    I remember seeing us 3-0 up at home to Bury then ending up drawing 3-3 so I'm not counting my chickens. (We have six chickens, if you are interested).

    Well that was refreshing, highly entertaining and what a great result.
    Had this down as 3-2 on the prediction league but I will settle for 3-0.

    We were saying before that a 0-0 would be a good result - a point against a high-flyer but more importantly a clean sheet.
    Baah's strength and Louza ghosting in (poor from their midfield), leaving Jezza to put in a super ball was another mistake. Good finish from Luca, timing better than the touch but it was enough.
    I don't think they did much wrong on Doumbia's. Super finish.

    3 goals , 3 points and a clean sheet !

    Excellent goals and counter attack play .

    Some very solid defensive play too .

    Was our third goal offside? And, if not, should it have been credited to Luca?

    That is what we could/should have done last Saturday

    We are looking more and more like a team now and the teams at the top are faltering

    Edit

    How far in front of us are the teams that came down from the Prem last season

    It would seem that K9 has been awarded the goal, but he looked offside

    No wonder the Borough players went mental, made no difference tho we would still have won

    Makes a nice change when **** decisions work in our favour

    Yes indeed .

    Would have been very harsh but fortunately no VAR .

    The first two goals reminded me of when we had Cally and Barnes on the wings.
    The one thing I found interesting about our 'long ball' game is that for both the first two goals the wingers, Baah and Ngakia, received the ball in our half. The second one was a square pass across the pitch.
