Looking at the back pages of several newspapers, and watching/listening to the TV media, the talk of the day is centred around 'El Classico' the Game of the Day !!.
As would be expected I, in my dotage, immediately construed that the pundits were referring to today's clash at t'Globe between JB's young bloods and JB's Shrimps !...Imagine my disappointment, when it finally seeped through the early-morning fog, that the game referred to was a match between two minor Clubs somewhere in Spain !!.
BUT...It will be OUR 'El Classico'....and I'll be looking forward to a goal or two from our strikers, the usual sterling display from our Goalkeeper and the defence in front of him,
a true display of leadership from our Captain (?), and tigerish tackling, ball winning, and imaginative passing from him and the rest of the midfield.......PLUS another animated display (?) and wise substitutions from our Manager !!.
Not too much to ask really !!.
'El Classico'....here I come ! (See you there.)
 
fantastic!!!

i was sat in a car show room and saw the late late score pop up and i was like woohoo!!!

customers must've thought someone got a good deal *LOL*

great result - seemingly turned the corner - and now we can go forward from here... we've had our bad patch. time to turn on the style!!!
 
Well deserved 3Pts Morecambe had only 25% of the game in my view, 10/12 mins aint much to judge, but the new lad looked very useful to me, Sod what faith Davo puts in 100s of Walsall fans, Which is obviously a big exaggeration :rolleyes: Not a lot new yon though.
 
Cracking result is that unbeaten in 4 games now? 8 points out of 12? We will only get stronger with Kayode returning from suspension as well :-)
 
Great battling team performance against a right pack of horrible t#$ts.

How did the keeper not get a card for the challenge on Gray?!?!?

Thought Winnard, Betonelli, Aldred and Joyce did really well, with Hunt, Naylor and gray not far behind but big credit to all the lads
 
Good to see, hopefully now the Boys would've had a boost of confidence with the last couple of results, surely it can only encourage them to bigger & better things. Crack on lads, crack on! :)

Me to but I was working :D
 
So it wasn't THE 'El Classico'.....but our 'El Classico' if not the right game produced the right result...and well-deserved it was too !.
OK there were one or two individual gaffes which almost cost the team dearly, but one can excuse these in light of the overall performance.
Pointless going into details, I agree with Frank and Cashy's summing up of individual efforts, but we shouldn't forget to throw a bouquet in JB's direction. Seems that he's managed to not only get his team acting as a unit, but also injected some 'steel' into their play which shows in their tackles and refusal to give up the ball too easily.
Spare a thought for Jim and his Shrimps who were well and truly 'potted'........AGAIN !!....
 
A grand day out! Yet again the Shrimps were shown up as lacking the passion required to come out on top of these local derbies as the boys outfought them all over the pitch. You've got to hand it to Peter Murphy, who makes up for what he lacks in sophistication with his bravery, 100% commitment and uncanny ability to get into the box and hurt the opposition. As usual, a lot of ugly bitterness tonight on the Shrimps message board, but not unexpected. Christies Child's posts, although more balanced than most, really made me laugh when he complained about Paddy not getting a penalty when pushed from behind. Our forwards were repeatedly elbowed to the ground by Parrish, Diagne and co., but I suppose you only see what you want to see.
I really hope that Kayode starts on Saturday, and would like to see more of Bowerman up front as he looks like he could be a real asset.

It seems to me we now have a striker problem of the good kind.

Kayode, Webber, Gray, Bowerman.

Shame none of them can play in midfield.
 
The one thing that overshadowed the game was the quality of the pies!!,they must be the best in England,and that's from a wiganer :)Was interested how that set up (heard some good reports),it seemed to be a 4-1-2-3,which made them very narrow,but we dominated possession and territory for the first half by simply using our fullbacks and wide men.
They had to change and went 4-3-3,and to be fair got back into the game.
In the end we probably shaded it with a performance based on the old Acci spirit.
The twenty man brawl in the tunnel would have made good viewing tho ! :)
