Try going to t'fishy....then Bristol V STANLEY....'read more'...at the end of the report you'll see..,'match coverage'.....click on text coverage !!.

Worked for me, but there's nowt much on it as yet !!.

Hope you're well old friend...KTF.
 
0-0 Half time powder puff attack it seems, but whats new.:)still cant complain defence is doing usual good job.
 
Another clean sheet. Guarantees points every week, I'll take 1 0 victories for the rest of the season though!
 
Looking forward to some match reports, had to endure 18 holes of golf in Spain,despite the glorious sun,would have sooner been at Bristol 😂😂😂
 
GREAT RESULT :signbeer:
Chuffed for BILLY to get on the scoresheet.
Could give Coley a selection headache for next week though?
DEFENCE STILL SOLID AS A ROCK EH?
Sounds like we deserved the 3 points from the initial reports!
WELL DONE STANLEY:wave8::theband:
COME ON YOU REDS:cheers:
 
Well done Stanley good 3 pts clean sheet plus goal difference when did we last have one of those agree selection headache for Coley 1 definate out Crooks,y 5 yellow cards 1 match ban gives somebody else a chance, need a home win next week to really get the season going and make the Wham a fortress.
PS well done Billy.
 
Blackpool sleaze trip back on next season :)

Stanley were by far the longest odds on a short accumulator I put on, so ended up earning me a few hundred, basing it on the last visit and being due a win and all that.
 
Great to see Coley made 2 attacking subs with long enough to go to make a difference. Will have to see if the travelling faithful agree with him when he says Terry led the line brilliantly. However, even the Brizzle fans reckon he should have had a nailed on penalty with their player sent off too!
 
Not the greatest of games - the swirling wind made it difficult for both sides. The substitutions made a huge difference for us. McConville had been totally anonymous but Shay McCartan was a threat every time he received the ball. He was denied a goal by a great save from the Brizzle keeper. And Billy Kee was an improvement on a disappointing Josh Windass. How Matt Crooks missed the sitter at the end is beyond comprehension. Difficult to nominate MotM - it was a gutsy team performance. If pressed, I would give it to Adam Buxton. Some good defending by him, some quality runs forward - and he took the corner from which we scored.

The downside for me was the tactical decision to defend the one goal lead. That only encouraged Brizzle to come at us. In those circumstances, I can see no point in bringing all 11 players back when the opposition has a corner. It makes for a very crowded penalty area - just one slip or push and a penalty can be given away so easily. It also makes it far more difficult for the keeper to come to gather the ball. To my mind, it would have made far more sense to keep Piero and/or Shay up front when the opposition has a corner. That would occupy at least two of the opposition. When no-one is left upfield, any clearance is bound to come straight back at us. But what do I know? I ain't got a coaching badge!

Football19 Mark 2 ???...I am impressed !. Almost as impressed as I am with our team's achievements so far !. In particular the clean sheets, which must instill a great deal of confidence in the team as a whole, and provide no end of satisfaction for the Manager !.
Look forward to the visit of Exeter City next Saturday, should be a strong challenge for the REDS, and just might attract a few more fans !...
KTF.
