What did everybody think of the game?
I personally think the first half was a shambles as usual, second half picked up and had a lot of good chances, and a really great goal, but still quite a way from the standard of football I hoped we would be playing from day 1.

Terrible performance up until the goal, then we started to improve.
We definitely tried to keep it on the deck and our movement and commitment was pleasing.
Onwards and upwards. (hopefullly)

I don't know if I would say awful, we had 16 shots to their 6, and we didn't let them get a single shot on target, most of their chances were from the edge of a crowded box.
And yeah I think once we scored that goal the atmosphere totally changed and we started to play with a bit of momentum! However I know it is only Telford

Cagey and pretty dire up until the goal. Then something just clicked. Space opened up and the players seemed to look a bit more composed. Amazing what a goal can do. Big test is on Monday. Thankful for the three points and that I can enjoy my Sunday!
Telford were awful btw. No disrespect, but they were one of the worst teams to ever come to the MEM. I'm not sure what that says about us though...

Is the problem just confidence?

Possibly the worst defensive performance for many a year
Monkhouse was a complete joke
the front 2 looked good up against a very very poor defence
think we will be stuffed on Monday if we play like that again

Yes .... What a difference a goal makes.
I actually get it after today that the players are way too tense ... stressed to the eyeballs about crowd reaction.
Go a goal ahead in a game and we could shine .... go behind and who knows what will happen.
Really think we need to up our game in supporting them.

Great goal from Ollie.
The team don't look strong enough,had a couple of decent moments,did'nt create enough chances.
The ball bounces in mysterious ways,you never know but I wouldn't be surprised if 'the Forest of Nailsworth' put 3 past us.

Pretty much going to echo what else has been said. Poor up until the goal, then not too shabby. How Parkes played 90 minutes is beyond me because he was shocking. I think I heard Mansell scream "get him off" to the bench but admittedly, I may have misheard him.

I thought Harrison looked sharp when he came on, I know Clark scored, but centre midfield doesn't exist. No wonder the CBs look vulnerable and panicky.

I Have supported my team for 50 years man & boy and during that time i have watched some shocking performances. i was asked by the OP what i thought about THAT performance and it was shocking. That is completely different to supporting my team I WILL NEVER BOO or DEGRADE the players during the game but encourage them to do better, unlike some so called supporters of our club |

There were also times where there were no communication between keeper and defence! Bright sparks for me is that Taylor look a footballer and I felt for him a bit because of lack of service!! Trottman looks like with a few regular games could be very solid and I think when ellis came on all be it for a short time thinks he's just gunna have a laugh with a few defenders which will maybe a good thing as I don't think he really cares. All in all we desperately needed 3 points today and got it but I feel we will get a hiding come Monday and I'm sorry to sound all doom and gloom but for 60 minutes we were very poor! UTG |
