Best Of

Just seen Nnamdi's goal for Swindon. Absolute belter. So pleased for him to be back playing again.

I spoke to an ITK in a pub in Mansfield today who told us that his brother is good mates with Des Buckingham's best mate in Bicester. Apparently Des was at Adams Park this week for an interview. Take that with a pinch of salt

Chequers - needed to make a pit stop and knew I could count on them to have Soccer Saturday on!

Always nice to win when not playing your best and we were not at our high standards of earlier in the season. We created so many good chances but equally they fluffed their lines in front of goal far too often.

Kone continues to impress. Misses a shot by a mile and there’s no sign his confidence is impacted. The penalty was interesting as players pushed him to take it - literally.

Declan will get such a schooling playing alongside Sunny and he improved as the game went on. Attacking headers bravely as they pushed and pushed.

All in all a good day at the office. Saturday will be again massive after we see the impact of Wrexham v Birmingham. A chance to have a huge gap or a chance to go top?

Results at the top of L1 certainly went out way today & long may they all stutter...

Lovely stuff. Also nice to see Humphreys talking to Skura after he'd given the ball away cheaply.

We might be ok you know.

Really good, exciting game today and at times some excellent football and some determined defence late on.

Fantastic win and atmosphere at the ground and great to see the players encouraging us to make more noise when we were under pressure.

Just one observation to add that I really enjoyed and not really seen mentioned on here.

Shortly before we scored our second their No 11. Who had been a moaning, whinging prick most of the second half, had a pretty much open goal with the ball at his feet 5/6 yards out and managed to steer it well wide of the goal rather than give Mansfield the lead which they would probably have kept.

‘Served him right’ I thought at the time and Karma was delivered on him shortly afterwards.

I agree - I have never felt for even 30 seconds this season that Birmingham would not win the league. I hope they pound Wrexham and Huddersfield into fine dust!

Great performance but wow we really do have a lot of strength in depth, apart from maybe right back at the moment. With Sadlier, Low and Westagaard and maybe Anders to fit into the team, we have more exciting times ahead.

Sonny times ahead 👍.

You’re absolutely right, we’ve got an embarrassment of riches, but we’re shuffling them around to fit a square peg into a round hole. I commented on this earlier, but Bez is having to take an extra touch or two to get set as he’s out of position and it gives the opposition vital seconds to reset. Sad’s will be game changing when he’s back, working with Harvie and terrorising the midfield, which is and has been our weakest area since Morley left.

But to come away from there, with three points, wow. Successful promotion campaigns were won of those sorts of games.
