Beat me to it



Nouble and Johnson made a difference obviously, but massive praise to the manager for making so many changes and motivating them at HT.

If that can't motivate some people up to the Ricoh I don't know what will.

I don't think anyone hates Pressley, but after our shocking run questions were being asked and rightly so imo. Fair play to him today, must have been difficult to motivate them at HT, especially considering the run we've been on.

Let's not get carried away. We need seven or eight more wins to get back to where we were.

Cracking second half come back. Not good enough playing for 1 half, and only turning it on when we're 2 nil down

Just done emotions of a football game in 10 mins.

Had no choice but to go out. Started reading the thread when the game was about over. Normal 'shit'....'f*ck me hope we don't let too many in......then WOW.

Well done lads. And celebrating now. And my normal bet has come in for the first time this season. £5 at 33/1 :guitar2:

What a performance in the 2nd half. Hopefully that gives them the confidence to kick on and start picking up points.

To get this result they've had to show everything they've lacked in the previous 7 games. No idea where they got it from but let's keep showing it.

Correct and of nouble hadn't been in the team we would have lost - we can't rely on one forward to play and perform every week.

As Carsley said, confidence was low and that's the greatest thing that restricts performance in sport. As the Goon Show often used to say, "it's all in the mind, you know"

It's great credit to Pressley that he got their heads up. A very determined performance-I love Nouble celebrating Jackson winning a throw in the last minute as if we'd scored a goal!

True enough, but how would Mark Robins have fared without DMC in his side?


Listening to Pressley, I love that Nouble said he didn't want to come off, despite his lack of fitness. That is just the sort of attitude that you want from a player and it's often lacking from loan signings.

Fantastic 3 points. Going home smiling for a change.

At HT if you'd said we'd score 1 never mind 3 I'd have laughed. Recall didn't see that coming. Just a shame we always seem to need to get through a dire first half before we wake up.

Much needed 3 points and hopefully we can kick start from here.

Nouble could fast become a fan's favourite. Great attitude shown by him. We need more of that at this club!

Well done lads. Great comeback and win. I did not think Johnson or Nouble would play and I'm sure neither was fully match-fit. Hopefully, we can now stay relatively free of injuries for a while.

What a fantastic game that was. I was looking forward to reading the match thread too! Those who "couldn't be arsed" missed a classic today.

Exactly, the fight from Nouble and Johnson seemed to spread to the rest. Confidence grew and you could see Thomas and J'OB come into it with some great tackles.

Anybody else see the guy in the family stand get kicked out for being drunk and gobbing off at his missus? Bet he is gutted as it was when we were 2-0 down!

Exactly, it was the fight we have lacked in the second half. Whatever was said, record it and play it every week!

I wonder whether Reda being there to speak out as captain had any bearing on the second half performance? Seemed to be the one getting the FT huddle started too. Good to see from your captain

Love the interviews with Reda and Nouble. Both sound like important character's. Nouble: "there's some naivety in the side, but you've got to go out and make it happen for yourself, that's what I've learned wherever I've been". And on the huddle: "Ha, yeah, I dunno where that came from, but the adrenalin was up and the manager came on...we've been losing...but you've got to enjoy it when you win, man". On his non-substitution, "I was tired, but he kept asking me and I said "No. I'm not coming off."".
