And with Dapo in behind that’s some handful to deal with.GhostoftheBok wrote: ↑Sat Feb 19, 2022 5:00 pmDad Bod and Charles look like they could be a really serious partnership at this level with a few games together.
There is a balance there for home games I think - you have to be very good to stop that three.

They now look and play like a football team all on the same page, I know Wimbledon were poor but as good as we looked going forward with Dion, Dapo & Dad - I actually thought that Dempsey & Morley as a midfield duo were fantastic today.
Dion Charles BTW will become a BWFC legend, the guy is talented but also has an edge which is great to see. Compared to the past few years some of the football in the 2nd half was really good to watch, we now have a decent team & decent spirited players to back - with a couple of additions in the summer similar to our January signings we will be serious contenders next season (but we could also have a chance of sneaking 6th place this season if we can continue this form).
BTW this snitch / grass on a fellow supporter than FV has introduced is a disgrace IMO.

Just got back from the match. That was as comfortable as it gets, once we went two up we looked like scoring with every attack - even Rico had a couple of gallops forward and one very decent attempt from a corner. Our forwards looked a constant threat and shout out to Dempsey and Morley to not miss MJ was quite remarkable. I thought Dapo was on the poor side for him but that's being picky.
Lincoln on Tuesday is a must win , teams are taking big notice of us now. Looking at the results Sunderland are dropping faster than Emile Heskey in his prime which just makes the weekend better. COYWM.

Indeed.

Not had chance to go back through the comments on here but I watch Dempsey particularly closely this afternoon and for me he was motm. He played that shielding role expertly, and covered at LB with aplomb everytime John pushed on. A few balls didn't quite reach their intended target but there was more of that than usuall today. I'd be happy to rest MJ on Tuesday too. We'll done, lad.
May the bridges I burn light your way

A couple of passes each went astray for Morley and Dempsey but otherwise they were very good. How close was Dempsey's first half effort? Their keeper dived for it so I'm assuming it was fairly close. Looked a great strike.

Dempsey is a very good player at this level and will only get better, Morley at his age is exceptional and has the potential to be a very decent championship level player.
Dion Charles for me is a breathe of fresh air, we haven't had a player like him up front for a good while - he makes Doyle look like Harold Steptoe.

Thought he had his best game for us, too. But think he's a way to go yet. I was torn on MoTM, Dion didn't immediately spring to mind despite a goal and an assist. Flossie terrified 'em but the final ball was a little awry (although a whole host which people didn't quite get on the end of). John looked back to his "this time last year" performances. But for me Morley just makes us tick from back to front and his delivery into the box is great. They weren't very good in MF tbf, but I'd have been terrified playing anyone before Chrimbo without MJ.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Sat Feb 19, 2022 6:46 pmNot had chance to go back through the comments on here but I watch Dempsey particularly closely this afternoon and for me he was motm.

We are really a joy to watch on a big field. We used every inch of it through our wing backs. Not many teams in the entire EFL are as entertaining as we are. Declan John had an amazing game, my MoM. Johnston played excellently also. Had some concerns about Dapo, wasnt at his best in the #10 role. Dont think we have found a natural one. DadBod knows how to keep a ball when he has it. Makes a good partnership with Charles.. perhaps the best top 2 pairing we have. Baka has become a goalscorer overnight !!
Hope Evatt takes the pressure of them trying to reach playoffs.. enjoy one match at a time and end of season see where it takes us.

Funny, I phoned him too, to complain about the tall bespectacled hooligan behind us who was teaching my children all kind of new rude words!Harry Genshaw wrote: ↑Sat Feb 19, 2022 5:43 pmWell that were very enjoyable. Some great footy at times. Several good openings that we couldn't quite turn into gilt edge chances but 4 did not flatter us.
Dion obviously MotM closely followed by Johnston for me but each man played their part today.
I was glad of the yob hotline. Some mum sat in front of us who couldn't keep her kids under control. Neil Hart knows who Gooner Girl is now

Cracking win. Lots didn't come off or the gap would've been wider.
We're a real threat now, tremendous turnaround.

Good game though. Been to quite a few away games over the years and that’s the best I’ve ever seen you play!

Thanks, Tango. Interesting ball in for the fourth - looks like it swerves out to in, although it might be the camera angle; hopefully another one will come along.TANGODANCER wrote: ↑Sat Feb 19, 2022 9:03 pmThe goals again...
