    Great result. Massive 3 points and back to back wins which is sure to build confidence and positivity in the squad.

    Other teams might just start to view us differently after this start

    We've started a lot better than I thought we would.
    Looks like an excellent game-plan set out by the manager, executed by a team showing plenty of togetherness, grit, guile and look like they're enjoying themselves..... in August.
    ****in hell, topper.

    It's an alien start to say the least. Make sure we've got tissues handy for the early season nose bleed.

    Exactly the same fella. I thought we have looked hard working but feared a team like Norwich would expose us but that was a great result. I still feel we are a couple short of promotion but maybe the humble pie is bigger than even I could imagine

    Very very pleasing to say the least.

    Wasn't expecting 4 points from the first 3 games a month ago.

    There seems to be a very different atmosphere around the team.

    Some tough games coming up but a couple of wins in that lot will put us up around the early front runners and will get the SoL bouncing again!

    Technically it is 4 points from 3 games as we didn't pick up any points from the cup game.

    But the league cup game isn't relative to points which makes it a pointless mention as it unfairly devalues the stat.

    Great start. Chuffed with what we're seeing.

    Let's get those few more signings to bulk the squad out and hopefully we can crack on.

    Long old season mind you.

    Ha well call me crazy but I wouldn't include games that can't give you any points but maybe I'm just old fashioned like that :)

    Great result, soinded like we soaked up presure well until the last 10 minutes when they came on strong. And we were obviously pretty good when we got forward as well, 3 goals away from home and from the commentary it sounded like we made the better chances.

    4 points from 2 games is a great start to the season, especially against two of the better sides in the league. Another tough game midweek but a repeat of todays performance mudt give us a decent chance.

    Isn't that ****ing lush to see after the last 18 months.

    Grayson is looking a master stroke, the fight is there and now the confidence will start to grow.

    Can't ****ing wait for next home game.
