At least we are off the mark on the wins count.
I think it's generally always quieter when it's been an away game a fair distance away.... Hard to give too much of an opinion if you haven't seen the game (or alternatively haven't got back home yet). Good to be off the mark as far as wins are concerned.
Just got home (live up north). Don't get too excited boys, but a win is a win. Have to say they are really poor. Brown did not have one save to make all match. We did what we had to, but we just don't look right, don't know what it is but something is just not working at the moment. Still 3 points in the bag.

just back - same old story ...... need goals
Looks like we set out our stall to be more solid in defence and not concede. We kept a clean sheet and manager must be pleased with this. I suspect that he would have been happy with this and 0-0 score so scoring a goal and nicking all three points is a result! Perhaps not the most entertaining game but exactly what was required at this stage.

We didn't create that many chances, but overall we deserved to win. There was little penetration in final third of the field by CTFC, but Stanley created nothing and with 1000 home fans there and a suspended Chief Exec difficult to see anything other than a relegation struggle for them. At the back I thought Elliott had an excellent second half winning everything in the air and making many winning tackles and challenges - immense.
I understand the frustration with the Plymouth result a week ago - but I wonder if Plymouth might be in shake up at season end...

Match did sound shocking; not convinced this team is capable of top 10. I'm sure a story will arise of flying toast in the near future.Nesty wrote:Havent been able to comment - hectic day yesterday, was not at the match, sounded dire, but 3 points are 3 points. MY brave enough to make changes and got it right by shoring up CM. Pleased for Taylor.
Whenever we play teams at the bottom it's always been dire, Hereford, Aldershot and Maccesfield spring to mind as particularly dire games. The only problem was that we never managed to get all 3 points because we couldn't battle through it, MY played the right team to do that.
