    With further injuries and not beating a top 9 team I am fearing the worst.

    I’d like to see eisa gillead greene/mcatee KVV as the attacking players within a 4-4-2 formation. Really nothing to lose. However I sense a nervy defence minded approach which will be doomed to failure.

    With our injury concerns at the back (again!) we must focus on attack and not sit deep inviting pressure.

    Couldn’t agree more, but isn’t Eisa doubtful as well and McAtee either injured or out of favour.

    3-0 home win, mainly due to some of the reasons stated above but also yes, we have improved considerably since the turn of the year but not that much. They are a better side then us and even if we had all our best players fit and available it would still be a very difficult fixture.

    A good thrashing,largely due to Cox showing the opposition too much respect and setting up according coupled with the fact that we are not really very good.

    I’d happily take a point tonight. Not fussed how we go about getting it.

    We’re not clear of the woods yet and Grimsby/Barrow are due an upturn in form at some point

    Well I’m straight back on here to apologise to the guys, didn’t see that coming at all, what a bloody result well done the Iron. One shot on target and one goal, well that’s how it goes sometimes, only downside is some more injuries but it’s great to get back to winning ways so I will try to stay positive for the rest of the season. UP THE IRON.

    Well that was some game, talk about Robin Hood, they dominated the first hour, but failed to take their many chances, we had ONE SHOT all game and came away with a win!!!

    My ratings for tonights match being:-

    HOWARD—8—Made saves when required, but his kicking found touch 70% of the time.
    BROWN—6—Did ok and defended well.
    KARACAN8—8—My MOM today, passed very well and good position all game.
    McGAHEY—-7–Did his job, without being his usual outstanding self, but ok.
    clarke—3—hE HAD A TERRIBLE GAME, POOR PASSING, CAUGHT IN POS
    BEEDTIN—-5—-Not involved in much tonight, abcent for long spells.
    GREEN—4—Did very little, never got involved, why select him???
    BEDEAU—4—Caught in posession too many times, poor passing, getting worse.
    GILLIEAD—7—Played well without being his normal self, difficult game for midfielders.
    EISA—3—Never beat his man, dribbled into their players and lost the ball many times, and over hit crosses every time, how can a player go off so much???
    KVV—7—Very difficult up front with yourself, but took his one chance very well.

    REF–9—A first class performance by him, did not react to dives, kept play going.

    COX—5—Usual 45 mins defending all first half, one shot on target all 99 minutes, poor team selections with Rowe and O’Malley on the bench, Rowe should have starte instead of Clarke, and O’Malley should have started instead of Green. Very valuable but luckey three points, but Cambridge only had themselves to blame, good to see Howard have a good game, but his kicking should be handy when he turns to Rugby League for a couple of years before retiring. I think Onarise instead of Bedeau would vastly improve the team when fit.

    Did anyone get a commentary of any kind, there were about fifteen F’s from the dugout, I would think all of them was from the Cambridge one.

    Great result against what is (usually) a very good team. Defended well and thought we showed a bit of intent first half without doing too well. Got one good chance and actually took it for a change. Winning away at top of the league who hammered us 5-0 at home should be massive for the lads confidence.

    Unlike the usual hanging on in games I was never overly concerned they would score.
    Excellent from Howard and a soild shift from everyone.

    Those scores are nonsense BS perhaps it’s best you gave the ratings thread up if that’s what you’ve got to offer.

    Also critcising the defensive team selection while at the same time suggesting a left back should’ve started in place of one of the forwards? Interesting.

    Absolute rubbish Stampy, those marks where my asswssment for todays match, ok you are over the moon at the Scunny performance, but they were very, very luckey to take the points, and could (but where not) been 4-0 down at half time.

    I agree what you say regarding it being a very, very, very good result and three very, very good points, but your comments are 100% based on the result, a few of the player were crap, Clarke, Green, Bedeau and Eisa if you need names, but as I have said many times, THESE ARE MY RATINGS and you have your own views, why don’t you submit your ratings and we will see wghat you think, but if we had lost 3-1 I feel sure your assessment would be completely differend, yes we had ONE SHOT ON TARGET IN 100 minutes, not that brilliant is it.

    One goal (Beestin), one assist (Green), three points.

    Probably why they were selected.

    We were away from home against top of the league. The team that have scored the 3rd most goals this season and we kept a clean sheet. That doesn’t happen if 2 of your defenders are poor and the other 2 are average. Your numbers are nonsense.

    Were you watching Northumbiron? It was Kev who scored. Nearly 20 mins after he got subbed off.

    I agree with BS’s rating for Clarke…he was truly awful!

    Complete smash and grab tonight but I’ll take that any day of the week against top of the league away from home.

    Yes it sure wassmash and grab, it usually comes off once in ten matches when a team is outplayed, and yes Clarke was the worsyt player in our team, but the fans are over the moon wit the three points, so we will go along with that till the next time we play like today and possibly get stuffed 5-0. Yes it was Beestin that scored, just a slip of the keyboard, but not quiet a hanging offence is it.

    And ten minutes after he shaved his beard off and changed his shirt number from 10 to 22?

    The manager gets a 5 rating and the after a 1-0 win against top Of the league away from home !?!

    at least the Cambridge commentators seemed to appreciate the effort even if some our fans don’t.
