    Yeah. That solid starting XI should work well against better teams - and in away games - but against lesser lights at home we need more creativity.

    Professional and solid with some moments of quality sprinkled in.

    A goal for our new signing. Another goal for our centre forward and a clean sheet.

    Only thing missing was a goal for Roberts but he came bloody close.

    Neil quality again and Onien just going about his business doing what he does.

    Very happy with that tonight. Onto Leeds

    I love Murty saying to Jones ‘you’re not getting back in!’ after his 7-0 exclamation. :)

    And yet he had a harder game than O'Nien and was on the losing side!

    I assume you rated Pritchard more than O'Nien - where's he playing again?

    Some people can't wait to be proven right - even it's at the detriment of the team they say they love! And they call themselves supporters

    Whether O'Nien is the worst player in the team or the best player, the fact is, he plays in red and white stripes so whether you like him or not he deserves your support!

    Just home and what a professional performance from the lads. Felt like we won every second ball and had gears to go up.if we needed to.

    Just how good was Dan Neil, absolutely beautiful in midfield and a pleasure to watch.

    Special mention to Ballard and 09 who looked so at ease.

    Rigg most have covered every blade of grass, a hell of a shift from him and Jobe just oozes class.

    100% but him just getting these chances are a plus. Shows he’s getting in the right places. Still managing to put one away every game or so.

    I would’ve had Aleksic and Ogunsuyi on towards the end personally, game was won. We know RLB isn’t too keen on subs by now though

    Dan Neil was immense what a player never took a step back, mind Ballard marshalled there 9 and had a great game 09 was solid as well that’s before we mention the forwards

    Well to be honest they didn't lay a glove on us. We won at a canter-mind it should have been easier - at half time we could have been home with our slippers on

    The two Dan's were excellent - Dan Neil that turn at the end to leave their whole midfield in his wake was excellent as was the resulting ball

    Ballard was very good

    Le Fee's finish was lovely

    It’s a toss up between Ballard and Dan Neil both class

    I personally think he’s been poor recently. Form has dropped somewhat.

    Think we won without getting out of second, only just into it imo. Which is perfect before Monday. Easy does it without breaking sweat! Easy day for the kit man too!

    Sorry but having supported SAFC for over sixty odd years still worry when we are two goals ahead with time running down as we have been let down so many times over the years , keep it tight till the job is done !

    I didn't realise that this was the first time since Mundle was injured that we have won by more than one goal
