Thanks Derek for :
Injecting confidence into the players and for lifting the entire club.
Playing a system that fits the players we have.
What the heck have you done with Kilkenny - you've given him a role with players that allows him to 'boss' the match. Brilliant.
The substitutions made so much sense, tactically and with 'fresh legs'.
Pearson showed real promise and will get even better with games, let's hope he stays fit (apparently that's his main problem).
Every player did well today but I thought Skuse was immense and a toss up between him and NK for my MOM.
Can't get over how well you set the side up, you nor Doc never stopped encouraging and I came away today on cloud nine with hope for the season. I can't remember a time when City played so well at AG.
Just back in London after watching the game at the Gate, Was worth every penny of what it cost for the Hospitality tickets.
If anyone hasn't tried the hospitality, the food is great, the staff friendly and helpful, all in all a wonderful experience.
Now to the game We probably should have been leading by at least 2 or even 3 goals at half time as in the main we dominated the play in the first half I thought Pearson and Yala did very well today Albert and Yala combined well and for someone who can't score, make a cross, or tackle Pearson had quite an eventful debut a goal which he himself says he just bundled in and a good cross for Bretts goal plus I'm sure I saw a few won tackles out there as well. Now I won't get carried away but can only say if he plays this well when not match fit how much better could he be if he gets match fit.
Killkenny again ran the show popping up all over the place plus Skuse looks far better at RB than he ever did in CM rather like Bradley Orr proved to be.
Even with Nicky not firing on all cylinders yet the team looks so much better than what was on display earlier in the season, Del boy says he will chop and change the team in order to win games and thats OK with most fans we want to see the team winning performances can wait until we are back in the winning habit although I wouldn't say the performances have been too bad over the last 3 games.
The current table looks far more encouraging than it did just 9 days ago 2 wins and a draw in 8 days and we have closed back the gap at the bottom now 3 points one game from safety.DM has been in charge for 4 games 2 wins one draw one defeat scored 5 conceeded 4 we carry on like that until the end of the season we will have somewhere in the region of 65 points that will be a great foundation to build on for next year
Have to say really enjoyed all parts of todays experience the match and the other parts even got to have a quick chat with Marina Dolman again doubt if she would remember the previous meetings but she is still as friendly and supportive of the club as she ever was.
I will be very interested in what position we find ourselves in come the January transfer window mid table and looking to push on or still in the mire near the bottom personaly based on the last 3 games under Del and Tony I rather expect it will be the former.
