Irishadrian Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Concord are another team playing less well than in the earlier part of the season In their last 10 games they've only lost once but only won twice The other seven games have all been drawn so 13/30 points They also had a tough league game last Tuesday played in appalling conditions We had a confidence boost last game and have several players anxious to prove themselves. We should be looking for a draw at least imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reading Rebel Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 A team that's hard to beat but I'll be looking for three points ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlenSTFC Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Unfortunately I think it’ll be a narrow loss purely because they desperately need the points for the play offs* and we have nothing to play for also they’ve lost just once at home so must have the best home record. *with them having been deducted 3 points imagine how frustrating it’ll be for them if they miss out on the play offs by 3 points or less.

Irishadrian Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 GlenSTFC Actually Concord although only losing once have lost 14 home points due to multiple draws and have nowhere near the best home record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlenSTFC Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 True but it’s still a better home record than the vast majority in the league and we’d all certainly take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlenSTFC Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Not there but wow great result especially being a man down with a good hour still to go. Was the red deserved? Was stated on Twitter that Francis’ goal was a decent one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3spirit Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I said a draw would be a great result for us but I didn't expect us to get one with only ten men ! Well done all involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishadrian Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 I said before the game that I was expecting a draw at least but I suppose with 10 men that has to be a good result I'm very pleased that one goal was scored by a player for our future (anyone know who scored the equaliser!) I can honestly say even at 2 down I hadn't given up Most of Concords draws have come when they've been pulled back and several time recently they've lost two goal leads Both the clubs immediately below us before kick off lost There is a very complimentary tweet from Concord regarding our travelling support and their contribution to the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3spirit Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Seems Lee Togwell is claiming the second goal. Perhaps we've got a new striker in our midst as that's two goals in successive games. :-] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reeeebbbbeeeelllllls Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Great result! A few weeks ago we’d have lost that game, seem to have the never say die attitude back that made us a tough team to play against in the first half of season! ??

Martin Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Great result and terrific spirit being down to ten men for so long. Couldn't make today, took my boy to a football class and his coach name checked Lee Togwell as he was in his Slough top, so nice to see him popping up with the equaliser. This team and our coaching staff never give up and are always striving to improve which is great to see. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading Rebel Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Started the better side with Wazza going close early on. Long way from the sending off incident so cannot comment only to say that Alex Wall is a big unit and in a one on one situation he takes a lot of stopping. I think with 10 men and 2-0 down most supporters thought it was game over but a battling performance from the boy's got us a well deserved point and but for a blatant penalty on Floody not given it could have been all three. Lee Togwell again my MOTM COYR!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdelaney Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Brilliant impact and superb goal from the young substitute Francis Amertey to get the ball rolling. COYREBELS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishadrian Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 Post match interview with Sammy Moore Concord manager on their twitter page now clearly disappointed " we didn't deserve to be 2 up" "After their man was sent off we played like the team with 10" " Slough thoroughly deserved their draw" He blames their long journey and tough game on Tuesday for their lack of stamina but clearly can see the playoffs slipping away "We've lost one in eighteen but the draws are killing us" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reading Rebel Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Looking at the video the red card looked nothing more than both players tussling for the ball with the Concord player losing his balance and falling over. Strangely the lino gave them the foul but the Ref signaled for a foul in our favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reading Rebel Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 It was a superbly taken goal from Francis Amartey. He did OK on his first sub appearance and made a big impact on his second sub appearance. Sometimes difficult to weigh up players when they have such little time on the pitch so looking forward to seeing Francis Amartey in the starting eleven.
