    I'd bring Jones and O'Brien on after 60 minutes and throw everything at them ...

    ... this is a chance to send out a message.

    Will they come out going for it or go for damage limitation. If they go for it I can see us getting a few more.

    It's amazing when you have some fluidity up front and movement how that frees the likes of Aidan to put on a masterclass like that. To be fair Scowen has created a lot of space with his movement

    Totally agree. 2nd half is all about making a statement to the teams around us.

    Johnson said it was back to basics. We have moved so well off the ball it has been easy to get forward and easy to keep the ball. Onien and Scowen ratting around when we havent got it. Defenders in the correct position. Crosses in and gambling on getting across your man. A masterclass in the simple things.

    Helps when you have Mcgeady playing like a premier league wide man mind. That ball to Gooch - awesome.

    Charlton being outplayed at home to Gillingham ...

    ... Doncaster being hammered by a team out of form.

    This league is anyone's.

    We wanted a 20 goal a season striker. Barring injuries Charlie is well on the way.

    09, may be subbed early, he has a yellow card... his bite and hustle in midfield is very good.. we always knew he was a midfielder!

    All I've been waiting for for 3 seasons was O'Nien to play in the middle but as a 3, not a 2. Having someone mobile in there makes all the difference.

    I would give Jones and Neil a run out - O'Brien will be glad if never gets on again prances around like a show pony with no ability.

    I think he'll be alright, it looked to me like his fouls were more tactical rather than reckless and he can dial it back now. He's been good gives us that bite as you say and always uses the ball wisely.

    Wyke is answering the question of whether Johnson can improve players ...

    ... add McGeady, O'Brien and Scowen to that list.
