Dyche: 'The magic of half time' (From St Albans & Harpenden Review)

Composure. Possession. Passing. Please keep it up. I hate the ugly alternative. And so do many other absentees. Well done Sean & the boys.

Agreed

An even more impressive comeback than Engelbert Humperdinck's. Doyley back to his magnificent best.

To give Dychey credit he made a match winning change at half time although we did go 2 down in the 2nd half ofcourse.

We needed more width and pace in the side.

A great comeback indeed - whay are there not more posts? I guess it's because we won, acheived the unlikely and took another step towards safety. There are some pretty sad regulars on this website (I am sure the insults will come) but regardless, for me this is the sort of performance that goes a long way in cementing Championship football for another season. It wasn't the greatest game of the season but psychologically it could become one of the most important. Had we have lost again who knows...but we did not and we recovered against a decent side. A big well done to all involved, and I am really pleased for big Nosworthy to get one at the right end!! Great job SEan and the lads.

Look mate
You are pointing an accusing finger at certain people as on the other thread this evening.
But myself, SAH, Alex and Buckler have already posted, I think it's some of your mates missing as we're giving them nothing to **** about
Now off with your head, see how you like it!!!

Man enough? I am just pleased for the lads, I don't do idle threats from behind the safety of a keyboard I would rather call you out face to face as it were. It just seems crazy after such a great comeback there are not a few more on here cheering.

We can see you sneaking OUT! No likey Hard Men?

Missing out on the pointless squabbles from the regular children that have jack all to say,It was a great comeback and once we scored I knew we would win,Garner and Deeney worked there socks off,and Garner having a hand in 2 goals,was pleased for him.It took courage to come back from what was a demolishing 2-0 score,but they rolled up their sleeves and came out winners.This side has the ability if only they believed more in themselves.Hat's off to them.We were favourites for relegation and we have so far proved the bookies wrong.2 more wins and we are safe.

I don't understand your comment, I am glad we are three points closer to safety. What I have tried to say all along is that after such a result I am suprised (dissapointed) there are not more on here putting up supportive comments. It just seems to me that some people on here like to start trash talk all of the time. On to Tony's point I agree that the team could achieve more if only they had a bit more belief. Still not 100% on our loaned keeper, although he did make a great stop late on.

First half was diabolical the worst I have seen us play this season plus Buaben is definitely not a winger. The second was fantastic, you can say what you like about Dyce and his style of play and our lack of a goalscorer etc. But one thing he certainly has is the dressing room. Well played today.

we play cr*p , I am going to say we played cr*p ! we play good I am going to say we played good ! any problem with that Henry ?
Have not noticed you on here before "our Henry " maybe you just dont have any passion and it does not bother you when we lose succesive games by 0-7 ! but it does me, so excuse me for having an opinion !!.
Great comeback boys and keep that spirit going at West Ham.

Good, fair post Keith. Henry, you need a reality check, my pal!

Great comeback think Dyche made a mess of the team in the first place cos Buaben can't play as a winger.however I definitely fired them up at half time! Well done Dyche.Murray looks a great prospect good dead ball delivery vital 3 points yesterday.cmon you horns!

Everyone was really flat in the first half; it was no surprise that the crowd's librarian imitations had an impact on the side; it was like a morgue up to half time! Doyley's energy got everyone going in the second half by several rampaging runs from defence and coupled to Deeney's never side die attitude the crowd really started responding- we were all to blaim for the poor first half performance; even Harry the H looked decidely unimpressed and looked like he was angling to come on as sub in the second half. We've got to get more passion back in to the support but then again, not sure if it's ever been there on a consistent basis over the 40 years I've been going to the Vic.

I know we all hate losing, but on reflection Southampton beating Leeds last night does make it slightly easier to take, not a lot though.

Well I've been going forty odd years and remember our first taste of division two football as it was. The passion and noise was great as it was until Graham Taylor overly sanitised the old Vic.
I remember being in the old Rookery with less than 5 k in the ground and we always made a bit of noise.
It was different fans those days, mainly coming from the council estates with aspirations of donning the golden shirt. Today I think our support is more Cassiobury and hence the polite chaps we have become

Fair point both, but I think this apathy amongst the home crowd can be applied to quite a few stadia these days!
But with the lack of talent on show at most games and the days of the super-rich owners being key, what’s it really all about ?
We can cope with the despair but it’s the hope that kills us...

David Moyes summed up the modern game well here!

To be fair to Lutondown, buckler and the others that sometimes get on a downer a little too quickly I would have to say they have said it how it is on this occasion if u look at their original posts! The abuse that will start coming will now be in reaction to others comments ... My beef only comes when it gets personal to the players & staff and in general love a difference of opinion, but as promised I won't be rising to any (at the moment anyway!!) ... On to a football reaction ...
That first half was as bad as I have seen with too many players hoofing the ball up field, although TK is not installing any confidence in me he distributes the ball well but even he started to just smash it up field in the first half .. Second half was so much better and I doubt we will Ever play the prince in right mid again !! (not his fault but he was poor in the first half) .. Enjoyed the fight in the second half and seeing players lying flat out at the end of the game shows they have done all they can... Also loved it when JE threw himself into the tackle on the final whistle and then throws his arms up to get the crowd going, passion is what it's about and he is starting to become a bit of a legend in my eyes as what he lacks in outright ability he makes up for with passion and commitment. ...

Well the mighty Irons did us proud and McTosh will be crying on wifey's shoulder about now. Hope they play like sh*ite on weds, though.

I think he meant the Irons which is the preferred nickname of West Ham fans, this is in honour of their original name ( iron works fc)
This is what you hear West Ham fans chant 'come on you Irons'
God don't you just love a know it all.
Chalk one up to the air SAH!

Some peeps should just refrain from commenting on these threads, eh, LD?

I stand corrected. Lutondown, how's that for humility? So we're playing the Irons on Weds. Give me them over West Ham any day.

I loved West Ham.....just for yesterday mind and putting one over Fatty MacPie
We'll have to play for ninety minutes against them otherwise it will be another Soton
Let's not enter the game already beaten eh Sean?

Got to attack them or we're bugg**ed. No point in sitting deep and trying to absorb their attacks for 90 mins. We're not strong enough at the back for that.

Not good enough for me sonny Jim
Only Alf Garnett called them the 'ammers! And he was really a Spurs fan
So mr Bush, it's not politically correct to use Alfgarnettisms so one thousand apologies in lines please!
Luton down is always right and says blow humility! X 1000!!!

LD, who's Humility.....Franny?
