    Me too out here on the west coast where the sun is shining brightly and it has nothing to do with a fine win by the lads tonight. I thoght we looked well organized across the pitch and if we had made better use of our chances it could have been three or four in the goal department. Tonight's score brings into play the question as to where we would be if we had beaten a poor Swansea side on the weekend and the answer would be in the top six and that's where we should be to continue the fight for more. Mehmeti's second goal was one for the highlight reel and if he becomes our player f the month I will take my hat off to him because he looks like he has found his mojo at last. The big game in Cardiff on this weekend could make our position even stronger if we don't fall afoul of our own mistakes and get the three points that we all really want in the bag. The last time I saw a game in Cardiff way back in the Ninian Park days someone appeared to fire a small missile (firework maybe) across the inside of the stadium and I believe someone might have been injured. My memories are fading I guess and maybe only CCFC fans will know if I am on the mark.

    It was to be fair, surprised at how empty it was, I didn’t even bother going to the game on Sunday but went tonight. Nice and quick jumping on the AG1.

    Watching on TV looked like fans were pissed off with Sunday's game and result and performance.

    Hence i stayed home and watched it.

    Probably that played a part, as does 2 home games in 4 days, costs a lot in time & money.

    Watched the 2nd half and the highlights after the game.
    I thought Twine and Sykes deserve credit for our first goal.
    Mehmeti scored a great 2nd goal against L1 threatened Stoke. They were awful.
    I agree with R&W about this season's Championship. Tinnion's splurge on Fally and Armstrong hamstrung the January window and for that alone should face redundancy.

    If it was his sole decision, I'd sack him not give him any money

    A lot of the 18000 figure could be Season Ticket holders who didn’t turn up.

    come on Angelic he is the mouth peice for the backroom team ... some of his presentation might seem to be "his and only his" thoughts/actions .. and they likely are a mixture of all those having input!

    I'd expect John Lansdown (or someone in authority) to comment on such matters, but as per usual he's dodging any scrutiny and keeping quiet

    The commentary on Robins tv kept saying, that with Sykes and Memheti on the flanks, he needed to stay central to provide an option. When he did that, the service was poor to him. Twine can take a great free-kick for sure, but his link up with our striker from open play just isn’t good enough.

    Supcon, I'm not sure how anyone can play to Armstrong effectively. He's strong and fast but he doesn't know how to use his God given gift. He's awkward and has a terrible touch...nothing sticks.
    As for Twine I thought his pass inside the Stoke full back was brilliant.

    Twine for me is one of our most critically important players.
    He’d be very difficult to replace

    For his free kicks, I don’t think he gives enough during open play,
