my JGB shpeel....
A terrible first 45, no pace in our passing nor adventure, some boos at ht though overall folk accepted 7 changes would disrupt our style somewhat. Wigan bossed first 20 mins and we barely threatened. Our reserve back 4 doing enough not helped by Billings booking early meant he couldnt risk tackling again lots of side and backwards severly lacked brave forward movement or that killer pass. Mooj quiet.
Second half playing towards a near 4000 following ( was there really just 1 POTD gate open for what turned out to be 2000 cash payers?) we upped it a few % , got better when Lolley came on to give us something else, Payne busy all game. Mooj booked for hacking down Deano brought on to add the bite Billing didnt have and we got it forward more and looked more likely at least.
Had 0 0 allover it in truth, they looked crap in the final 3rd - so its not just us. Fortunately early dementia set in with their 40 year old keeper and he inexplicably parried a shot high up to his left back towards the penalty spot where a very accepting Wells rammed home.
Went both ends in the final 14 mins, we had a great chance for a 2nd but Wells weak pass was intercepted.
Won ugly can only hope some of those on the bench or the likes of Schindler rested completely will be fresh whether they return for Vale or Wendy now, would like to see a stronger team on Sat and take the cup serious even if it impedes on the league with re-arranged midweek fixtures.
Overall 7 points over the 3 festive games is excellent unbeated in 7 a fantastic run, right in the pack and giving us all real hope for the 2nd half of the season.
