What a game ! what a comeback!
We started strongly, and could /should have 2- 0 up after twenty minutes, but their left winger who had looked really dangerous all game scored a beauty, dipping and curled into the top right corner, against the run of play, and then, just before half time, our keeper failed to hold a hard shot and they put away the rebound. 2-0 down going in at the break. Things did not look good.
But we have a tremendous amount of spirit in the side this season and no little ability too. We kept piling forward and before getting one back , we actually missed a couple of really good chances. But our first, from Ade, was a beauty. A left-footed volley into the right corner.
Draycs came on for Heardie and Ulatadie for Ira and we upped the tempo even further. ( Timely use of subs too, not that the players going off had played badly, just changed the shape of the side and it seemed to upset them.) Ade missed a great chance to put us on level terms, but not to worry, Ulatadie came to the rescue with two clever late goals to give us the victory.
Our fans went berserk, unbelievable but deserved turnaround to give us a brilliant away win. COYS!

Plenty of discussion about substitutes over the years. This is intereting:
58'Ian Draycott replaced Scott Heard 60'Adam Yusuff scores
75'Ibrahim Olutade replaced Ira Jackson 81'Ibrahim Olutade scores 89'Ibrahim Olutade scores
A new Cugley mindset?

Good scenes here. By contrast, watch the post-match interview with the Billericay manager that’s on YouTube; he’s so OTT depressed that it’s hard not to laugh.

OTT during the game too, John. Passionate chap. But can understand his feelings after the game, considering they were 2-1 with four minutes to go.
