I think it augurs well.

[Porky]

I only have text commentary to go on but:-

To score two away goals against Reading ain't no mean feat.
Albion scored more goals than 68% of the teams in the Div.
Only one team scored more, and that's the team that beat them.
I think it looks good.

Both of the goals were serious defensive errors from us, and while you won't catch other teams napping, you'll be a lot stronger in the air than a fair few as well.

So were all 3 of yours! Defending was shocking all game from both teams.

After the first 5 minutes I was expecting at least a final score of 9-8! All the goals were defensive errors or sloppy passing. I think we held our own fairly well.

The fourth goal (Forster) was a simple failure of Harding to clear the ball when Forster was bearing down on him. Kuipers had no chance.

Harding should have done better but I blame Currie for this goal. We were attacking in your half when he tried to do something clever on the ball instead of laying it off in order to continue the attack. He then lost the ball whilst most of our players were going forward leaving Harding backtracking under pressure. Like you say, he was then unable to clear the ball but it was Currie who caused the goal to be set up. It was his fault.

id blame currie, harding isnt the fastest and forster outpaced him and there was nothing kuipers could do as the finish was superb

To be honest, I don't see what a lot of the gloom and doom recently has been about. you looked good enough to easily finish Mid-table.

You'll be fine.

You really creep up their arse dont you?

My apologies doughdeep. I'll try and post in words of only one syllable from now on.
Hope all is well in that great city of Seaford.

I thought our general play was a lot more positive today than I saw in much of last season. I think we will have what it takes to get enough points based on what I saw today.

BUT a big word of caution. Anyone who was at Turf Moor a couple of seasons ago would probably have felt the same - I know I did. That was perhaps the best performance of the season, and all the fans streaming away from the ground that day were full of how we would have no problem staying up, and we all know what happened.

I think the players will have learned a lot today and put it to good use on Tuesday. It was interesting how many matches were drawn today though - I think the weather certainly had a lot to do with it

Thinking the same really, but I have to agree with Harty on SCR that we have to win the games in the mini league that will develop that's where we went wrong that season. Winning on tuesday is a must.

 

[saafend_seagull]

looked at the plymouth report, and said they didnt create any chances so theres hope.

 

[Chesney Christ]

And who are you

I like to be honest.
If you can't be honest on a message board, what is the point in using them?

Would you rather I'd have said that you were a bunch of poofs who support a shit football team??

That would have been pointless, abusive and disrespectful though, which would have won me no friends.

Don't worry he's a Palace scummer. The date on his username gives that impression anyway.

Has anyone seen Reading's third goal on camera yet?

It was a clear hand ball by Forster that the ref failed to give!

You could even see it on their nice new big screen every time they showed it. Talk about rubbing it in you Bd's!

 

[Lush]

Slightly worrying that defensive frailities were our downfall, when defence was our strength last season.

Still hay-dee-ho.
