Next to me today was a new family and a dude from London. You kid was nervous but by the end was high fives and loving it. Lad from London was surprised at the noise and passion.

Goes to show that the impact is possible.
Night and day from 6 months ago. It’s like a different club.


Only saw the first half today as the hotel Wi-Fi crapped out on me but by all accounts it was as comfortable a home win as you can get?
 
I like to read the oppositions forums before and after the match.
I bet the Oxford one isn't as bitter as some of the ones recently. I don't think they can say other than they were played off the park today. I don't think they'll be saying we are bang average.
I tend to have a look although generally after the game. Most are optimistic beforehand as we normally are. I’ve found that most forums, ours included, tend to follow the same pattern.

They're pretty gushing in their praise of us!

I did think one comment was going to be the typical nonsense you see as it started with 'Jobe 'Joke' Bellingham.....' but the joke was, according to the poster, that he shouldn't be playing in this league as he's too good for it. Someone else mentions that he must be the best player in the league.
 
The most impressive thing for me is how much we’re adapting to our opponents rather than just going out there and playing the same slow, stale football no matter who we’re up against. Our shape was really good today. We look happy with the ball, happy without it, happy with full backs getting forward, happy with them sitting deeper and being more disciplined. Happy to press, happy to sit back.
