    Oviedo almost scored a screamer

    We didn’t concede in the first 30 though, that was important.

    Seems like opposition will be going hell for leather in the first half when playing is, need to learn to cope. I thought flannagan did a good job, covered a lot of ground and we didn't concede in the first 25 minutes.

    Hume, maja, Gooch, maguire the obvious stand outs.

    Mcgeouch getting better.

    Agree totally. McGeouch looked much better second half. Struggled first half. Not sure if his role changed.

    Strange game. As @clockstander said, we were poor in the first half hour then just kicked into gear. Can’t work out a yellow card for an elbow. It’s either an accident or a red surely

    Gooch was my motm. Maja was excellent too. Cattermole is better than this league. Looks fitter than he’s ever been too

    Not letting anybody down are they, still got a few more coming through as well, and with Max Power back next week its looking good, we are getting there quicker than anyone could of hoped at the start of the season, this was a massive win to-day, not bothered about other results, only ours count in the long run. <ok>

    I'll go with him as well, involved with all our good work and had 3 or 4 assists, but you could just as easily make a case for all of them and that is what makes this a great performance from the team. You could also say Jack Ross had a blinder coming up with the right answers at the right time.

    As you know, I've never been a fan but when I've seen him this season he's looked class. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    He could surprise a few of us if he keeps up these displays, this was a big performance from him to-day, and still going strong in injury time too, great stuff from Catts. <ok>

    Great return from Josh, am pleased Ross hasn't been tempted to rest him to give Sinclair some game time.
    Got to play one of our own as opposed to a loanee unlike last season when that plank from the Boro was keeping Josh on the subs bench.
    The kid must think he cannot miss when he's in front of goal at the moment.

    Yeah you know I’ve always been a fan (although even imo he was total gash last 2 seasons)

    Thought he’d be better than this league but was loathe to say it as I said it last season!!

    Maguire for me as well - he was involved all the time and looks great at this level. Only player I was disappointed with was McGeoch - thought we carried him for much of the game. Some good saves from McLaughlin and impressed again by Hume.

    Was right in front of us and looked intentional - thought it was a straight red.

    What I couldn’t work our was how that can be a yellow. If it’s intentional then it has to be a red. If it’s accidental then it’s not a card and just a foul

    Sometimes you wonder where the BBC get their info from.

    According to them, we "dominated from the outset".

    You guys saying Rochdale had the better of it the first 20 minutes.
