Either the last game of the season for the yellows or looking forward to one of the most important games “arguably“ in our history.
The first leg was a very tense affair for both clubs and neither team really did enough to go into the 2nd leg with a lead.
Both teams will have to play better If they want to get through to the play off final against what is increasingly looking like Wycombe after their first leg victory at the seaside and both teams are more than capable of putting on a good performance.
Did we learn anything from Friday‘s game, yes we did.......
1- Woodburn needs to Stamp his authority in games if he wants to progress as a player.
2- Sam Long needs to concentrate on defending and not going ”Gung Ho” up the wing, he was out of position so many times and dare I say he was our weakest link.
And 3- Matty Taylor needs more service with the ball in front of him to get the best out of him.
Marcus Browne is a very good player at this level and could win games on his own with more self belief.
The remainder of the team to a man gave what we expect, determination, grit, passion, hard working and skill.
.
If we play as we did on Friday I do believe our season will be over.
However, we all know we can play better and on our day we can rip through teams when everything clicks.
.
Motivation comes from within and our players seem to have the “never say die” attitude in abundance so COME ON YOU YELLOWS.....
