Credit where its due. WAGMI delivered. SL delivered. The players delivered. League 1 here we come. Red Army. Some of the football we played was class. Absolute class.
Superb performance. First half was a big cagey for the first 20-30 minutes, we had a lot of possession, but struggled to break down Crewe. We grew in confidence towards the end of the first half and deservedly went in ahead at half time after a great move involving 2 of the players of the season Kelly and Orsi exchanging passes, before Orsi worked a bit of space a scored a superb improvised finish with the outside of the boot.
Second half was more of the sand with Crawley going in confidence. Then came the season defining moment, another mistake from playing it around at the back, their striker ran through on goal and for some reason after hitting the ball round Corey decided to dive rather than try and put the ball in an empty net. As soon as he went down I thought something wasn’t quite right and I never thought I’d say this, but thank [***} for VAR as the referee could’ve ruined our season with a blunder, but thankfully justice was done expect the Crewe player somehow escaped a booking for the dive.
From there it just felt like it was going to be our day and rather than Crewe pushing for an equaliser we went for the second goal and killed the game off thanks to a fortunate bounce of the ball with Kelly’s cross cut out returning back to him with the defender on the floor and the keeper out of his goal, Kelly kept his composure to pass the ball in from a slightly angle. Of all the players to score the promotion clinching goal it was fitting that MOTM and arguably joint player of the season with Orsi scored that historic goal.
From there we hung on fairly comfortably to deservedly win.
What a season and what a play off campaign. Surely one of the best ever play off campaigns? 10 goals scored in 3 games and only one conceded!
I never saw this promotion coming to be honest, I didn’t even think we’d make the play offs!
Now get your chequebook out WAGMI so we ain’t s one season wonder!

I was sitting by a couple who flew over from Denmark especially for the game. It was hard to tell in the noise but I think he said something about posting on here at some point.
