Godzooky. From the ideas factory that must have also given us Scrappy Doo and Jar Jar Binks. 🙂

Oh, we tried to draw them in and hoof it to pacey Sule. Something to watch for. It's a bit scrappy for Sule, who would have liked all that space in the first half. But an option to try.

The Karmic balance to the Billy's Boots comic strip. A talented football player constantly undone by having to wear ancient boots that make him a complete lump. 🙂

Good effort from fernandes. It's been a bit more even, as our energy levels have dropped. Rather than one massive defensive blunder leading directly to a goal, we had a defensive error that had a few other things after it, we could have done better before we conceded. So an improvement. 🙂 With our set up, we're at least getting into their half to get a goal back, rather than relying on going back to resetting and passing across the back. AA off. He's been a little quiet today. But can;t see his work rate not coming in handy with the new boss.

Bah! Our bench werent' happy with the corner. They got a lot of unchallenged balls there to finally get that in.

Les harrying the ball. Unfortunately, the first guy he was tacking gets that ball back and gets it in. Needed someone else to come over and support if not staying with the man.

My stream is a little behind. Just seeing the red. Hmmmmm. not sure it is having seen the replay.

Lovely from KWP to start a move.

Well, that was something different. We take the bright spots of Martin, in being able to pass really well into space across the team, and especially from the back. Arguably, we get back quickly defensively too, after all those corners where we had to run back. Mainly though, we don't panic. To that, we harry, get space and worked really hard. It's rusty looking up front. TP will be dispapointed not to have had a goal. But he's been involved in practically everything. He shows that when he has space he has some pace. He's physical and skilled enough to shield it. If anything, and not unknown for tall players, his heading could have been a little sharper there. really pleased for him as he's waited a long time for a system to give him a chance. Likewise the others who are working hard. Suga and KWP doing well, ably supported by hard work elsewhere. After such a different approach, I really hope we can keep the energy levels up, as we've gone tow to toe with WHU and come out the better team after that first half.

'tator: If he (TP) had been fit all season, would we still be bottom of the table. Answer: Yes, because our system was set up to play to his strengths as little as possible. As I type, that one was a good chance there for him.

Bedders doing very well there! good from TP too!

TP loving it. Moved clapped by the manager! Good to see.

Decent cross in there for TP that time.

TP really getting involved. I hope this spell comes good for him. He's waited such a long time.

The legacy of Martin's tenure will be that we will be extremely comfortable passing it around. Especially in tight defensive spaces, but elsewhere too.

I think so. The 4th official was saying that to the WHU manager I think.

Straight to TP, so we have a focal point. He tries to take it down also good. But they get it...only to be absolutely harried by 3 of our players. Good to see us getting back and winning it.

Hope that Fabianski is okay. I didn;t see the challenge. And that we get back onto the front foot as quickly as possible.

Hopefully this will change if TP is getting minutes. Surprised THB hasn't got one. If they can;t score, then I'd be looking at the corner taker.

Great to see us press so far up the park. Hopefully we can keep this going and not tire out, not being used to this. Hopefully the freedom to actually do things will get them through. KWP and Suga enjoying playing to their strengths for a start. TP moving with an actual chance of getting it in a dangerous position and Fernandes looking good.

Gah! Just one of these to go in! Just one please!

More chances for us. It's odd to see us having so much space, rather than compacted and playing it across the back. WHU analysts will have been wondering what was going to happen today, so a chance to take advantage. TP looking awkward and a little ponderous, but getting into good positions and getting chances. Who would have thought we'd have a center forward at the club?

wow. One of those good moves I've seen in highlights from other teams. Could have scored, but optimistic we might get some more chances to do so.
