    I'm relaxed (mainly) but I don't expect us to win. Now I'm confident we'll create chances and fight to the end. Bloody marvellous.

    Loving the look of Huggins. Clearly not entirely fit but on more than one occasion he just ate up the space carrying it forward in a way we haven't seen full backs do in ages.

    well feck me...and that was basically a cobbled together side who have not really played a game in anger.

    said earlier that AOB puts himself about, hope he claims the hat trick for that he deserves it...yeh there were a few mistakes in there but the days of the heads going down after conceding are long gone.

    well done lads, went a goal down and took the game to them, back four and the keeper had an excellent game by all accounts and the midfield seemed to break with speed at times...how the hell do you pick a starting eleven from this squad of players?

    They might have had the Gypsy's sign over us last season, but this is a whole new ball game. Really pleased for the lads on the park who turned out tonight and for the our lads on the terraces.

    Does that make LJ's job easier or harder how do you pick your best eleven? Great team, great backup, and now surely great confidence, exactly what we need to progress.

    So pleased to see Diamond looking more like himself to-night, not sure he should be sent out on loan, he has the makings of an important player for us, but he needs to feel wanted imo. Not sure he is tbh.

    They've certainly given LJ something to think about before the Wycombe game. Nice headache to have for a change mind!

    Considering we’re giving semi fit players minutes and have new lads that’s a cracking start to the season mind. Credit to Johnson and the coaching staff.

    LJ has a difficult decision this weekend. How do you leave AOB out? He will be buzzing and will bust a gut to be out there. Unfortunately Stewart has been brilliant up to now so also deserves his place.
    Can you change the tactics and leave Geads or Gucchi out to accommodate both?

    Given Goochy's current form, which is a concern,I think he has to stay.
