Tough game and some tough decisions for Bakes and Unders to make.

 

With Manny Williams almost certain to come back into the starting 11 it'll be interesting to see what formation we go with. 

[Stan]

From what I have seen of Merthyr this season they are a good footballing side who like play.

I assume we will go back to the formation we played against Weymouth and try and beat them at their ( and our) own game by playing football !

It both teams come with that attitude should be a great game. We need to show that workrate and commitment we showed against Weymouth from the first whistle and then the flowing football and the chances will come from that.

Will be a draw: 1-1

Nigel. Don't let Sue see that prediction post

[Mark44]

I'd like to point out that Mr Smith is a top 10 player in the prediction league

[Windsor Rebel]

Thank you Mark44, I have always thought you were a top bloke

[HorshamRebel]

That may be the case, but he also has a near 100% "success" of the club losing, when he has made a public prediction, regardless of what he predicted the result to be.

OMG Mark!!!!!!

 

Please do NOT encourage him he might be in the top 10 but on here when he predicts he's bloody useless! !!

We are now getting to the business end of the season now and all top five places are up for grabs,lets hope our early season form has now come back Merthyr will be a stern test big three points up for grabs, hope we can get a gate of 700+ COYR

Great game... good drink ...,. Make me smile !!!

[staines_rebel_Jr]

a very good match of football with two quite evenly matched teams. Flood with the goal to get us ahead but the last 5 plus injury were quite tense but we held on well.

 

 

Plenty of good performances today with a few stand out performances. I though Smart at CB was excellent and looked like he has been playing there all his life. Scotty in goal came and claimed almost every ball, particularly in the second half and made some good saves when called upon. Gav James was tireless upfront closing down there defence and pressing them into trouble.

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

A very good battling performance against a decent Merthyr side. Some very good performances for menflood and smart stood out!!

[Stan]

Excellent result against a top side. Think they will still be there at the death.

How good was Nathan Smart today , Flood was excellent but Smart made a series of great interventions and his decision making was faultless. Not bad for-someone who was a bit part cover player a few months ago.

[Reading Rebel]

Superb performance from all the boys against a very good Merthyr side.

 

I thought we had the better of the first half, just missing a goal to put the cap on a good first half performance.

 

Second half I thought Merthyr started the better side but over the 45 minutes I thought it was fairly even half with Floody getting the all important goal.

 

Severall candidates for MOTM but for me Nathan Smart didn't put a foot wrong, putting in some timely interventions with a top draw performance.

Game of few chances but luckily we took one of ours to grab a vital win against a hard working Merthyr Town. I just hope we can continue our winning run in our next two which on paper should be winnable but fully realise there are other considerations to take into account so they will be tough in their own way.

[RebelDelaney]

Nis and Smart superb at the heart of the defence, great all round team performance.

Hope Manny's injury is not bad and hope he will be staying with us longer than a month a real tenacious and experienced player.

Smart really has stepped into that role superbly. Considering it's not his natural position and he was only initially here on a game by game basis with no guarantee, he's really taken his chance and at the moment made the position his own, great work!

[Gashimoto]

Great performance, was close but thought we were in control from the start.

 

Was surprised to see double sub before half time, but that shows they knew they had to alter their tactics to compete.

 

Thought the two centre backs were immense and Scotty as he snuffed out all threats after we scored. Any of them for motm.

 

Let's keep up the pressure on the teams above us.
