It shouldn’t be but really is a big win for the club. We end the holiday games with three precious points and gives a boost of confidence to the players and head coach after some dismal performances and results. Pleased for Kolli, always looking to get his shots away early. Hope he retains his place whilst Burrell recovers. Urrssss! |

Wednesday keeper badly beaten at his near post. However a superb strike from Kolli. Kept hold of the ball under pressure, created some space for himself and hit a wonderful shot. Stayed calm throughout. |

The 12 o'clock kick off's are a really bad idea but that will be Sky won't it? Had a quick look through the other fixtures that kicked off early and can see only one other first half substitution. We lost three players which is crazy, two hamstrings by the look of it so once again you have to look in the direction of Ben Williams and his team. |

Absolutely gutted for Burrell, the club and us. He was the one player I expected to cause Wet Spam real problems, chasing down and harassing a defence low on confidence. |

A bone fide genius somewhere needs to find the root cause of this team’s inconsistency. A Leicester performance one day and then a performance today fitting of the pitch. Too many days like today this season and they appear to be on the increase. |

Caught freezing cold again at the beginning of the second half. Great wing play to be fair but that ball shouldn’t have reached the goal scorer. Wakey Wakey Rangers, come on! I really hope they haven’t got next Sunday on their minds. |

Thanks Ref, time to get the Kettle on! Just seen that Paul Smyth has signed again, I for one am very pleased with that. |

Those were the days! In hindsight it was probably a mistake to allow The Battle of Agincourt Reenactment Society use the pitch for their Christmas event. [Post edited 2 Jan 7:34]

Happy New Year everyone! Pitch is a bit embarrassing. I know under the Ellerslie is always a problem but the issues look bigger, worse and have arrived earlier than usual which reflects badly on the company responsible. |

Agreed. Perhaps Smyth is on his way in January and that is why he isn't being played. [Post edited 29 Dec 2025 22:32]

You are right Dave, the fixture schedule is awful this time of year. However, there are other ways of managing minutes. There is no reason why we can't start the same team and try to get off to a good start and make changes at half time, early second half. With good coaching and preparation players coming on should be able to do the same job as the player they are replacing. We have to try and break this cycle of good performance / bad performance because it is soul destroying and costing us too many points. |

I thought overall the defence were poor, looked like conceding every time the ball was floated in to our area. |

Looking on the bright side at least WBA were poor, a decent team would have spanked us tonight. Strange line up, strange set up, substitutions late and not positive enough, no wonder Smyth isn't signing a new deal if he can't get a game. [Post edited 29 Dec 2025 22:42]

There should be changes soon, Poku shouldn't play more than an hour. Smythe and Burrell should cause them problems.. |

Well that wasn't boringly predictable. Great header Jimmy. Come on boys, buck the trend! |
