I was completely fed up after the Egham game and perhaps as recently as the Hayes & Yeading game. But yeah, we've improved dramatically. I'd like to see us pick up a couple of victories in the next 3 (huge) games before I'm totally convinced we're not going to capitulate but Saturday was bit of a turning point for me. That's exactly the sort of match we'd have drawn 0-0 or even lost over the past couple of seasons. Luke Fairlamb's performance really was exceptional, what a player he is.Rushdenjim wrote: ↑Sat Nov 18, 2017 5:25 pmTotally agree. Credit to the lads.

What a step up from the lads in recent weeks. I'll hold my hands up and say I wasn't happy with how things were going a few weeks ago but the management team and the players have shut me up. Recent additions to the squad have been absolutely fantastic - Robbins and Diamond have barely put a foot wrong and I'm sure we'll be seeing more of Gilchrist. I'm excited to have Jack Ashton back but with how Punter's been playing he's got some decent competition.
This may be a controversial comment but I think in a roundabout way losing Nabil seems to have had a positive effect on us. You can't deny the man, he was undroppable because he put the ball in the back of the net and won us no end of points, but his style of play which often involved getting the ball to feet with his back to goal slowed our attacks down at times I thought.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

Totally agree. I said it on the thread about Nabil's departure. We had become too one dimensional with Nabil and we've actually flourished as a team without him.BartonRaz wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 2:21 pmRushdenjim wrote: ↑Sat Nov 18, 2017 5:25 pmTotally agree.
