Title: Today was positive!
Post by: ForeverAlty on February 09, 2013, 05:54:07 PM
We didn't play great today against a good Corby side and we went on to win still!

Watmore had a full 90 minutes and was looking good until the end.

Lawrie is back and was playing well considering his lack of football recently.

Back to my first point, a few months ago I reckon we would have lost today but winning games we didn't deserve to is a great sign of progress!

Lets keep this great run going!  :)

We were poor at the back in the first half, and the pitch didn't really suit our passing game. I'll take the three points.

In the general eulogies over Duncan's outstanding performance, let's not forget the obligatory classy show from Stu. And Scott Leather had another fine game when he came on. When the highlights are up, I hope we can watch the pass he played for Duncan about 5 minutes from the end which was Premier League standard.

Stu made another incredible save to tip it over the bar what a servant that man has been to this club

Hard fought game on a heavy pitch.  

We were below par from recent standards but it was a different kind of game today.  They worked very very hard and never let us settle.  That 8 for them was an absolute bear.

Stuart was immense again (their goal was deflected apparently), Watmores goal was incredible and Scott Leather made a huge contribution when he came on.

No one was really poor today buy a few were below their best.

That said, the table will say we got three points today and that is what matters.

Cannot wait to see Duncans goal again..

Workmanlike performance - Won ugly but it reads as 3 pts gained however they were earned - this scenario last season would have seen us lose that game today.  Well done lads Onwards and Upwards

Duncan Watmore's goal - Superb

Scott Leather - another great performance

I don't think everyone understands me, when I say it's positive, it's because we played poor but still won!

All good teams and successful teams have to win some games like this, where the points should not have gone their way yet they still do.

This is what i mean!

Playing badly and winning is, if you're of a positive persuasion, potentially a good sign.

The art of playing badly and winning is down to sheer graft and persistence.

Last season, we had the big wins but couldn't grind out the ugly wins. It therefore is a massive positive that we now appear able to do both. Long may it continue!  :)

It was positive.  The backdrop of our recent performances highlight yesterday was not up to the same standards.  Corby were no mugs, they played to their strengths.  A three point haul, some individual performances to warm the heart and fourth place make it a positive.  A foot note on a school report would red "could, and has, done better". 

Come on Alty - keep this run going.
