How the f*** we won that I’ll never know

Sat Oct 18, 2025 6:42 pm

But, win we did.

Top of the league and results don’t lie.

Think we can be so much better so all in all we’re in a very good place.

Compared to the other relegated teams, who would all bite their hands off to be where we are, we’re doing amazingly well.

Still not sure whether it’s luck or just our quality in key areas mind….

I think it's fear.

We have the biggest stadium in the league, we have players like Callum Robinson coming off the bench.

That strikes fear into opponents.

So many teams will buckle because of the fear.

Credit to the manager for making very affective substitutions when needed.
In addition, incredible performances by Trott, in goal and a few spectacular goal line clearances by one or two defenders have saved us in recent matches.
Certainly exciting to watch this season, but we wouldn't get away with this in a higher league!

The quality we have up front, in goals and in a couple of other positions is making the difference in tight games.

The quality other teams don’t have in those same positions is letting us get away with it I think.

Also the crowd when we’re attacking that Canton I genuinely believe is having a massive effect on us and our opponents

To be fair reading where the better side the chances they created they should be going up the m4 with st least a point they probably should have won the game but that’s the way it goes we had to defend and our keeper once again pulled of some great saves I’ll take this result all day long we scored to good goals and fought back well

Canton has seemed quiet from the family stand. I thought it would have been loud and continous after the equaliser but it didn't seem like anything got going.

To be fair the game was quiet tense at times but the canton stand did was tense with it but rallied when they needed to

We have played loads better and lost it's a crazy game football but we will be having a good hiding soon I'm sure if this carrys on can't be the keeper getting man of the match every game :lol:

He's got to change the system or something from the off playing 1 up top on his own more or less and nobody around him first half just couldn't get my head around it Vs 3rd from bottom of the league but tinkerman sets up every game the same way even when you can see it's not working if it wasn't for the goalkeeper today we could of been on a doubles figures beating tbh :bluescarf:

Don’t disagree but struggling with ‘Tinkerman’ and ‘sets up every game the same way’ in the same sentence :lol:

We scored more :D

Didn’t get to see the game due to my little one’s birthday party. So can’t comment on how we played, but a wins a win. Back to back league wins though.

By all accounts the subs changed the game so credit to BBM for that.

We are top of the league!!!

Trott.

That’s how we won it and a bit of help from Fish.

Not to mention Salech and Kellyman scoring.

Also some great defending from Chambers.

Sets up the same system the same shape every game we start of the exact same but tinkerman loves to change 4 or 5 players every game who didn't play the last league game irrelevant of result or how they done I've noticed :bluescarf:

Last time I checked, we were awarded 3 points for our scoring a plucky Reading! :thumbup: :ayatollah:

It’s almost like it’s their job.

Not for the first time. We picked up points at Port Vale, Wimbledon, Stockport, Orient and today where we were "lucky" to. I cant fathom out whether its luck or a quality to strike when it matters. Though having the best keeper in the League helps

We are winning games for a few reasons we seem to be finding it easy to score is a huge one and the other is Trott is fantastic

Fortunately our strikers have been doing their jobs of late.
