Just watched the highlights. Looked like we were a bit more direct. Three absolute quality crosses, and lovely passing for the second in the build up. I think that's what we all want to see...without aimlessly lumping it, or hurling long throws, it looks a lot more threatening. I suppose the big question is whether we can reproduce it against the likes of Leamington. Noticed from the highlights that at least it's not as if the players didn't celebrate the goals with the fans. I remember there were a couple of games towards the end of B&J's reign where we scored in front of our own fans and the players ran straight to the dugout to celebrate, which seemed a pointed gesture at the time. |

Loved the nudge Peers gave the defender just as the cross was going to be delivered for the second goal ,not enough to warrant a foul but enough to put the defender off balance and break his concentration. |

Respect to Weeks who was there at the end clapping the team off and shaking all their hands. No sign of Glendon from where I was sitting?? It’s exactly this sort of thing that is the issue. Weird. It was actually a positive observation of Weeks and a genuine question if Glendon was there because I didn’t see him from where I was sat but others might have. Took balls for him to be there on the pitch at the end after all the shit he’s had recently, clapping them all and giving lots of praise - I was impressed. |

Where I sit I could see Weeks and Glendon and both celebrated the goals and applauded the players. For both it would be difficult as they seem to have been made scapegoats for recent performances. Yesterday the style of play changed completely with the ball being moved forward quicker and at pace, there were very few occasions were the ball was played out from the back. Could Glendon and Weeks play in that way, not sure but previous tactics were not down to the players but the tactics of Cal. Has Cal realised that his preferred style does not work, only time will tell. |

Is scapegoats the new woke term for players who get dropped because they're under performing 🤣 Btw, I see we are on to 9 pages when we've won (albeit 5 are probably on Cal's post match interview). Is this a record? |

Hereford were clearly surprised by our change of tactics and caught on the back foot. If this change is something we adopt regularly, will other teams then be able to suss us out and counter the tactics?
Maybe I'm over thinking it, the effort level of the players was a major factor by the sounds of it, and getting an early goal. We need to be able to manage games when it's the opposition who score early instead of us.

Aaaron Chapman the Hereford goalie was the biggest goalkeeper I have ever seen 6ft 8 inches tall and solid.It was only later in the game that I realised he had played for us 10 years ago.Also in the same team was a young Tom Peers and he had the pleasure of scoring against him 10 years later.its a funny old game.

Some belly on him. Slowest reacting goalkeeper I’ve seen in a long time. Took him 10 mins to get down for a shot. |

The whole Curzon fiasco was a result of bad tactics, the fans response was frustration because they know that we are far better than that. When we get into the faces of teams show some iron and move the ball quickly we are as good as anyone in this league. I just hope we continue to play this way and CM does not resort back to tippy tappy shit. We won and won well. But we must now get something at Darlo or this great win will mean very little |

I can see Weeks or Glendon playing in Daly's position on sat tbh. Weeks on form is virtually unplayable against at times in that position

If we want to keep up with the pace setters and have aspirations of winning the title yes. But if you read what I posted I said 'must get something from the game' I never said must win that was what you posted. A point on the road would be fine I my opinion |

You’ll find Glendon at Radcliffe on loan within the next week or 2. Hounded out over 2 years. As I said, he’s been prone to criticism this year as captain, but last season he was very good, but he’s probably fed up been abused by a dozen or so on here and a few hundred in the ground. He's not been hounded out. He's not been good enough and not repaid the huge amount of faith our manager and some of the fans have placed in him. As a result of his awful form this season the manager has dropped him and coincidentally the team have had their best performance of the season. |

We were flat as hell Saturday. You looked a hungry side and that new bloke in the middle from Burnley did well.
Nice day out (aside from the queue at the stadium and result).
I would say both sides should finish top 7.
Thank you.

However yeah, can see the pic they put up of Tom Peers with the smoke bomb in the background as well, and the instagram account plastered with pics of it all as well 😂 |

They have politely reminded people that smoke bombs are illegal to bring into the ground and that consequences for breaking the law exist. Not sure what the problem is here. |

I think hes referring to the club having no problem using pics of the smoke for cool looking player photos on the socials. Instagram account littered with them, as well as on Twitter Club right to issue statement of course |
