A Touch Far Vetched

Nice to win a last game of the season again, even nicer to smash Nathan Jones in Swansea and very satisfying to see one of our own youngsters given an opportunity.

The result was mostly meaningless, the action meandering until bursting into life in the last quarter, but there were a few important positives for the future:-

⚽️ Adam Idah - another two really good finishes. He’s bagged goals since returning from injury and he could be an immediate answer should we lose Zan the Man this summer

⚽️ Leo Walta - top drawer free kick, another long range effort beaten away and several good touches and deliveries. Could be an important player next season IF we are brave enough to play him regularly and let him go and express himself

⚽️ Thomas Woodward - one cross, one goal, the youngster displaying the composure and decision making that’s been sadly lacking from the likes of Ronald and Inoussa all season. But his cameo was much more than that and he got so involved high up the pitch and looked to make things happen. Looks a real prospect.

Let’s hope there’s a plan in place for the summer recruitment. Bring a couple of quality players in and give some of our own youngsters a real fighting chance and next season could see us challenging (helped by the change to the play offs extended down to eighth)

Bring it on already ✊🏻

Rimmer had joined Hamrun Sparta alongside Bob Latchford at the start of the month but both players quickly returned due to homesickness.

Was this handsome young chap inspired by our Matos Magnificent Beard article…or was he himself the inspiration for it?

We want to give something back to Kev Johns - so we have put one of our signed Snoop Dogg posters up for auction...
