Fantastic win today. The boys deserve a lot of credit- although I hope the Jack isn't too hard on Tyrique. Interesting that their manager didn't give us much credit today- it was all about how awful his team were.

Good summary of the game by Jack Wells My observations 1) The improvement in Rocko 2) Our ability to see out the game in the second half when under pressure from AFC Dunstable. 3) Our back 4 cutting out lots of chances created by AFC Dunstable. 4) The improvement in team play, knowing where a team mate will be to receive a pass thus reducing thinking time. 5) The shots on goal saved by their keeper in the first half.

Yeah great to hang on there at the end and what a relief to not think that Woody and the Keeper were the outstanding players for once! Why do you think Jack would be hard on him? I've just watched the interview and he doesn't mention him. I think Jack was spot on when he said that we would have lost or drawn that last month. Who cares what their manager says... Up the ducks!

Probably for getting a silly first yellow card, which led to a red for a 50/50 challenge. Credit to the rest of the team that they overcame that disappointment and defended manfully to secure the 3 points - even though we did sit VERY deep in the last 20 minutes.
Made me smile that their keeper got MoM - granted that first half he made 2 or 3 top class saves, but twice those saves led to corners that we scored from. However, in the second half, the only thing he did was charge off his line to clear the ball that earned Tyriq that second yellow.
I thought that first half we were very good, especially in the first 30 minutes. Rocko and Hayden outstanding and how grateful are we to have a player like Dave Pearce who can deliver a corner on a sixpence!

Tyrique will know his first yellow card was a daft one, he doesn’t need a telling off from anyone about it. He’s a top player who looks a bit frustrated at his slow start to the season, I hope he sticks with us and we stick with him to get through it as we saw last year what an asset he can be.
Really pleased with the result yesterday. The Woody - Derek - Lynny triangle in front of our own goal could prove to be the difference in many games to come.

Just about recovered from yesterday - must have been at least 60 minutes of waves of attacks and not much ducks possession we had to contend with. That said considering that long period of constant defending Dunstable didn't actually create many clear cut chances as usually once the ball got into the final 3rd we duly defended it well. Outside of them scoring you could say that the best chance of the 2nd half fell to Alfie Attrill who narrowly put a good chance wide.
Ty was unlucky in my opinion. First yellow was silly but he was frustrated for being judged by the ref to have committed a foul which wasn't the case when the defender was fouling him - however silly to hold onto the ball like that and he should know better. I do find refs to usually judge him to be at fault in 50:50 situations or even 40:60, 30:70 situations - and that must be very frustrating. The second yellow was a 50:50 and the ball was there to be won, particularly with the keeper so far out of his box. I do wonder if that was any other player than the keeper whether it would have just been a foul.....?
By all accounts from those behind the goal it should have been 3-0 at half time as the ball had clearly crossed the line from Pearce but not given. Perhaps at 3-0 it would have been an easier 2nd half to contend with.
As already said what a difference it is to have Pearce who can put in a good corner, and it sounds like Gurts in particular is putting a lot of effort into set piece routines which are paying dividends this season. Pearce for the 2nd time in a week was targeted by an awful challenge.
Hayden and Rocko were outstanding in the first half - given they are 17 and 19 years old that is very promising.
Del Feyi was immense in defence with a goal and an assist too. That press he did all by himself at the end was fantastic. Lynny was excellent in the hole and gave us a bit more strength in there.
Looking forward to seeing us versus against some teams in the bottom half to see how we fare. All the teams we have played in the league are in the top half, and next week we go to 5th place!

Great result after a poor performance against cirencester!! Got to give it to the players for there hard work but definitely the manager for making some personel changes i thought hayden gave us a brain and workrate in the middle with link up play with the wingers!! Pearce is by far our most important player next to the goally but give him 60 and change him instead off putting Tyriq on wing first!! Although the false 9 is working i really would like tyriq to get some starts to build his confidence so as our plan b has more substance!! Also would like to say Lynn plated well against cirencester and gave the manager a decision which actually really changed things his distribution is very good!! Be good to get at least 4 more points this month 6 be amazing coyd
