Maybe I mean running at them from pace from deeper, trying to go past the fullbacks and either cut in towards the box or stay wide and cut back rather than stop, pass back, pass across, repeat until extra time
With opposition like today we’re going to be damed if we do, damed if we don’t on a hiding to nothing the most disappointing thing was we had no urgency it was a bit complacent which is a problem for us has been before Ange and will be after he’s long gone …….he’s at the helm just now so in a way responsible for not letting the team he picks be so, but we won so fuck it …..
But he's human, and prone to emotions that all of us experience during a game. Even the most most ardent purists, who only want to play a certain way, will always experience a game in which they're just happy to come away with the win - whether you're a fan, or employed at the upper echelons of the game. To beat someone for behaving as such seems unnecessary, and possibly a touch vindictive because he's main views don't align with yours perhaps? I don't know, but I do know there are individuals here guilty of far worse than being grateful of win, even if that does seem to contradict his previous comments
It's not the first time that we (and plenty of other examples) have struggled breaking down non-league opponents.
Tamworth (i think) have lost twice in twenty seven home games, and that on an artificial surface, something I doubt any of our players have ever played ninety minutes of football on. It is a totally different surface, and I am amazed that the FA allowed it to be played on one?
Many years ago I went to the Rushden v Leeds United FA Cup game where Diamonds took the then mighty Leeds ( then under Leary) to a replay, and actually (as i remember) scored first at Ellend Road in the replay. In the first game, Leeds were played off the park, partially through fear of losing (IMO) and part from playing a team with a plan and discipline.
Games on paper sometimes don't go to plan, and the "this team lies sixty places below in the Fish Finger second division, South league" doesn't really mean anything on the day.
The "Giant Killer" tag didn't come about from Man City losing to a Norwich, Brentford losing to Plymouth.
Giant killing came about through one team full of part timers, who were well drilled, played to a system and had a plan.
I know Andy Peaks (not well) but have spoken to him after many games when he played for Rushden under Ashby and later Talbot.
He isn't stupid, and could and should be managing at a higher level.
Hard game, we won, move on.
COYS!

....Says the guy that spent years calling Maddison a "wankhorn"; only to miraculously turn into JMs own personal white knight cos graphs.
Didnt The Sun sponsor them. I'm sure they got a few quid from them.
Not the first time we have struggled against non league opposition , FA Cup 1979 at White Hart Lane could only draw with Altrincham and we had Ardiles , Villa , Perryman and Peter Taylor in our team.
Some of our players really stuggled with judging the bounce of the ball on that pitch today, really should have done better they are highly paid professionals so no excuses.
Hope we get a PL team in the draw hate games against lower league teams.

Just another twat trying to make a name for himself on social media!
Serious question to all the neg heads and drama queens on here.
Whose shoes would you rather be in right now? Ours or Woolwich?
We are still in three winnable competitions. Their season just ended five minutes ago...
It really isn't all bad when you stop and think about it
