Slough were bad! This result shows how far we have come against this sort of opposition. We took advantage of playing against 10 men but would have beat them with 11. As gateman said their fans were great but their team were not. We could have got 6 or 7 in the second half. The Slough management were still having a go outside the refs changing room at half time as I walked past the players entrance. Two weeks break and then the TUFC bandwagon rolls into Bath. Come on you yellows!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great result. It’s an old cliche but they do say that it’s the mark of Champions if they win comfortably without playing particularly well and I felt that’s what we did today. Really impressed by Sloughs fans but not their team: they were abysmal.

I must have been stood alongside you at half time as I politely called down the tunnel to their management to suggest that they left the ref and had a go at their own player.

I thought that the ref had a good game today by the way.

So far this Christmas every game wasn't going to be an easy game, and today was going to be even harder yet we have hammered them out of sight.

We have now got a good rest which should surely mean that our high tempo game should really be well served by the break.

Add that to Niate and Opi Edwards returning and we look even stronger. Also factor in the massive support we will get at Bath which will turn it it into nigh on a home game and its all positives as far as I can see,

Not an easy game maybe - but I really wouldn't put it past us to win that game either.

The "Twelfth Man" really did its job today - goaded their number 9 to react :na:

With our "Twelfth Man" giving it large, what chance really did their ten men remaining have?

The answer is "Norfolk Enchance"

It was when you were filling ( sorry again, using ) the glory hole.
So I decided to have a read !
So educational your grammars' bathroom, I can definitely see where you get your intellect from 'Arry.
Does it run in the family, may I ask ?

You may certainly ask but I'm not privy to that kind of information, although you must be posher than I thought if you know what bathrooms are for: I understood that all your droppings were deposited on roof-tops and car windows around Torbay. Nice try with the apostrophes by the way, but one is superfluous as my pseudonym does not need to be aspirated - "Ffs" it's not difficult to get it right (but I don't feel insulted) - and the other is incorrectly positioned as there is no plurality about either noun.

Thank you for your insight Mr No Brain.
It's been an absolute pleasure to have been re-educated by your good self, what a waste of time it was for myself & my teachers at the West Lawn academy during the challenging 79's & 80's, on wards & upwards I say, thank you once again & good wishes sir.

That completes 4 games I've watched over this recent home and "away" period. In summary, from my viewpoint: room for improvement.

Perhaps they will win 5 out of the next 4 games!
