Back to back wins Yeaaaaa.

And JET scores.......

No we don't get back to back wins and JET is crap and peaked already.

Pull your finger out - we're certs for relegation.

Have you not kept up with otib (the source of factual knowledge) in the past few weeks?

Huge result - sounds like a match that explians both why we have been struggling, and why we might just have enough to stay up.

Well done the lads, and the fans.

Boring stat, but played 12 teams twice now. Same result in nine, and better in three, in all cases turning previous draws in to wins. Just what is needed.

Just sat in the car waiting to go home. Made hard work of a game that should have been 3-4 nill.

Why El-Adb continues to get a game is beyond me. At fault for second and gave away foul after foul.

Midfield trio were very good as was Byran. Fairly quiet game for Baldock and JET had his moments, pearler of a goal.

We'll need to defend much better against better sides but 3 points is 3 points. Onwards and Upwards. COYR

'cos to drop El-Bad would be a massive loss of face for SC - not going to happen (sadly)... still it's all about the result :clapping:

Stevenage on a charge. Still plenty of games to go, but at the moment looks like Notts and the Shrews, plus any two of the next six. Better odds than we have had for a while. Am I allowed to say a point at boro would be a good one?

I am sure the bloke formerly called ivan will find some way to criticise JET just to contribute to hounding the guy out the door at seasons end.  :facepalm:

 

On a positive note that was a seminal win bearing in mind the next two games.. and the confidence will do us no end of good. Clean sheet on tuesday night?.. lets get our first of the season on the road (or there about's) at probably the hardest place to get it.

All things being equal, going Tues as well, not that far from MK. Put ourselves in a position where a couple of decent results now, and we will be able to see the finish line.

Why the heck do 4 go down in this league anyway? Seems no great logic behind it.

Cannot believe the Jet haters, only the Peterborough striker has got more goals than Jet's 19 in this division & only 6 teams have have scored more goals than us, the problem is & always have been with our woeful defence, luckily we have 2 players with 37 goals between them, the best pairing in the division

True dat!

Be nice to keep the momentum going though, I just keep thinking madcap defending will continue to hinder us.

Fair point. I remember us scoring 100 and still finishing in the bottom half :(

Don't be unfair; the problem has also been our woeful midfield

Agree on the JET issue; for many people on this forum, it'll be a case of don't know what you've got till its gone

The JET-haters are just incompetent nobodies who are jealous of a competent somebody.

Not been a hater, but he certainly did go through a fair old dip in form. Last few games there does seem to be some evidence he is getting back to form, and a goal today is real icing on the cake.

I am sure every city fan will welcome that.

Its like I said on that JET thread... he is well entitled to a 'drop in form' as you put it. He can walk around the park reciting Shakespeare for another 3 or 4 games and he will still have credit in the bank. 18 goals and he gets any criticism at all is mind bogglingly dumb.

Thanked the excellent support today... Lets ALL get behind him for the rest of the season.

Absolutely correct. The issue has never ever been up front,but the centre of our defense. I do think Flint will be missed if he is out, and El is going to be picked whatever, so it seems.

Most of us have been behind Jet through his bad spell and fully appreciate his wonderful contribution this season, the dogs abuse he has received has been shameful, the likes of Ivan & BemmyJeff are notable by their absence tonight

On way back, was a good day and a much needed 3 points.

Was quite funny getting w4nker signs and other things from the CATS coaches while we waited outside the ground for our taxi, obviously thought we were Shrewsbury fans.

Well they do say Coach One are a bit unwelcoming to anyone who isn't 'one of them'

Huge huge 3 points. I honestly can't wait for Tuesday now. Will be leaving work early for it!

Performances at this stage of the season don't matter we just need points on the board.

JET....what a goal. Only at BCFC would morons want a player with that ability sold....of course we can do so much better can't we?

As for El-Abd absolute liability. He just gets worse every week.

Not sure what you watched, although he hardly had a blinder he did his job, no different from the rest of the defenders

Second goal was down to him IMO. Put the ball out of play under no pressure, then lost his man from the resulting throw, who then delivered the cross for their headed goal.

 

I think there's green shoots there though - he throws his body into everything

That's the problem, performance wise he is improving but after making mistakes I would have thought his concentration levels would improve at least but clearly not. It just worries me that he's kept in the team no matter what.

Pearson got beat easily by the by-line for the cross for the second goal, to be honest I can't really remember what else happened. So have to watch it again

Just think some of the stick he gets is a bit unfair. He's clearly nervous on the ball, or whenever the ball comes close to him. But that's why he's playing at this level I guess

He does and is an easy target at the moment I guess. Trouble is he was meant to be the leader/nasty type we needed. A 'tough cookie' shouldn't get so nervous and battle through the tough times. Strangely enough I still think he could be a good signing but worry that it might turn into a Fontaine situation if he continues to cost us goals but isn't taken out of the firing line.

I think he'd just be better in a conventional back 4 with a proper left back next to him. Maybe Flints injury might force SC to play players in logical positions.
