Aah ,thanks for that —it must have been quite near the end of the match … every time our lot start chanting that, we can’t seem to get anywhere near the ball for the next ten minutes or so .Well done today, totally outplayed us
Good luck with the future and securing your clubs future.
Hopefully you enjoyed us singing Martin out

Was anyone else nearly caught out by the paper’s 22% price increase?

One of the most comforting posts earlier in this thread was that which informed us that, per his partner, Harry Taylor loves playing for the club. Coming from someone who was not a regular starter last season, that is good to hear. Confirms what other players have said about the camaraderie within the squad. Fingers crossed that it remains so come what may. None of us know what is round the corner, not even the Great Helmsman I suspect.
Nope, I've never bought it.

In the West Stand ⭐
Truly justified the decision I made right at the last minute. I got to that head v heart moment and being honest I started thinking why the **** is Kev and team still here. I needed to support them and also fed by a bit of well being etc. You get to see your dad and spend quality time with him. So I decided to buy the season tickets.
Turned up at 1:38 and had to park right up by the hospital and then a slow walk to the west stand with dad but I wanted to buy a kit so walked to the shop first. Got there at just gone 2pm and the queue was out the door. Couldn’t find an XXL home kit so picked up the away and asked my dad to watch to see if they were replenishing stocks.
I’m the queue was a mother and son. The son was probably about 6 or 7 but he was soo excited and just didn’t stop talking. I actually started to feel sorry for his mum as the closer to the end of the queue we got the more excited he got.
He just wanted to put on that shirt. Found out he’d seen 1 game last season and loved it so much he made his mum bring him again. This is our lifeblood and there were soo many youngsters yesterday.
Just before I got to the end of the queue my dad had managed to get a home kit in my size as well. Great start and let’s face it such awesome kits this year!
Walking round to the west stand dad and I did the usual talking everything SUFC. We both thought this was gonna be a tough one and when he asked me how I saw it I said the only thing that could work in our favour is that our team was a close knit group that knew how each other played but I thought they would struggle later on due to fitness and the lack of pre season.
Queued up and got in so easily. They just scanned the QR codes and we were through. 12:29 time to queue for a pint
. The queue was right the way back to the door and moved slowly until the pump obviously needed changing and it appears that both taps are connected to the same barrel so complete standstill for 5 minutes. Would be better to have a barrel connected to each tap to avoid complete loss of service Got served at 2:43 with 17 mins till kick off.
Moved to the concourse and it hit me how many fans had bought the new kit. I would say 1 in 4 to 5 were proudly wearing it and got asked 4 times how much it cost and told how good it looked. They have got this bang on this year.
Went inside and took our seats. In awe of the away support and really thought today with all that has happened is a free hit. And then……
Well one of the most competent displays I have seen from the boys! The movement, energy, passing, passion and desire was second to non. The amount of balls in behind their defence put them under pressure from the get go.
Completely on top throughout although around the hour mark there were signs of fatigue at times but the crowd pulled the players through this.
My scores on the doors
Andeng Ndi - 8 All round solid game important safe to his left in the 1st half and 2 important commanding catches from corners. Gave me a heart attack in the 2nd half with 3 poor passes that could have been costly.
GSM - 8 The passion this guy shows is just incredible. Worked tirelessly up and down the flank and a couple of really timely interceptions
Ralph (C) - 10 MOTM This is the best I’ve ever seen him. Crutch tackles time after time. Won ever header and connected so well down the left flank. Incredible performance.
Kensdale - 7 This one surprises me a bit cause although generally solid and in control he gave away the ball the most and one of them was a real hospital ball. Made up for it in the man on man that he did. Normally better in my eyes.
Bridge - 7 Connected well down the left flank with the trio of him Ralph and Fonguck. Just didn’t feel that he had us man as usual.
Husin - 8 Really worked his socks of and some of his passing was sublime. Through balls behind their defenders on several occasions putting us on the front foot and connected so well with Miley.
Cardwell - 8 Lead the line really well and his movement was at times inspired. Was a real handful for opposition and his movement for Mooneys goal was wow
Powell - 7 Worked his socks off as always and took his goal really well. A player that breeds on confidence. Still has a tendency to want to do it on his own a times. Needs to look up and find a pass and he would be so much a more complete player.
Taylor - 9 Wow, just wow. If it was Hobson’s choice then give me Taylor every day of the week. The amount of interceptions this man made. Player that deserved the clean sheet the most!!
Miley - 8 His usual dependable commanding presence in midfield that we have grown to love. Connected well with those around him and bossed the park.
Fonguck - 8 Blood sweat and tears from this man and played himself into the ground and when he was subbed you could see he had given his all. More of this Wes please and once in a while shoot ffs
Mooney - 8 Its all about the goal. When he joined and I watched the vids of his goals at Altrincham I thought wow. This goal was better than any in that vid it brought a tear to my eye! Hope he stays!
Coker - 8 Played like there was nothing to fear and by golly when a chance arrived he let it fly! Mature display and lovely assist to hope he builds on this performance
Demetriou - 7 Mr dependable to help see the game out. Did his job!
The emotion throughout the game and at the end was for the fans, staff, players and management team that have given so much.
Just what this club could achieve if only you know what!!
Took the old man back to Chelmsford then drove back to Peterborough with a massive smile on my face and lost my voice in the process.

Well Mr Martin, knowing your stated love of the Club was just wondering how you were planning to show your appreciation to the players for such an outstanding performance? Pay the B&L water bill so they have showers and can flush a toilet ? I know how about sell up and just feck off! Oh and don't forget to pay the taxman on your way out!

There are times when the Gods don't shine on you, particularly for this poor Oldham supporter. You reall have to feel genuinely sorry for the bloke. (From their fans Board)
As far as opening days of the season go that was an interesting one... Designated driver... Car hit in the car park whilst we were having a pre setting off breakfast leaving a dent by the rear passenger wing, perp ****ed off leaving no details... Arse handed to us on a plate by a team with 14 contracted players... Blow out on the A1 87 miles from home, 2 hours in a lay bay waiting for a mobile tyre fitter who relieved me of £279 for the privilege as the car has no spare and the tyre repair kit didn't work... Flashed by a speed camera less than a mile from home at around midnight so another 100 quid and 3 points to add to the day... Still, only 3 points off the top... I may drink today.

Terrific team performance against the so called Oldham all stars who looked like they just all met on the bus to the ground. Only one team looked like they had a pre season. Just shows a well drilled team who know each other’s games beats higher league players. We did look leggy in the before our second goal but thankfully got the boost and second wind from that goal and Oldham then threw the towel in. Big congratulations to our superb coaching team.

Not much to add that has not been said, Ralph my MOTM, lead the team with a 100% commitment. Down to earth with a bump for Oldham, they looked shell shocked, if our players can stay fit we can still do something this season. Oh and avoid points deductions of course. UTB

Observations…
Roots Hall looked as good as it ever has over recent seasons.
Considering the state the pitch was in a couple of weeks ago, I thought it looked in perfect condition.
Team performance, I was gobsmacked, really didn’t see it coming.
All of the above achieved IN SPITE of Ron Martin. He must be forced out.
I just hope that we as fans cut the management team some slack when we hit a dodgy patch, which we almost certainly will, especially with the the embargo.
