I saw you standing up near the end Tommy, and you probably had one of the best views in the house where you were! I was in row J and the view was really really poor. I don't mind being near pitch level, as long as you're actually naked-eye distance from the pitch!</font>
oh poor you!
i was in row s and couldn't see all of rowly's run or what happened for their goal.
good grief their ground is crap. atmosphere disappered into the heavens, what you get with open grounds. i hope wembly will do away with unnecessary running tracks. being almost pitch side at the brook road end is much better than some crows nest position, without complimentary binoculars.
oh, and did some brighton bloke steal the studs from our boots. we were worse than bambi on ice skates.
great game, BTW, first half, they only had one decent chance with training ground move that zamora hit straight at oli, otherwise bees defence was sound. we looked really useful on the counter, and dare i say it, gibbo wasn't crap. infact he did a few things constructive like pass to his team mates, almost score with a belter, and worked well down the left in a prefered advanced position. and on the right, rowly played like a b@st@rd, and scored an apparently decent goal (which i couldn't see)
second half, they changed things about as someone has noted and looked good. they showed that pricey isn't really a right back, frequently attacking down our left. theri goal was lucky, but came after a fair bit of pressure. but we fought back, gav assured in midfield, and ivar godlike at the back. he scored a decent goal capitalising on a schoolboy error and travelling bees went bananas. the ref, i think played 14 mins of injury time or so it seemed but we were solid. owusu was rudely adjudged to have fouled in a 50/50 with their CB when we could have sealed it.
oli 7 nervous after the parry but dealt with things well.
price 6 not a right back, but did ok
ijah 7 looked good, will be missed with suspension
ivar 9 fab. they didn't have a chance, and scored a beaut
powell 8 had zamora in his pocket
rowly 8 more like this bud, and you'll be with BBB in eire.
gibbo 7 looks better when not defending, inlucky not to score.
evo 7 a bit quiet i thought
mahon 7 looked better in 2nd half (again), harried well
owusu 7.5 excellent running, must be on diet of weetabix
o'connor 6 seemed to be auditioning for swan lake, but should have scored in 1st with one on one.
willo 6. usual running bit, came on fro injured rowly
