The Rommy Report by The_Romford_Blue 16 Dec 2017 17:52
Well that was nice wasn't it?

I really thought we were gonna be unstuck today. I though our attacking thread would be nullified as we were always gonna have less than 40% possession. But it wasn't. We had that same pace and intensity with the ball as we have all season. Celina and Waggy looked a tasty little duet with the linkup play that we've become hard to this season. Garner was his brilliantly irritating self. Ward worked awfully hard to get up and down the pitch to help out Skuse (first half), Bru (second half) and Connolly throughout.

The first goal came within 3 minutes. Thankfully, after train issues, I was there to see Connolly slide across in midfield and win the ball back. Some nice football and 10 seconds later and he was placing the ball into the near post. Bluddy boooooootiful! We led. And so went my 0-0 prediction.

Reading carried on their nonsense tippy tappy bollox as McShane pretended he was David silva as he passed it to his fellow centre back with pinpoint accuracy. Some beautiful one twos across their own penalty box with absolutely no point whatsoever to it. We were winning. Let them do what they liked. I found their style of footballing quite dull to be honest.

Whilst the Royals continued to possess the ball with no purpose, a few of their players started giving it lemon to the ref. Two bookings for dissent inside 15 minutes. Not sure I've seen that before. Well done the ref. He had a good game I thought. Soon the town were 2 up. Waggy corner whipped in with venom and the flick on found Joey garner who nodded himself his first goal in ages. That'll do nicely.

Reading started to gain some sort of influence on the game down the wings but every shot they had was being blocked. Webster. Magnificent. Chambers. Magnificent. Spence. Magnificent. Knudsen.
Magnificent. All four of them defended their socks off and put their body on the line to stop Reading getting back into the game. Excellent performance from our defence I thought.

Second half was not the onslaught from the away team that I expected. Instead we controlled the game and had a fair few chances to seal it. Spence gave his best Marasona impression with a bulldozing run down the right before lacking the power in the final shot when 10 yards out. His look up after his shot at the North Astana gave both the look of 'im knackered' and 'I can't believe I did that'. He must've ran 50 yards with it.

Celina danced through near the end like a gazelle but blazed over. It would've capped off a throughly entertaining and enjoyable game. It's nice to have back to back home games with wins and good performances. In fact, it's great to see us scoring so easily. With our lack of shots lots season, it's a pleasant surprise to see our attacking force carving teams open time and time again.

The only downside of the day was the lack of a hotdog thanks to the aforementioned late train. I shall make up for it with a Chinese when my train gets into Romford in an hour. Lovely stuff.

One final thing, at what point does the Super Mick chant start again? Results went out way today and suddenly we are two point off the playoffs again. It's a nice feeling.


I'd leave you with BELIEVE! but as it's the most wonderful time of the year, a little Christmas song is a nice way to end a winning Rommy Report:

Town are scoring, all around us
Ipswich singing, having fun
It's the season for laughing at the inbreds
Merry Christmas Norwich Scum
