    I think winning tonight takes a lot of pressure off. Winning breeds confidence though. They must be looking forward to getting on the pitch at the moment. Brilliant considering the dross we have suffered recently.

    Great stuff all round. Scored goals, won from a losing position and held off a team who were battering the doors in. Very promising indeed.

    So they were on top at the end, was it because we were settling for the result or were they genuinely battering us?

    Same as the weekend. We had the game won by HT and conserved our energy. Another great performance. Praise to our manager as well. Working miracles at the moment.

    I dunno but the text gave the impression that our keeper and defence were standing strong in the face of multiple attacks.

    Yes good quality and no interruptions. There is no commentary just the sound from the crowd. They are showing the goals again now. There are no replays either so if you miss the action it's tough. A bit like being at the match.

    Mad how quick Maja is improving. Already much better at holding the ball up and because he's confident it's becoming apparent how quick his feet are, pulled off some lovely tricks against Scunthorpe that all paid off.

    I think it looks pretty decent. We have Flanagan to come back aswell and Mathews.
    Theres always a winging tw@t looking for an excuse to moan about something.

    Baldwin in particular looks great I think. Top attitude and he can play a bit.

    Great win and another step forward, squad getting stronger with the return of the walking wounded too. We need to close a games down though, and stop giving needless free kicks away. Strange substitutions to-night and Love troubles me.

    Looks a cracking buy don’t he. Daft ****s where whinging about him as well cos he’d had a few injuries.

    Give them a chance.

    Really good signing and the pick of the bunch so far along with McGuire whose goal was probably the most important of the season after the Gooch magic winner. Maja has been tremendous for us as well, hope Ross shows more faith in our academy products as the season progresses, players like Mumba, Maxy, Robson, Embleton, Molyneux and Hume should not be forgotten and their development encouraged. It is our long term future. Onwards and upwards.

    This season could be the making of Maka, wouldn’t have wanted to be at this level but will hit the Championship expecting to bag if it continues the way it’s going.

    If he can have 20 goals under his belt aged 20 then not many do that.
