So far so good, 2-0 to the Super U's and a brace from Luke (Chuck) Norris
Now even though I had 2-0 to Colchester with Norris to score first I hope that I am wrong and that Frank Nouble can score second half.
Come on the Super U's | |

I see we have substituted the double goal scorer???? Surely he should stay on for a hatrick? Strange decision. Just hope we don't go to 10 at the back. |  | | |

As 3-1 victories away from home go, this one was difficult to enjoy at times, particularly for most of the second half. Even in the first half we struggled to get our flowing football flowing, though to be fair Cheltenham offered very little to trouble us. Two great strikes from Norris, particularly the free-kick, should have seen us press on in the second half for the killer third, but instead we sat deeper and deeper just trying to hold on to what we had (sound familiar?).
Inevitably, even though Cheltenham still weren't making much use of the possession they had, a strike through a forest of legs (with a deflection? looked like it to me) gave them hope, and to be honest most of the faithful were probably expecting the inevitable equaliser. However, Sammie hadn't read the script, and despite running and running tirelessly all game, managed to scramble his way into the box with a few minutes to go to draw an easy penalty from a tired challenge. If there was debate about who took the first spot-kick, with Norris already subbed there was no debate for this one - up strode Harry Pell and absolutely leathered it into the top corner. Game Over.
MoM for me was Sammie, just didn't stop chasing everything, and the 3rd goal was entirely down to his dogged persistence. I get why the jury may be out on Nouble, and we discovered another aspect of his game today - he is not a fleet-footed dribbler of the ball. But he's a big unit, with masses of strength, and drew 2 or 3 Cheltenham players every time he had the ball. I don't think it's a coincidence that with him playing, others are regularly finding the net. If he keeps doing that all season, I don't care if he isn't scoring any of his own.
Great to meet you and your daughter GSY, plus Hereford Bob, Swedish Martin, others, and also Ms Norris who it turned out was sat right next to us! Great passionate vocal support from her, with quite a liberal amount of 'effing and jeffing thrown in for good measure.
3-1 away from home, and we didn't play particularly well overall - I'll take that every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Wessex - thanks for a great review and you met up with some more of the faithful, including Mrs Norris - fantastic support.
I am sorry that Nouble didn't score again but full marks to JM for playing Nouble and Norris.
What was Mika Mandron like when he came on. Also good to hear that Szmodics is back to his best.
The sitting deep second half is sadly a JM trait and I don't understand it when we are so good going forward, it will be interesting to see what he does at Prenton park which will be another tough game.
Anyway 3-1 what's not to like!
PS Have just watched the goals - both stonewall penalties and both despatched with venom. If Ronaldo had scored the free kick you would never have heard the end of it.
It was a truly great strike.
Szmodics was superb to win the second penalty and full marks to the referee who could have penalised the first foul on him but played the advantage. Mandron assisted the third goal with a neat pass to Sammie.

Mandron was mostly ineffective, but in reality it was no fault of his own (though he was part of the 1-2 for Sammies penalty). I'm not sure whether Norris's substitution was wholly tactical, or whether he was just dead on his feet (he'd been very busy for the hour+ he played), but by the time Mandron came on, we were sitting so deep that he was completely isolated, feeding on scraps and with no one really in support. Even Nouble was playing what can only be described as left back, sometimes even further back than KVY.
The word on the terrace was that Lapslie and Dickenson were involved in a training ground collision (as in tackling accident, not fisticuffs), but don't know how true that is? | |

Sorry only just read all of this thread.
I was there today hidden away with my friend on the side.
Consequently couldn't make to much noise or comment.
This was a different performance from the league cup loss on penalties.
I said after that game we had no squad depth, well I was wrong.
Fantastic comeback after last week and of course Norris was on the ball and hit the target twice. There is something about the side this year that has been missing for a long time. I truly feel we will be up there at the end of the season. | | | |

Wessex - I feared that JM wouldn't play two out and out strikers in that role.
I don't know why he won't play Collins who had an excellent game at Meadow Lane. Still must complain about a 3-1 away win.
We are definitely going to put some decent results together this season. And to be fair to JM he admitted that the team dropped too deep, but surely that instruction must come from him.
Still I am looking forward to next week at Prenton park, which will be another tough game.
