Good all round performance lacking a cutting edge, otherwise would have been 3-0. Despite an awful ref we deserved the win.
Seem to have picked up a couple of injuries. Reinforcements needed sooner rather than later.

The passing and the build-up play was good, just missing the end product.
and yet we're all desperate to sign at least 2 defendersQuote:

To be fair, not sure an actual rock could have been much worse, he was fecking shite.
And won in the cup!Quote:

With a few additions to the squad I see no reason why we can't be champions of this division.

Salech a lumbering giant doesn't fit that type of game.
Tanner is better on the right wing.
Trott looks decent.
We still need a proper striker. maybe we could loan one from Wrexham as they have about 15 :)

Dons fans impressed by Rubin
Can’t agree about Salech, his hold up play, back to goal and linking people in is great. As soon as Robinson came on we lost all of that and he then missed the easiest chance we had.Quote:

From reading other clubs blogs etc, L1 teams are more paper thin than us. You only have to look at the bench of the teams we are up against.Quote:

Great save, when he was needed, he was there and won us the game !!!
Well done the defence too, a lot of pressure, they dug in and also got us the win.
What a difference a Manager makes.
a 33 year old lower leagues journeyman is not the way forward.Quote:

His big brother is a different class, it is a sad indictment on last seasons managers who failed to get a tune out of him.
Kpakio and Lawlor both have the potential to be something special.
Do you think the player himself should perhaps shoulder some of the blame for his weak, ineffective performances throughout much of last season? Is the drop in standard be suiting him?Quote:
