[Malc]

Another 3 points today? I think so, 2-0 to the mighty Yellows.

 

[Belgium Yellow]

what a miss

 

[bert]

Why not pass to mguane that was shocking

Because he's a striker. It happens.

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

Wow. How did Harris not score there!

Unbelievably good play by Rodrigues on the break. Harris clean through and could have rounded the keeper… or just scored!

 

[gingerox]

Ridiculously good from Rodrigues, really deserved an assist

 

[Emilio]

Sat them right down

 

[bert]

Good effort CamBran - unlucky

 

[GreenMachine]

Great strike from Brannagan

 

[Emilio]

Not really much Leigh could have done there from that chance. No room for a pass to Harris, and Bodin was too close behind him for a comfortable pass backwards either.

 

[Canterburyexile]

Scummers 2 down to Notts County

 

[Emilio]

Some really good passing here. Finding space all the time despite their back 5 and 4 in the mid

 

[bert]

I like Chey Dunkley but Harris is giving him a good battle

 

[Canterburyexile]

Scummers now 3 down.

 

[Jolteon]

Dunkley keeping them in this

 

[Concretebob]

Happy so far

 

[Barbadosyellow]

Excellent first half performance. Same again second half will see us home.

 

[bert]

That move deserved a goal from Bodin.

We've done well this half. Harris should've scored when 1 on1 with their keeper but bearing in mind they are playing 9 at the back when we're in possession, we've done well.

 

[tonto]

Just watched the last 15 minutes excellent play need one more goal to put this to bed

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

Dominant performance, had most of the ball as expected.

Real shame that Harris couldn’t bury that as we’d be comfortable at 2-0. As it is, all it takes is one mistake or lucky corner…

I still think that we don’t really need Brown, Moore and Long all deep. Switching to 4 at the back would allow us to have someone more central and drifting around behind Harris… having said that, I doubt we’ll do that while 1-0 up.

Can't imagine Jack Marriott missing that

This is not a criticism, whatsoever (in my world, it's a compliment!) but I think Manning is a pragmatist, not an entertainer. When we're winning, creating chances and not conceding any - I can't see that he's going to change anything other than bringing on fresh legs up front in the final quarter.....
