Brackley Town

[Cliff Byrne’s Right Peg]

Well deserved.
Roberts and Rowley excellent.
New lad Rose solid home debut
Great first goal Beestin.
Questionable defending to make it a tighter game than it should’ve been.

HAVE to follow this up with 2 more home wins in the upcoming week.

Agree with all that Cliff and I thoroughly enjoyed the game, we played some good stuff at times and yeah the end was a bit nervy after conceding that stupid second which should have been cleared but hey it’s a win and for most of it we were decent . Delighted Beck is finally off the mark ( no pun intended ) it was scrappy but they all count and it won us the game.UTI.

We made Brackley look very average 2 or 3-0 would have been a fair result, could so easy have ended 3-3 and I honestly think that would have being the final act for Butler, but really pleased for Butler it didn’t.
And will revel in the excellent performance overall, played some lovely football at times just cant understand why we can be so good and then the next be beyond poor.

Jeez what a topsy turvy league this really is.

Well done the Iron and a follow up the next two games would be great.
Hope you have a good feeling about next two games Deerey ;)

Besides the lapses of concentration,the second half was very enjoyable to watch. First time I’ve been able to say that for a long time.

Leggy? Did they walk to GP?

Don’t hold your breath. But where there’s a will…

We seem to have a cushion to midtable, which is good and a surprise since we were told this was our limit based on preseason games.

[cassidystash]

Manager “expecting to win games” is a dangerous attitude IMO.

[cassidystash]

Some of our passing sublime, some reminded me of Sheffield Park in the 60’s.
How Torps thought MOM should have been one of the CBs is unbelievable, young Rose was decent though and saved 2 points.

You saw Awaywego in his footballing prime?

Several candidates for MOTM which indicates a decent team performance overall and nobody had a bad game IMO. Thought Rowley was a decent shout to get it, reckon it was his best game for us yet certainly at home.

[Deereyme66]

Guess Monday’s training session wasn’t so blue.

As far as I can remember he was too busy polishing his Doc Martens!

I hear he spends all day polishing his head now, the years have not been kind, lol.

Didn’t notice myself but someone i saw today said Roberts made a point of going to all 3 stands and applauding they questioned whether that was his last game for us.
Do hope not he was class yesterday.

Yep I remarked the same to my mate it was quite noticeable, hope it wasn’t his last game but if it is we just crack on, as with any other good player leaving.

Dont need him anyway, now we’ve got free flowing Beck!

[ironfromafar]

Just managed to catch the extended highlights and it looked a decent game especially second half.

Ironarmy and fan reaction vids also oozzzing praise and positivity.

Re Roberts
SHOULD HE STAY OR SHOULD HE GO NOW !!..hang on theres a song in there some where.

Hope he stays but if not CARRY ON REGARDLESS …. hang on ….

I think Brackley has an easier run in to the end of the season and with improving form they’re probably favourites to be league champions. Hope I’m wrong.

[Deereyme66]

We’re the current bookies favourites, closely followed by Chester and Brackley.

[Sanfran49]

The target for us is 11 games left and 11 wins. Do that and we are champions and promoted.

And that has to be it.

[mistertonmick]

As long as Brackley doesn’t win their last 11 Sanfran

Been fretting about this supposed better run in. Just checked – I don’t think it’s that much better or easier than ours tbh, and we know any team in this league can throw up a surprise. I’d say Chester’s run in looks more difficult, on paper.

[Northumbiron]

Just noticed their stats: 21 wins, 10 defeats but only 4 draws.

If they finish above us then it’s pretty obvious what the difference is. We seem to have settled for too many draws. If there was ever a case for “going for it” Brackley look to be proving it.
