Agressive steward on highlights
Look at the highlights and notice the rather aggressive shove by a matchday steward on Frank Nouble while he was celebrating his goal. Way back when I was a steward at City in the old Highfield Road days one thing you were told is never to touch players. I remember one of ours grabbing Ian Wright on the shoulder while he was milking applause for scoring the winner for Arsenal and he was pretty well instantly sacked by Graham Hover.

both o'brien and samuels sold their markers and that was integral to the first goal. well done both of them!
The stewards shouldn't be touching the players ever but the players do worse to each other during goal celebrations than that. Can't believe we're even discussing it!
Underneath the video of last nights highlights is a picture gallery.
Photo number 8 of 24 suggests that Frank Nouble is contesting possession with a Fleetwood player.
it is clearly Adam Barton.
Easy mistake to make!

What a great feeling to leave a game as a winner. 
Floated all the way back to Wigan
But what a difference in the players since I last saw them at Preston and last night at Fleetwood. Attacking flowing football, at times, and I think every player came up to congratulate Samuels on his goal - much improved team spirit I think.

The most impressive part of the first goal is that 3 weeks ago, the first players touch would have been to go backwards where as now it was to shift the balance and move forward, the same then with JOB. We have sat all year saying we need to move the ball forward quicker so defences and midfield don't have time to adjust and straighten the back line.
Thats a generalisation, one I concur with wholeheartedly! The steward looked like a character off of Pheonix Nights.
imagine him pushing Mick Quinn or Cyrille like that!!
The 2nd goal is exactly the kind that only comes about if the striker wants it enough, great to see Nouble do this twice in a week.
Nouble seemed a bit slow to follow in on that second goal. A more alert GK would have grabbed it.
Think he was preparing for his celebratory dance, but then thought 'oh shit, it's hit the post' then got took out after the keeper tried to jump on it.
they all count though, no matter how sloppy
What has what the players do to each other got to do with what a steward did. At all.
