OutByEaster? Posted May 1, 2018 Moderator Share Posted May 1, 2018 Two finals to come. Hopefully one for the first team too. This could be quite an ending to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 WOW that 2nd Half! I just watched it, i watched the first half live then paused the YouTube stream to watch the Champions League, then came back to watch the 2nd half without knowing the outcome. Though it was obvious it wasn't going to extratime as the length on the video wasn't long enough, I knew there was going to be a winner but just not which way haha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted May 2, 2018 Author Moderator Share Posted May 2, 2018 Stats updated. So the promotion final will be at home to 3rd placed Brighton on a date yet to be decided. Brighton handed us our joint heaviest defeat during the season when they beat a relatively young Villa side 3-0 at the Checkatrade stadium in February with goals from Tyler Hornby-Forbes, James Tilley & Henrik Bjørdal. We won the home tie back in September 1-0 courtesy of Jordan Lyden. I'm nervous about this one if I'm honest, because of our fixture congestion. We have a cup final coming up on Friday aswell which will be this team's 7th game in a month. Conceding 3 against a fresh Reading side was a warning sign about what can happen to a superior side on tired legs. I fear this team may be running out of gas. I'll be honest, I'd use the kids in the cup final (which in this context I guess means the 10 year olds). We can't miss out on promotion. They've had their cup run and the experience that goes with it. They will of course want to lift the trophy, so for me it would realistically be cameos and fringe players. I just really hope we don't end up empty-handed after all is said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted May 2, 2018 Author Moderator Share Posted May 2, 2018 Fun but utterly useless fact about last night's squad. The only player in the starting 11 or on the bench who wasn't aged either 19 or 20 was Jacob Bedeau. He won't be 19 until Christmas Eve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Hepburn-Murphy was MOM for me. Absolutely scared their defence shitless. Doyle-Hayes a close second. He was everywhere, always involved, kept the team ticking over. Great performance. Both of these guys will be future regulars in our first team. I am convinced of this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Forgot say. Was very impressed by Blackett-Taylor. Came on as a sub, and brought a lot of energy and trickery to our left wing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompedyret Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Hepburn-Murphy, Blackett-Taylor and Doyle-Hayes. A line with those three will be like having six players! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted May 4, 2018 Moderator Share Posted May 4, 2018 Lively start - Swansea look a good side, but we've looked lively when we've got into attacking positions. We do look a little vulnerable at the back without either of our regular centre backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted May 4, 2018 Moderator Share Posted May 4, 2018 We look quite balanced with Doyle-Haye and Clark in midfield scurrying and working, O'Hare deep, RHM on the shoulder and the two wingers - of the four front players I'd have to say Green looks the one who's not quite at it.
