Title: Two men can save us today...
Post by: markecky on April 23, 2011, 09:56:57 AM
Stevie Connors - play like a warrior but stay on the pitch.  Drag the others with you

Dale Johnson - I hope today is a day where Dale is unplayable.

These two perform and we'll win....

Come on Alty

So glad we've got Connors back for today, we're a different team when he's playing.

I seriously hope we can get him onboard for next season!

think smith and reeves being fit enough to start is also important.

Agreed, massive game for both, praying that Connors can keep his head and stay on the pitch, and Dale holds the forward line and feeds Reevesy.

I've not been this nervous before a game in years. I don't know how I would cope if we need to beat Eastbourne next week as well.!!

Personally I think we have more chance of winning if all the team play well, not just two of the players.

So you don't understand what I mean by that then?

I think the point is that for games like this  we really need the better players to step up and show what they can do.
If players like Ryan Brown played to the best of their ability it wouldn't really make a lot of difference, but Dale and Stevie could win the game with a moment of magic which could also get the other players going.
Robbie Lawton will need to be at his motivational best as well today.

Hmmmmmmmm so now its 3 players that can save us today. I would still rather have 11 and the subs, I think we have a much better chance if they all play.

Any reason you're spoiling for a row today? Think we've got bigger fish to fry to be honest

Ignore him, you're spot on about Connors and Dale. Obviously the other 9 need to put in a solid shift but these 2 can win games on their own through guys and determination.

If Connors and Dale had played at FGR we'd have won, fact.

If we'd have had the pair of em all season we wouldn't be in this position, fact.

Well, we've got en today so I'm feelin positive.

Here's to a win and to Connors not getting sent off and Dale not get kicked black and blue cos if we win were gonna need em both on top form for the last 2 games.

Come on lads, it's still doable .......

Pathetic, at this very time to be picking fights with other fans. Have a word with yourself.

Back to the original thread Mark's right, these are the two players who can do it for us.Remember, as low as we are we still have absolute quality in the side like the two mentioned above as well as the likes of Nicky Clee...and come on Doots, you are a proven keeper, let's see you play an absolute blinder!

Come on you reds

Hopefully Clee has the freedom to do his magic too, he's been restricted to nothing in the last few games but I believe that is because we've been playing without confidence, which means hoofball, which means the midfield is bypassed. With Connors back, we have someone who can create in the middle, so hopefully he can bring Clee back in to the game.

Come on you super reds

Hmm they did not perform well did they, but to be fair neither did the rest of the team. In fact we could probably have played with 22 today and still would have got beat. They were stronger than us, fitter than us and also wanted to win more than us, they played a simple game that involved quick incisive passing and murdered us. It is only my opinion but they made it look like a training match at times.

Yeh, from what I heard on the radio it was clear he wasn't right. Good on him for trying to play through the pain.

Also sounded like Dale tried hard but got sh*t service and was up against a very tough centre-back partnership.
