Now now, lets not get ahead of ourselves!! Razz

This is a potential banana skin of a game... They've won their last 2 in the league (against 2 bottom 4 teams, mind) so they are no pushovers.

I'll take a draw for this one!

I don't expect any sort of negative comment from you Laughing

the last time this sort of situation went on we played Bury 3 times in 3 games strait off and it was a strange ols one as well it was 5-0 at home to us 5-0 away to them and 4-0 at home to us as fare as i can remember lol

by **yorkie64red** Wed 28 Nov - 9:24:25

Bloody horrible cold night but what a result...we made hard work of it but upto second we go.... cheers

by **hoolahoop** Wed 28 Nov - 9:46:33

True it was a foul night but a good result from what was a pretty mediocre display overall.
Again we let the away team push us back continually......tonight we got away with it. Smile

by Dagenham Rover Wed 28 Nov - 11:06:02

I'll take the 3 points thank you very much Smile

and through a sort of long story me and the lad are going on Saturday .....which after tonights antics might just prove very interesting

by dickos1 Wed 28 Nov - 11:07:46

I don't agree with that, thought they came for a draw and sat back. Can't remember woods making a save whereas we had 3 or 4 very good chances.
I hate stats but tonight we had 21 attempts at goal to their 9 and 11 corners to their 3 cheers

They certainly didn't push us back continually,
Anyhow another good win, and our home form is one of best In league now.
It's a funny old game saint

Sorry to disagree (once again), they surprised me and defended very well. Personally I was surprised at how for quite long periods they completely stifled us especially in midfield. Their keeper looked totally unruffled until the final quarter of the game but was finally caught out by some very quick thinking by Cotts ; after that it all went downhill from there for him. He was still feeling embarrassed/angry about the goal he needlessly conceeded and the night went downhill from thereon .......he saw red and finally got a red.
Agreed they came for a draw with a chance to perhaps snatch a goal but the game had 0-0 written all over it until that free kick. A good 3 points under the circumstances and 2nd. place. I'll take that thanks, it's just a shame that Hume got a red too........he played out of his skin all night.
21 shots maybe but how many of them were even close to scoring dickos ?

by pkt_drfc Wed 28 Nov - 22:00:36

Can we call this an ugly win ? I think we can but we got the 3 points so no biggie I felt once the crowd started getting there voices heard it deffo spurred the players on oh and it was bloody freezing last night . But don't you just love looking at the table at the minute. cheers

by dickos1 Wed 28 Nov - 22:08:50

I'd say 5 including the goal hoola

by SkellowRover Wed 28 Nov - 23:04:20

Ok here's how it came across on player and the views of the commentators...

Oldham came for a draw and stifled us for most of the match. We sat too deep and struggled to break them down apart from a 10-15 minute spell where we created a few chances (2 cleared off the line) and also scored. Not the best of games to watch and apart from that short spell we were rather poor and performance was like most home games this season.

Also what happened to the 27-1 i predicted? Bloody rubbish rovers lol.

by dickos1 Thu 29 Nov - 2:51:53

It wasn't the best game, but it was an improved performance on previous home games other than scunny.
We had 2 cleared off the line, and browny missed a one on one, whereas woods didn't have a save to make that I can remember.

by Dagenham Rover Thu 29 Nov - 3:57:37

A wins a wins a win so to speak.

I quite like this winning lark Smile
