Today's overall performance was best team performance since Cray Wanderers Nov 5th !!

We defended as a team and attacked as a team and unfair to single out one player but Bash Alimi fought like his life depended on it at the back and Sandy Cunningham was here there everywhere didn't stop running and got his reward with the 3rd goal to see off casuals .

Casuals must be ruing Jamie Byatt Miss of the season at 1-0 down still he is a terror at heart we said on the terraces .

Good to see another good crowd and suddenly we are looking strong as a team - not a one man team A.K.A Billy Dunn who incidentally did not join the party again today drawing a blank again as Boro score 5 and Dunn nothing . Will he return back is the question with 1 goal in 5 appearances hardly setting the world alight.

Still second is where we are and I hope we can dig deep again with 2 tricky away games next .

Brilliant performance against a side who were previously unbeaten in quite a few league games I'm told. 

We really clicked yesterday, and especially in the first half it was complete one way traffic. That's the best we've played since Billy has left, and getting Cunningham up close to Mike Dixon makes a huge difference. The link up play between them was really good, and Cunningham seems a strong signing who is an able replacement for Billy, but different in style of play and what we should expect from him. 

Given the makeshift defense we had, we did concede chances, but this was to be expected. They hit the bar twice if i remember correctly, and Jamie missed a complete sitter. Luck was on our side with those chances. 

You have to congratulate the management on their canny substitution(s). I for one was disappointed to see Claudio come off on 60 as I thought he was excellent in the first half, but that move proved a master stroke as Taurean stretched the game and immediately scored and assisted, effectively winning us the game. 

I  wondered how we would cope when I saw the lineup, given the lack of defensive midfielder available and given that 2 of our back four were effectively midfielders (Bash, Robbo), but I must say we defended excellently - which really started from closing them down from the front. A team effort of defending, and it worked marvelously giving them no time on the ball at all. In particular Chace and Jordan in the midfield showed a defensive maturity which was pleasing to see, both are flair and attacking players by nature, but both were obviously asked to do a more settled job and provide cover for the defense, as well as get up the pitch and support attacks - well done to both! 

 

Agree about Bash. The thing with Bash is that he is so ruddy consistent and committed all of the time, that sometimes you forget to mention him, because he just does what he does. But i think credit where credit is due, he was excellent at CB and once again gave his absolute all. he is an absolute role model to any player at our level! An unsung hero a majority of the time!

Also, Kyle Merson was again very very assured. There was a save at 2-1 I believe which was fantastic and kept us in front (and allowed us to then go and win the game down the other end!). I think he has done a very good job across the last few games of "applying" for our no.1 spot. His kicking and catching are both superb! Competition vs Matte is really healthy for the team, I think he edges it for me, but let's give him a bit more game time to make a full impression. Anyone know what Matte's injury is?

I was well pleased with that performance yestaday.First half is the best we have played in ages.I to was worried when I saw lineup.2 midfielders in defence.Both did really well.2nd half was a bit nervey.Merson has looked very secure since he came into team.I feel Tenny not at his best yet.Jordan played very well in a central roll.Barrington nearly scored but was disallowed .Still maybe missing a solid central midfielder with experience to play central with Chace and Robinson?Maybe?
