One thing Steve, Balanta's substitution was not tactical, he was injured, no other reason to sit on a pack of ice. agree with the rest though

Of course there was an element of tactics involved in the sub, he put OC on and changed the shape.
He could've just put Harrison on and left it as it was, but he didn't.

Very interesting as ever. Only thing I've noticed is that you seem quite harsh on goalies! I thought that Speiss had a really good game last night. Did he have a save to make mate? I think that he made a first-class save in the opening minute or so, when he turned a low shot around his left-hand post. The ball looked as though it might just creep inside the post. What a start that would have been for us, eh? Mind you, he did inadvertently ''crock'' poor old Mark McChrystal. Perhaps he was docked a point for that.

Great report mate. Just shows how totally key our main 3 players are Parkes, Mansell, Sinclair. I thought all were excellent after the first 25 mins. However quite a few passengers too! Tom Lockyer worth more than 4 - he got no help down our left at all and defends manfully and is getting better going forward, even had a shot! Word for the referee. I thought he was excellent, can't recall a fussy decision or one he really got wrong. Lots of our fans think we should get every decision. I thought he let the game flow and allowed no nonsense - 7 or 8 for me. The best this season and one who will go on to the FL soon. Great win, too many not at their best for long spells and insufficient quality up front and wide - our age old problem innit? Can't agree about the ref,he got the free kick for our goal wrong,he also gave them two free kicks on the edge of our box near the end that were bad decisions,and he appeared unfit and struggled to keep up with play.

Always feel Steve gets his reports pretty much spot on, with how I see the game anyway, don't feel very confident with Spiess in goal at the moment, but hopefully he'll improve before Mildenhall is back.
Gateshead, with how they were trying to play, it was only a matter of time they would make a mistake and let us in you can't knock it about the back 5 for 90 minutes and not slip up eventually!

Good report as always Steve..
I think the dealings we do in January are massively important ...
Winners for me on Friday night ... Parkes, Mansell , Sinclair, Trotman + DC
Losers ... Balanta ( huge disappointment) Taylor,
Also Rans ... Brown, Lockyer, McCrystal, Clarke, Monkhouse, Wall, Speiss
I dont see us getting promoted until we have at least three more winners who can help carry the team

I wonder if there's an Andy Rammell type out there warming a bench somewhere. That's what we could do with - a solid veteran performer from a higher level dropping a division or 2 for a decent paycheck and one last nothing to lose crack at a bit of glory.
