TOPIC: United v Stevenage match thread

Todays team, just one change Comley replaces Hery
Gillespie, McQueen, Raynes, Ellis, Atkinson, Comley, Joyce, Kennedy, Hope, Wyke, Ibehre.
Subs: Hanford, Hery, Gilliead, Rigg, Thompson, Asamoah, Gillesphey

Not much creativity in that line-up.

Asamoah > Hope

Struggling so far. Need three points from this.

I hate to say it but I think we're missing Dicker.

They should be ahead for me. KC needs to change it at HT.

Going by Lummy and Phillips total bilge.....

Sorry but Kennedy, Joyce have had a far better impact for our team, Sweeney scores and gives 100% every game definitely a great squad player and massively underrated and Comley looks a real solid addition with at more mobility than Dicker! Just don't get how he's so highly rated?

1-0 Jabo's 15th of the season.

Much better 2nd half according to Jon Colman. McQueen and Gillesphey attacking from fullback and Gilliead seems to have added some much needed width.

1-0 full time, useful result looking at the other scores.

Played sh*t and still got three points. The bed wetters will be disappointed.

Needing a bit more width and creativity me thinks.

Probably the worst first half I have ever seen & I have seen a quite a lot.

Not a performance that will win over the Curle Haters on here.
First half was pretty abysmal, but 2nd half was much more like it.
Today was quite typical of a lot of the season in that we didn't play particularly well, but still managed to get a result.
This is no coincidence, we have much more of a competitive edge about us than we've had for quite a while. We are not a soft touch these days. We hardly look like promotion candidates, but still all to play for.

we are a hard team to beat now a far cry from last season only 3 teams have lost less games than us..

True we are not banging goals in right now but the defence is massively improved and looks solid enough to build a promotion chasing team from I expect more goals once Grainger fit again

Curle wasn't my choice for us however I think he has done a fine job in putting a capable squad together and when on form can certainly play a decent brand of football or grind out results like today when not playing fluently

I've seen a hundred worse first halves than that!

I doubt that

Split about today.

Positive: 3 points despite a relatively poor performance, Jabo back on the scoresheet, somehow we kept a clean sheet, and the changes Curle made at half time did the trick. I don't remember GA turning games around like that very often.

Negatives: We were hard pushed by a decidedly average opposition. Gave away far too many chances. Weren't in the game for the opening 45 minutes.

Think we'll struggle against Wimbledon unless we up our game. Still, 3 points that keep us in the frame.

Wimbledon play quite openly as we did at start of the season.. so this maybe the game when we see an open game with the scoring knack returning..a 3-3 draw
