Agree that Bennie shows similarities to Ainsworth and that thunderbolt yesterday was trademark Gareth.
The other player he reminds me of is Stuart Wardley. Limited technical ability but a great eye for goal. Bennie's had some close efforts in previous first team appearances and his goal scoring record for the Development side is very impressive. He's certainly not scared to have a shot and I think he can be a useful member of our first team squad in years to come and would be improved further by the right loan next season. |

Loved him in the first two Godfather films & Tender Mercies.
RIP. |

Very frustrating series of results against the weaker teams which shows how reliant we are on key players such as Chair and Burrell. Unless we get them back soon I suspect we will have a very disappointing end to the season.
Thanks for the report. Spot on as always. |

Thanks Jamie. Comprehensive report which was a very fair reflection of the game. Sounds like a lot of hassle getting into and away from the ground. Glad I gave it a miss. |

Thanks Clive. Very enjoyable reading that report and reliving a wonderful afternoon.
Definitely our best full match team performance this season. Agree with lots of 7's and your two 8's in the ratings. Difficult choice between Kone & Madsen for MOTM as both were outstanding. I think Madsen edged it thanks to his positive attitude in retrieving the ball after the equaliser, but totally understand many fans opting for Kone. A nice debate to have. |

I'm a big fan of this tactic as it really annoys me when teams bring everyone back to defend corners. Invariably if the ball gets cleared the opponents have another chance to launch it into the box with their big men still up and keep the pressure on.
I think it suits us well as we invariably have a least two small players (perm any 2 from Chair, Smyth, Dembele, Saito & Poku) on the pitch at any time. They offer very little defensively at corners but could be a real threat on the break.
I think two left up is sufficient and means the penalty box is less congested for defending the corner, but all credit to Stephan for really going for it yesterday with three left up front. It worked well and long may it continue. |

Two high quality reports on the last two dreadful matches.
Your efforts are very much appreciated. |

The 'head-it-and-kick-it centre back performance for the ages from Jimmy Dunne' reminded me so much of the one by his countryman and namesake Richard in the Play-Off Final. Great to have him leading the team by example. |

Fantastic save. Bearing in mind the match time, it probably ensured them an extra two points, which could make all the difference at the end of the season. |
