They’re in the top half. Whatever you think of them, they’re still in the top half. And we just utterly outclassed and outplayed them.

Pretty much every team who’s beaten us this season will likely say that about us, so does that make it worth anything less?

I see those games as winnable, but also a “typical city” kind, both we came through in comfortable fashion, like a team with ambition of the top end should. Best xG performances of the season too. We’d have beaten most teams in the league on Saturday the way we played.

They've also had a very easy fixture, have very poor underlying stats, and recently replaced their manager. Still, a good performance, but still..

Give the job to Andy Dawson. We know he'd love it and give us everything and the players seem keen to put in a good shift for him.

One thing that has been a constant on here, is people complaining about interviews from previous managers and I don't think anyone can argue that Daws is easily the best interviews we've had for years.

The performance on the pitch has dramatically improved, the results have been fantastic, the attendances and the atmosphere from the stands has been excellent.

What's not to like?

The warm ups haven’t been good enough.

That was always going to be the case for them though, they’ve got a clear identity and are hard to beat in most games. Would’ve won last night too had it not been for a shocking penalty decision

Before the equaliser went in last night they were two points off the playoffs. But we shouldn't let that detract from the lucky win they gifted us. Dunno what the Rotherham commentators were thinking saying we were the best away side they'd seen this season. We were obviously just lucky on the day.

A few games ago, people were talking about possible relegation and how no manager could possibly get the ill-assorted group of players we had to play in a coherent and successful way. Andy Dawson has certainly managed to get us playing well over the last two games and has 3 wins out of 6 matches. He's done better than anyone had a right to expect. I wouldn't mind him being given longer if he wants it.

Bit harsh to count the one where he had about 6 hours notice when Shota got sacked as well. Of the 5 games he's actually prepared the team he's won 3.

Quite a feat considering Acun's brought all his mates in for a payday and is in the process of loading us with debt so he can do a runner when he gets bored and gives up - allegedly.

I knew five brothers in Salisbury who were all good mechanics. One (who worked for an Alfa dealer) went on a tour of the Alfa factory in Italy and asked them where the big vat of salt water was that they dipped the bodies in prior to painting them? The Italians were not amused.

It seems quite obvious to me the tactical nuance hasn't come from Dawson but more the highly qualified analyst from a European Giant. He comes in the team changes and we start picking up points. Bari x Daws x Rosey could work as Dawson has the belief flowing whilst the other two come across as the football brains.
