First time we've won there in over 20 years, and first time I've seen us do it in 6 visits going back to 1978 !
Great team performance against a full time side. Was congratulated by a number of their fans when leaving, and I have to agree with the one who reckoned they wouldn't see a better goal than JJ's this season.
Particularly pleased with the way we weathered the 10 minute storm following their equaliser. Bad free kick decision from another poor ref (nowhere near as bad as Saturday's clown though !) and I thought Thompson's positioning was questionable. Previous Alty sides would have buckled, but we fought them off.
Agree with all the above.
Thompson won't be happy when he sees it back but I'm sure he'll learn for next time.
Great performance and what a goal from JJ.
Full Time? So they practice that all week then? Wow.
PP's Red & White Army!
My one and only negative is that it was another set piece goal we've conceded which makes it 3 from 3..
Agree with all the above too.
JJ’s goal is surely already a candidate for goal of the season, even decade. I was in line with the shot so to see it coming towards me and curl the way it did, in seeming slow motion, outside the reach of a diving keeper was almost balletic. With JJ hitting it in his stride with the outside of his right foot made it appear very Showleresque too.
A very enjoyable night so thanks to the team.
