As Mara had the better chance to pass to Fraser earler. Alcaraz had a better pass out into Fraser in space. However, he went for the shot. This time the keeper couldn;t hold it and Mara wasn't far away. Sometimes, it;s worth having the effort. And having the confidence to do so.

Alcaraz with the three runner, instead plays the pass to his right. And it's not a complete pass, and he then gives away the foul. Just one of many examples where we would create a lot more actual cahnces, with the right decision making.

Smallbone gets the shot away. More because he was in a position where he thought he should get a shot away, rather than with any conviction it was going in.

Straight at Lumley. Foul, but just a reminder of the single goal lead. Hopefully, it will drive us a bit.

Mara did have Alcaraz in a better poisiton. But after his miss, I've no issue with him taking on the effort. SAA nearly got a cut-back. Only the one effort on target still, I think though.

Oh. Mara with a golden chance. SAA could have squared it to Smallbone, but did eventually get it to Fraser. Alcaraz seemed to have picked up a little knock. He wasn;t wanting the ball there.

Normally a yellow there. I guess the ref thought Mara had hit iit too far ahead of himself anyway. We're doing Bazball with Lumley. A little bit rustier, but we're stickign to our principles. Just as we're sticking to a 1 goal lead with tons of possession. 🙂

I htought that, considering his positions, Smallbone would have at least tried to turn and shoot. Their defence was ina little muddle. Could see what he was trying, with the net ball being across behind him. But he had an opportunity himself. Elsewhere, good defensive header from Holgate. Strength, and awareness to get it up and forward. Both Stephens and THB happy to get forward with the passes, while Charles sits to mop up anything that comes back.

Alcaraz did well in making some space for himself. FInish nto so good. Loads of passing and it probably needed Stephens being the one to start to get it more direct. THB followed shortly after.

Alcaraz one footed. We had 3 in the box and he had time to get the ball in, rather than stop, think and cut back.

Nice again from Meghoma. Cross into Mara. Need to get a few more of these on target.

Meghoma starting well. Nice link up with him and Fraser there.

Lumley channelling his inner Baz there.

Deep, direct pass for the assist.

Fraser!!!

My dancing is coming along nicely, I think. Nice to be in a place where people just accept you, and you can relax into it. Mentions of awesome things like cats and wheelchair basketball, as well as the usual CoT quality, is making this a top thread.

I think you'll find that I'm Spartacus. 🙂

They are known to pull people's arms out of their sockets, if they get upset. Wait, that's Wookies. Carry on...

Pretty fair assessment of his time with us. A capable player brought into a crashing club to play a tactic that never materialised, with any chance of it departing along with Jones. I do hope he gets on fine wherever he ends up, we get as much back on the fee as we can, and we all move on to better things.

The return of The Nile Ranger! Who was that masked man... committing an offence?

Obsessive

That's £7.99 million and the only mug is us. 🙂

You heel 🙂
