Fucking freezing. Awful 60 mins, then a great finish.

Were rubbish for 60 minutes and went 2-0 down, but then played well and won 3-2.  Thought the young lad took his goal really well at the end.  Not great, but job done probably sums up the game tonight and the group stage as a whole really.

Weirdly that was better than an easy 1.0
Another galvanising win.

Bogarde in CM and Cash at RB changed it.

Hope Watkins isn’t too bad, good job we’ve already got Tammy in.

Darius Vasselius. His home debut and he had been on the pitch for 10 mins and scored twice in stoppage time to give is a 3-2 win in the home leg.

A game I’ll never forget being sat in the Holte End

Bogarde is never going to be a top flight right back however he could become a very good CM.

I was also in lower Holte for that one. I used to sit next to the most moaning moaner who ever moaned. He even was having ago at Vassell, a player who had played all of 4 minutes in the first team prior to that match, calling him useless because he didn't score on his first foray into the box.

Terrible first half but that was to be expected with so many changes and the injuries.
Let’s hope the atmosphere is better on Sunday because that tonight was embarrassing.

Darius Vasselius.

Is that Vassell’s Greek cousin?

Tyrone is such an eloquent speaker, I love listening to his thoughts and insights.

It was noticeable how Rogers went and celebrated Mings’ goal with him as the restart was being lined up after the goal. Almost a private celebration.
There must be real rapport between those two,

The passage of play, beginning I think with Cash in defence where played about 10 very quick, first time passes and culminating with JJ's effort being tipped over the bar was , from back to front

Was akin to 70's Brazil

First game I've been to this season. Brilliant last half hour and lovely to see the youngsters have pivotal roles.
