His celebration with the fans and his team mates, giving his shirt to that young lad, something he will remember forever, well, i ****ing love all that! Forget the serious shit for a minute, when you get wrapped up in that kind of emotion (as a city fan) it's as good as it gets! Well done Callum, lovely to see after such a poor run. Happy :hehe:
Allsop showed a turn of pace to join him at the other end. He'd just been down 'injured' :hehe:
NG's sprint to the bench after scoring was fun to watch too. Good night all round. Hopefully will spark us into life a bit for the battle ahead.
There was a spirit about the team that has been lacking all season.
Who was that little ginger bloke who Ng seemed to pick out for his celebration? The new dead ball specialist?Quote:

I’m happy for him that he scored I’m really hoping this will spur him on to score more now. The lads must be bouncing tonight!
I don’t think their effort can be questioned all seasonQuote:

Definitely. The togetherness surprised me, actually. I was pleased to see it though.Quote:

Hopefully the manager is instilling a spirit, and that can be the 12th man to keep us up
When did we sign him? Italian lad is he?Quote:

Nice little wave goodbye to the home fans after his goal 👋 ta’raQuote:

Yet some people think you need a Warnock type to "hype up" the ladsQuote:

Not sure about his celebration, i made a dash for a quick for a quick **ss as his goal went in, it was the epitome of how to play when you have a lead, just go and get another and stop inviting them on with 10 players in the box not having a clue who's marking who with the inevitable errors, it was an awful game but if all remaining games are as awful with the same outcome then the previous games are forgotten, have only just seen NG's goal again as no replays on now TV coverage, what a tremendous strike :ayatollah: and as for Robinsons goal, i would think that everyone watching was expecting the cut back ball, and that's after he didn't do the usual routine and take it to the corner, a very clever play from him.Quote:

If he takes that to the corner, he wastes about 10 seconds then it gets hoofed into our box and we probably draw knowing us. Saying that I thought we defended really well last night.
It was really clever, and also cutting in again when you’re expecting the cross.
I like Robinson, quality player and he cares. Cared too much against the jacks!
For me he’s our best player hands down.Quote:

Hopefully things get better going forward.
Without a doubtQuote:

Very good player especially when he’s not being played out of position as the lone striker for a team who can’t get the ball into the box. Suddenly we have a few options including a couple actual number 9s things look totally different.

If Wickham scores one goal, and that goal keeps us up, that's the signing of the decade for us. Same with Andy Campbell, crap record but he scored that goal.
Was a quality goal too.Quote:

I like him, he’s a really good player and shows a bit of passion too.
Celebrations at the end on Tuesday were like we’d just sealed promotion 😂
