospective ban for the boro player surely, sky will go mad about it surely oh wait it wasn't us

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Very good first half , expecting Esse to be a threat when he comes on

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Best half since saints away first half
Saka exceptional
Onyeke gets around so quick
They’re a bunch of Fuckin whiners aren’t they

 

[hologram]

10 times better than recently. Tats superb

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Brilliant first half performance, incredible intensity and desire.

Only complaint would be if only we’d played this even a couple of times over the last two months we’d probably be about 12 points clear of 3rd.

 

[Shannerz]

First 35 minutes of that were insanely good. Saka, EMC, Wright, Rudoni and Onyeka all superb. Utterly dominant and deserve to be further ahead.

 

[shmmeee]

Take that. Got some bollocks in us for a change. I’m happy if we keep this up regardless of final score.

Not that bad TBF.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Wonder why we couldn't have played like this for the last month or so.

 

[Jamesimus]

Lads putting in a shift. So far we are the better team but Boro very neat and tidy on the ball. Hopefully we can keep up the intensity in the 2nd half.

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

What a fucking first half, finally looking like the CCFC of the first half of the season. Everyone looks so fucking up for it, Boro are a soft touch and we're taking advantage.

Wright, Onyeka, JDS, Rudoni, Sakamoto, Latibeaudiere all superb.

I don't know how much more my heart can take

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Good half. Sakamoto's work rate is unbelievable.

First name on the team sheet for me, can't believe some question his place. Was by far are best player in last seasons play off semi final as well

 

[Corrado]

Where has THIS COV been for the past 2 months?

 

[Nick]

Best half since saints away first half
Saka exceptional
Onyeke gets around so quick
They’re a bunch of Fuckin whiners aren’t they

Ref falls for it though

 

[Liquid Gold]

Really good game of football with plenty of needle.

I feel like we've done the right thing by getting into their heads, they're trying to play our players instead of their game. Need to do it again second half.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Take that. Got some bollocks in us for a change. I’m happy if we keep this up regardless of final score.

Nope result so important too

 

[TomRad85]

Great half from the boys. Boro more of the ball but we were far more dangerous. Hoping we can go 2-0 asap or my arse is going to be flapping non stop for quite a while.

 

[gspotgaz]

How good was sakamoto there. Absolute beast. Onyeka looks just what we need too, shame he’s on a booking and hopefully he doesn’t fall bait to their attempts to get him sent off second half

 

[Para1140]

Tats mom so far. Dasilva and Latty scare me at the back but a great start by everyone and nice to see us being a bit more sggresive and getting stuck in which has flustered Boro

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

We're gonna need a second for sure, whatever happens we can't afford to lose from this position. Would be a huge psychological blow to lose from here

Depends though. He's giving them free kicks whenever they hit the deck

 

[Liquid Gold]

EMC has been excellent apart from his end product.

Couple of times if he had his head up we'd have had a goal.

He does amazingly well to get into the positions though.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Love that first half.

We will tire with that press and hopefully their full backs will.

That’s when we can bring the likes of Esse and Markelo on.

 

[mark82]

Nope result so important too

If we play like this for the remainder of the season we'll go up.

 

[steve101]

Wow. Best 45 for a long, long time. Sakamoto has been phenomenal. Wright and Rudoni best games for a while. Thomas, best game for a while. Lati carried on where he left off - deserves to start. And the tank has added the much needed guile that makes us competitive in the centre again. Brilliant so far.

 

[Briles]

You can tell how much more confident we are with the Tank at cm. We arent scared of turnovers

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Depends though. He's giving them free kicks whenever they hit the deck

Apart from when emc went straight through

 

[PaulPUSB]

Saka, amazing footwork just before the goal.... if i have one gripe it would be Rushworths distribition needs to be a tad better.

Need to be smart too. No silly nonsense

 

[Liquid Gold]

The idea of Esse for half an hour after you've dealt with EMC/Saka for an hour must shit any fullback up
