    So this is what watching good football feels like. Reading this forum actually makes good reading today - people enjoying their football rather than saying how **** we're playing! And Johnson has only had them for a week!

    Counter attacking at pace, running at players, young lad doing the business - what more could we want. That 3rd goal shows the difference in mentality now, a few weeks ago McGeady and Diamond wouldnt have been on the pitch and when we win it back we would have tried to play it slow in midfield, now the first thought is get at them before they can organise. All from coaching and been given green light to play forward.

    Well what a great surprise, definitely one of the better first halves I have watched this season.

    What a difference a couple of pacy wingers make! I like DCs comments of 'grass in front of them'

    Still not there yet, undoubtedly they will come at us, perhaps they expected our usual back 3 and wing backs?

    Cut out sloppy mistakes and silly free kicks as they often score lots from set pieces

    Incredible first half. I might actually be able to enjoy my Saturday night for a change. This side has been crying out for pace, and now we've got it, there's the result.

    Proof that attack is our best form of defence.

    Just as well we are playing well, Watmore has got another couple of goals for the Smoggies. Now we have a Diamond instead!

    Loving the closing down and the movement all over the pitch
    Don't want to speak too soon but if that is the difference after a week
    We have something to look forward to.

    This is what LJ brings. He went at them when we went 1-0 up instead of ****ting himself and hoping we would at least get a point

    They will come at us second half though, they have nothing to lose and are a decent side. they probably should have had a couple themselves.

    they'll have to come at us 2nd half, hopefully we'll use that to hit them again.
