According to the BBC, we had 31 shots, and 14 on target! 😱 WTAF? Remember when we were shot-shy?
What a superb performance tonight. Anything less than a win would have been a travesty. Their keeper was immense, and also a time-wasting schmuck. The ref thought it was all about him. Lolos is awesome. Thought Will Wright had a brilliant game. So happy for Adeyemo to get the winner.
Yes, a thoroughly deserved win, and we hit the bar once in each half. However, we did look vulnerable at times against pacey strikers, and it was only the red card that forced them into being less expansive.

Mukena in for Conroy, Campbell in for Kelly. Otherwise Same Team as Saturday. But who is playing central midfield with WilliamS? not sure of the formation tonight now.
I think Darcy has been playing there in Kelly’s absence.
Great win and comeback considering relative young age and inexperience of our players. No Gladwin,Conroy, or Liam Kelly so Jay Williams given captaincy (to give responsibility so cooler head? - seemed to work). Up to 9th, two points off playoffs with games in hand.
As said already, their keeper was simply outstanding, 7 saves of high quality I counted, how Lolos didn’t score at least 4 I do not know - 4 saves plus he hit the bar as well. Was convinced that the early save from him had set the tone as “one of those nights”, even more so with a couple of those second half saves. Was trying to console myself that 5 points off the playoffs with 2 games in hand was still ok, and we were still not out of it…but we kept going, sending-off lifted the crowd and forced them to change their tactics and take off Jones (21 assists this season!!😮😮😮) so it was then likely to be all one-way traffic, and a case of could we find a way through and past Slocombe…twice preferably!!😀👍

Very good point - 3 very key players missing, and not forgetting Tsaroulla on the bench too.

My Favourite part of tonight was how we continued to attack after going 2-1 up,and didnt sit back. That for me was the most impressive part of tonight, coupled with the fact that Lolos now has had '6' shots in each of his last 3 matches. Many Top Strikers would be pleased with that stat.
