Thriller at the Bridge

WOW!

 

Went through all the emotions in that game. When that slightly fortunate 4th goal went in near the end for Waltham Abbey, I'd thought we might get an scrape an equaliser if we were lucky but never expected to get a winner. Waltham Abbey didn't come to make the numbers up, that's for sure.

 

Must have been a cracking game for the neutral -- me, I'm still in shock. There were some cracking goals in there as well.

 

Might be a long end to the season if this is what's coming.

What a bonkers game that was. Don't think I've experienced a 30 second period between celebrating the non goal of Sean's header, to the ping into the top corner from the Abbey no. 6.  Absolutely surreal.

 

Think that Nathan Livings deserves credit for having the vision and bottle to drill take that free kick underneath the jumping wall at such a crucial point in the game.

 

Big three points that also sent a message to the rest of the League that the team will keep going to the end and aren't resting on laurels even with the points gap and games in hand.

 

Agree with the comments about Assombalonga. I think him and the Dereham No. 9 are the best I've seen this season.

Brilliant. Brilliant, Brilliant 

 

Nine goals, a win, a phantom goal and we bring our record scorer off the bench to score the winner in the 'last minute'

 

Nearest to this for a late comeback that I can remember (I think) was a home game v Hastings quite a few years back when we came from behind to win (or draw) with 2 VERY (injury time?) late goals

 

(and despite recently conceding 8 goals in 2 games we still have the best defensive record in the league!)

WEYNOUTH 1 HORNCHURCH 2

 

FAC Q4, Sat, 25-Oct-08, A, Weymouth, 2-1, 904, Brightly, Barnard, Brown, Purdie, Goodfellow, Tomlinson, Curley, Janney, Lee 1, Green, Styles, Parker 1 / 9, Sylvester / 10, Hodges, Coyne, McFarlane, Wall - Stuart-Evans

 

Weymouth took the lead in the first half following a defensive error. Two minutes into the second half, Kris Lee put us level, and in the fourth minute of stoppage time Raphael Sylvester played the ball back into the middle for Simon Parker to score the winning goal, which led to some incredible scenes among the Hornchurch supporters behind the goal.

 

 

HORNCHURCH 3 HASTINGS 2

 

RPL, Tue, 25-Sep-07, H, HASTINGS UNITED, 3-2, 330, Brightly, Bostock, Glozier, Purdie, Goddard, Tomlinson, Cross, Janney, Lee K, Elmes, Lee D, Parker S / 9, Foyewa  , Oakley, Styles / 2, Keith / 5

 

Hastings took the lead two minutes before half time, and Mark Janney scored a penalty on 59 minutes, after a Hastings player was sent off for conceding the penalty. Hastings went ahead on 71 minutes. “We gonna win the league chanted the Hastings supporters – the EastSide’s reply cannot be printed.

 

Things got even worst when Elliot Styles was stretchered off, leaving Urchins a player short, and also of course a goal down. Urchins continued to press forward, but Tomlinson’s centre went too close to Worgan, whilst a Keith centre was deflected out for a corner, which David Lee took, and the keeper punched away, the ball coming back to David Lee, whose first time shot skimmed the post. A low cross from Janney went begging in front of goal, and a David Lee free kick went narrowly over the bar. And it was now well into stoppage time, with the knowledge that the referee had not added enough time on in the first half – would be blow up early again, despite the many hold ups?

 

For Hastings, it was slowly slowly – no need to run if you can walk for a throw in, now need to walk if you can get away with standing still. Simon Parker looked to have broken through on the left, his cross finding Janney, whose hard drive was blocked on the line, and David Lee, following up, hit his shot over the top. Three minutes into stoppage time, and Hastings pull everyone back. Four minutes into stoppage time and the ball flies over the bar. Last chance gone?

 

No, back they come again, five minutes into stoppage time, a massive scramble in front of goal and HARRY ELMES finishes it off. Uproar on the terraces, and 48 seconds later the uproar becomes pandemonium, when the ball bounces all over the place, and MARK JANNEY gets to the rebound and promptly wished he had not, when he is submerged under a sea of red and white. All over”.
