    Same here, as you said he has everything youd want in a fullback. I sometimes thought his passing could be a bit slack but 1st 2 games his passing has been quick n accurate

    The gaffer has said all along he is looking to add to the coaching staff but if right person doesn't come along what he got is fine.

    The fact it is being said that Proctor is being credited with set piece routines which we have been shote at for years shows That Proctor deserves to be there but more importantly it appears that RLB is the first to let him do it properly?

    Got to say I'm still flabbergasted at just how good that performance was today.

    Our midfield 3 absolutely ran the show they bossed everything can't remember a pass going astray and they won every 50-50.

    I'll be honest I came into this season feeling a little underwhelmed considering it is practically the same squad that served up absolute garbage for 3 months at the end of last season buy today we were magnificent.

    Jobe - What an absolute beast he was.
    Neil - So calm assured and won everything in there.
    Rigg - Always looked forward and drove at them with real purpose and again can't remember him giving the ball away.

    Cirkin and Hume were fantastic as well. Cirkin really is like a new signing.

    Mayenda got 2 goals first one a neat finish and the 2nd a typical poachers goal bit the best thing is he was there to finish it. We weren't last season.

    Roberts was on form too and was unlucky not to score a couple of times.

    I think it says everything that Clarke while being far from poor was actually relatively quiet today and we still won 4-0.

    Sorry to go on but absolutely buzzing and can't wait for Burnley next week.

    I think Burnley are gonna expect to smash this league this season but if we play like today we will give them a hell of a game. A win next week would be unbelievable a draw would be good even a close defeat were we match them would show huge signs of progress in my eyes.

    Haway the lads!!!!!!!

    He was I felt like I didn't really have to mention him Alese or Patterson as pretty much everything was taken care of before it reached them.

    Missed the game today, as I'm down in Devon having a long weekend break.

    Fantastic result today. Can't wait to watch the whole replay when I get home.

    I fancied us to win, but didn't think we would kick their arse and send them home with their tails between their legs!

    We have nothing to fear from Burnley.

    Maybe, maybe not, sure we will have some lows under him but the blokes has come to an new country, not fluent in the language yet, got no staff he knows around him and is getting this out of the team already. Not getting carried away because it can turn quickly but it’s some start for him. Down to speakman to add those few missing pieces for him now. Buzzing man

    A few of the gammons on twitter and RTG will be raging at Cirkin giving Proctor credit for the set piece routines
