We Won!
After a disappointing run of form last time out, we were still looking for that elusive first win, but after good performances, I was sure that we could find one in the next few fixtures.
27/8/16-Sky Bet League Two - Mansfield Home - They took the lead early through a penalty but we stood strong and came back quickly, with Downing, the centre back, netting a penalty and Dickenson scored again in the 43minute assisted by Will Wood to give us our first win!
2-1 win. POM: Paul Downing
30/8/16-Checkatrade Trophy - Colchester Home - Bore draw sadly, first of the series and hopefully the last, but too my surprise we went to penalties (in the group stages?0 which we lost 4-2, not the best start in cup competitions.
Lost 0-0p
20 day break for the internationals, caused only by Dozzell's addition to the England U19s and Yennaris's place being won back in the Cyprus national team, well done to them and I'm especially pleased that my home grown talent has been selected, and played in all three games against San Marino, Scotland and Portugal (all U19s) respectively.
10/9/16-Sky Bet League Two - Carlisle Away - Well, Downing is the man for penalties, scoring two in twenty minutes to give us a 2-1 lead, they scored after the first penalty. then a beautiful pass from Alan Browne gave Andre Green the chance to score his first for the club, and hopefully not the last.
3-1 win. POM: Paul Downing
13/9/16-Sky Bet League Two - Morecombe Away - Shut out. They struggled a single shot on target as we washed them away 2-0, Browne and Stockton scoring and Yennaris assisting. 3 on the trot,
2-0 win. POM: Nico Yennaris
17/9/16-Sky Bet League Two - Yeovil Home- Well there goes our streak and unbeaten at home record, we were shown a masterclass by Yeovil who thrashed us 4-0, hopefully that's the worst.
4-0 loss
Not bad from the back may I say, the defensive players taking part in 4 goals and grabbing all 3 POMs this time round, strikers need to step up or they will be replaced by Downing!
