The only fly in the ointment is the two ahead of us (Newport and Exeter) and the one behind us (Bradford) have a game in hand.
Points in the bag are more important than games in hand.

Turley was immense once more how he was ignored for so long is an absolute mystery to me. Also a big shout out to Akinola as well those two were like two pillars of stone with the motto of gangulf “you shall not pass”

That’s been the case since Jobi took over. Has always had to be factored into our position.

Great result . Very compact and wanted to win every second ball. Defence played with authority with Turley and Ankinola superb . Cannot fault anybody even Ling played well.

Nice and solid away win. Job done.
Momentum really with us now.
Huge game on Monday.

Keep it up O’s

Johnson scoring again is almost as important as winning today

At least he’s admitted the weakness and done something about it
^ yeah, not leaving your weakest link exposed as opposed to just hoping everything will be ok as we played under Embleton is smart.
I think that is the truth of it. Ling played well, got the assist and made some decent clearances. Did OK. But too often the wrong side of his man and stranded up field, slow in getting back. Kemp, Jobi, Akinola all at times covered for him. Can’t have been team orders for him to push whilst the likes of Kemp and Jobi stay back. So well done the team for covering, to be fair they did for each other.

What a total surprise it is with our 4th win on the trot ?!! Tempo increased, players played in right positions, forward balls, Brophy in on the left wing, Turley back from the cold, players playing in a more positive way as opposed to sideways , backwards etc. Mmm, hopefully, we haven't left it too late.

Amazing isn't it, who could've seen that being the answer? :D

Now the question is would you change this side for the next game if the two absentees today are fit to return? I guess Jobi will want to take himself out if at all possible.

Yes, I would definitely put Happe back in and shuffle Akinola back out to RB.

Yes, I would definitely bring Wilko back in for Jobi and get Kemp back in the middle of the pitch.
