Could Freez tell us how to pronounce the name of the keeper on the subs bench, please?

Edit:- Cheers for that! - More trouble with the Yeovil chap than Sz....

Yeovil - Baxter Dickinson Mugabe Brother wine Gray Arqun McDonald D'Almeida James Olomola Donellan subs Nelson Patrick Zoko Rogers Pattison Mahmutovic Santos

Bit unfair, Yeovil playing with 12 players?

Or have they only got six players and you gave both names?

Baxter Dickinson,
Mugabe Brother,
Wine Gray,
Arqun McDonald,
D'Almeida James
&
Olomola Donellan?

[AndyReifman]

Let's go!

Good looking goal.

[Keith]

Superb goal!

Great build up, Leitch-Smith out to Mandeville. Mills bombed down the wing, which took their defender with him, allowing Mandeville to knock in to Leitch-Smith in the penalty area. He turned and shot beautifully.

[paschahound]

Great to see AJ getting in such a superb pizza the action early on.

[Keith]

I think we're all seeing a different side to Oliver's game. He's winning everything and allowing others to use the space.

[paschahound]

I like this ref. Having a really good game so far.

[Keith]

Penalty!!!

First one of the season... who takes them???

Leitch-Smith to take...

Missed! Saved. Oliver tried a rebound that was also saved.

[AndyReifman]

What a goal that would have been!

We're looking pretty good today, despite the missed penalty.

[Keith]

Oliver gets the ball in the net but was off-side. Come on Morecambe, we need a second before half time.

[Keith]

Superb save from Halstead! scooped over the bar on 40th minute.

[black morse]

Who's captain today?

[Keith]

Who's captain today?

Wildig I think.

[Keith]

Reece with ANOTHER cracking goal! Picked the ball up about 35 yards out, on the touch line. Twisted & turned past a couple of their players, then struck a great shot! Ball bounced in front of the keeper, totally wrong footing him.

[Keith]

Another good save from Halstead.

We're trying to waste time, I think we should be going for it and looking for third. When we try and hold it up near the corner, when they get out, they break. Come on, go for a third!

[Keith]

2-1 and it's been coming.

[Keith]

I think the problem is, once you've slowed the game down and tried time wasting, it then becomes difficult to pick the tempo back up again. They've got a lifeline, so they are naturally on the 'up' while we're on the back foot.

Come on lads, don't let this slip.

[Keith]

Kenyon coming on for my MotM Oats. Played really well.

[Keith]

From about 70th minute, we were prating about and took the heat out of a game that we had momentum in. Since then, we've been battered. They deserved at least a point... ...but how often have we said that about us? Excellent three points!

Halstead MotM with three or four good saves, although I thought Oats would get it.

[tim-sanchez]

An excellent 30 minutes between the 30th and the 60th carried us through there. I wish we'd scored that penalty mind! We were dreadful after conceding, painful to watch at times.

I think credit has to go to Jim, he not only made some decent subs but made some tactical changes, like Cranston marking their #17, that took the sting out of them slightly. Also credit to the ref, he made a few odd throw-in decisions but I thought on fouls he was excellent, and he didn't let himself get intimated by the Yeovil players. We often berate referees on here, but lets add today's ref to the list of good ones.

[KenyonTime]

6 Points clear of the dropzone thanks to a very, very, very pleasing result! Perhaps not the best performance, but that hardly matters when you pocket the win. Next League match is Forest Green, right? Going to be a tougher contest than Yeovil for sure.

[Keith]

We often berate referees on here, but lets add today's ref to the list of good ones.

And the first time we'd had him so presumably he's quite new to the list? Agree, he had a good game. Penalty was the correct decision too.

[BerlinWaller]

When Oates, Mandy and AJ link up, it is a pleasure to watch. Good point about only really playing well for the middle part of the game but they were always going to push forward. Our game management was horrible in the last ten but it's good to have some excitement.

Halsted made some great saves especially from their free kick taker. He was straight out of the Ryan Williams mould. Luke Conlan is the most improved footballer we have seen in a long time.

[Andy D]

I like Jordan Cranston playing in this new role protecting the back 4, looks a better there than at L/B

Some good perfomances, everyone put a good shift in.
