Very good performance today, really enjoyed that. Early days but Gomis looks a hell of a player and we looked good all over the park. Gomis MoM for me but Hall also looked liked a player who's won this league before and has a certain thing about him. I would like another couple of signings to pressure those playing but overall no complaints today

Thought we looked really good today. Any news on Yussuf? Just cramp?

Only having 1075 there though on the first Saturday game at home is shambolic. Why didn't the club buy a full page ad in The Mail or something letting you in for £10 if you take the coupon or run a family day? You're not going to get much nicer days than this. But obviously charging £15/£18 is definitely the way to go...

As GT says, that goal was worth any entrance fee today, downside was as soon as the game restarted Yussuf was holding the back of his leg although he carried on for quite a while - even going down twice before eventually being taken off. I thought he would've been subbed much earlier as a precaution as it was obvious he wasn't able to "run it off"
Gomis had a belting game and looks like he's going to be a favourite here. Can't fault any player out there today, all deserving of some credit.

I didn't think Woking looked like anything but a bottom half team on that showing, just what we needed to let a few more players get used to playing together.

Poor gate but it is holiday season, hopefully within the coming weeks we can carry on putting in performances like and the gates increase.

Ref was the polar opposite of what we had on Tuesday.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

If folk stop being so negative about the club and spread some positivity, it might encourage one or two more to come along and see what's occurring....

Very happy.

[SwearFilter] you Pedro.
I was very impressed with Gomis when we played at Sutton last season.

Very good all round today, never really looked troubled and should be a good confidence booster and another step to gelling as a team.

In defence Jones looks to be settling in well, Dunne, Diarra and Nieskens were very very good again as per Tuesday, and Moore looked pretty immaculate in his handling and general goalkeeping.

Gomis has got better each game he's played and was excellent today, i love how quickly after winning the ball he looks to release a player or get the game moving forward, will be a massive asset this season! ARH continuing the form from last season, he's come on absolute waves these last two years. Hall was much improved from Tuesday and broke up play well and looked to link, still needs to find his shooting boots or give it to someone who has though!

Yusuff had definitely his best game for us, looked strong and hungry and the channels he was running down were excellent and being found by the midfield regularly which is encouraging, hopefully his injury isn't too bad. Not overly sure where I stand on White yet, still early days but he seems to go missing for large parts, but his second goal today was excellent, and he improved as the game went on. Cockerline must be pushing him for starts though, has looked bright and interested every time he's come on!

Good day, bit windy but other than that nice weather, good win, happy times!

Very easy to take ARH for granted but he was excellent today. Very solid performance never looked like losing. Hopefully give the team a confidence boost. Good to see the group celebrations on the goals and the team clapping the fans after the final whistle. Seem more together this year which can only be a good thing. We are hard fans to please but performances like that will endear the players to the fans and give us all a good building block to push the season on. It was never going to be instant top drawer performances and instant vocal support given the changes but we appear to have a team we can get behind and push forward to better things.

Brilliant 1st goal.

Not sure what happened with Whites first goal, he could have had 4 or 5 today.

Gomis was fantastic.

Atmosphere was flat, not surprising though when the attendance is so low.

Good result and as above there were signs of us gelling as a team, but Woking were terrible.

[SwearFilter] you Pedro.
Glad they won but sad for you and your negative attitude to other peoples opions.
Maybe Moribund is right?

Where are the replacements coming from once we start getting suspensions and injurys?
5 bookings in 3 games.
The Goalkeeper seems to be better than what we have which Ive always said we needed.

RC said they wished it was a video interview with Paul Cox to show his suprise when told that they had asked Casson about players coming in only to be told thats it.They finished it by saying it will be a interesting discusion between Casson and Cox.

Is this another thing Casson forgot to tell Paul Cox

We do not have enough players so keep doing what most Ostrichs do.
