Hawkins

Ricketts

Opinel

Slatter

Quinn

Coleman

Moore

MacDonald

 

Subs: Mott, Anderson, Ekoku, Sodje, Purcell

[Hempstead Gaz]

By all accounts front Mike and Lord Chas it is all very dull and uneventful.

That will do for me, so long as the score remains the same.

I am pleased that Coleman has been given the nod and as discussed earlier there won't be any defensive minded substitutions....lets hope none of the defenders get a knock.

1-0 the fleet wahooo

[Fleet boys]

1-0 slatter what a goal

[ColtheJock]

Benn listening on the Net, and we are hanging on, could not stand it anymore!!! Come on Fleet, this would be a great response to Tuesday night, and shows we have hope for the rest of the season.

[Richard C]

[BustaGut]

Game over, and a great win for the boys, just the result needed after Tuesday night against a team just above us in the league. Another big game to come next week, but then I suppose every game is important at the moment. Well done to the Fleet.

[Fleet boys]

i think up to 6th as exeter drew

[Richard C]

yeeeeees!! get in there!! great win. What is going on on the radio after the whistle - the heavy breathing and groans scare me!

[Fleet boys]

i think they should have switched it back but havent

[KShep]

Brilliant, the best answer we could have had, beating our bogey team and holding them to a clean sheet at their ground! Nice to hear Slatts got a good goal, the lad needed that for his confidence. Roll on Saturday! Played lads!

[Slartibartfast]

Great result, well done to all.

[Hannah]

CORRRRR yesssssssss!

 

Hard match that!

[Bernard]

Finally we've defeated the Burton Albion Conference hoodoo. When they were finishing in the bottom half we couldn't beat them and now they're looking decent we can. It's a strange world.

[cockneyred]

great result and solid performance, my mate phoned me to report -charlie hit the post and burtons chances limited to a load of long range shots off target,everyone worked hard with coleman man of the match, he made the goal for slatter with great flick and was everywhere keeping their highly rated full back quiet,deserved to win despite a load of burton pressure in 2nd half-confidence must be good going into woking game

[Bernard]

It will certainly be interesting to see which team turns up on Saturday. We'll have to hope it's today's team and not Tuesday's. Woking home matches tend to be instantly forgetable and sightly dull, so I'm thinking a draw might be on 'the cards'. Chuckle.

Great result today! After watching the Stafford game on Tuesday and then going to Croatia for the England game, the week has thankfully ended on a high note. Up to 6th and sitting nicely just outside the play-off places and we still have DeBolla, Keeling, Ross and Stacy Long to come back from their injuries.

Very tense but great match up there today!

 

The goal was a real team goal, 7 or 8 1 touch passes and as mentioned a great back heel by Coleman to set Slatts free, superb finish too.

 

Charlie had a couple of chances, shame he couldnt put one away, but he was unlucky to see his shot after a counter-attack come rocketing back off the post.

 

Burton pushed forward after our goal, but we had men behind the ball and they had 1 maybe 2 clear cut opportunities.

 

Liam Coleman was MOM for me, work rate was again top class, and creativity was impressive too.

 

To be honest I think the sooner we get Ross back the better. He was on the pitch at half time knocking it about, but I understand he's missed 2 or 3 training sessions this week so was likely he watch unfit to play. Hawkins looked a little shakey today, and let Clare (I think) through once or twice, and he doesnt look comfortable on the ball, losing possesion on a number of occasions by 'shoveling' it.

 

We took around 60 up today who witnessed a performance 10 times better than Tuesday thank god! A well deserved 3 pts!

 

Up the Fleet!

I agree, Sleepy!!! Liam Coleman was my MOM, closely followed by Slatts, fantastic goal. We go into woking game on a high note, we can win against the highly rated team, without some of the key players. We're in a good position, same points as Exeter who lie in 5th.

let's keep it going Fleet Boys!!!!

[Hempstead Gaz]

And buoyed by the fact that the teams around us mostly did themselves no favours either.

all in all it was a good day to pick up 3 poits.

In the words of Meatloaf "You took the words right out of my mouth"...

It was good to see that the team we had been watching for the previous 14 games of the season prior to Tuesday night turn up today and well done to the lads for puting that defeat behind them. With the performance of the defence today who were all "immense" it is difficult to see how you can drop anyone to bring in Ross. Quite a contradiction to my comments on the forum over the past week but before today Ross had missed 6 games for us in his time since joining us 14 months ago. In that time we had lost three drawn two and won one conceaded 13 and scored 6 so it is easy to say we are better with him than without him.

Although I thought it a good performance had Keeling been in the team we could really have done some damage. The right back looked weak and as Sacha is not the fastest wingback in the world it was difficult to penetrate. Liam tries to encourage him forward but he clearly doesn't want to do it and neither does Rickets.
