    I was banking on their manager dragging them through. Steve Evans is one of the best about from Championship to League 2, imo. He's been succesful everywhere he's went.

    Not really, we were agressively pressing and attacking when the ball was in their half of the pitch, but overall, the match became very chippy, with many, many restarts.

    On holiday on Anglesey with the grand kids. People must thought me strange walking round Beaumaris with a stupid grin on my face as the goals went in
    not fussed we didn't add more goals second half, clean sheet is important and not running ourselves ragged when the game is put to bed.
    great confidence booster ahead of two difficult away games, keep it going lads.

    The clean sheet is massive!

    Big boost before the next 2 away games!

    It is only Ozturk that tempers my expectations.

    Very enjoyable game to watch, second half quiet but isn't it always the way with a big lead at half time? Maja was excellent and Baldwin looks a real player.

    Scunthorpe were fairly ****e though and if they're one of the better teams then I think we'll do very well this season. Especially considering the players we have on their way back.

    Been reminded we could still lose Oviedo before the end of the month.

    I really hope Ross works his arse off to keep him!

    Well, from what we’ve seen so far, including being competitive v Sheff We’d, we’ve reason to be optimistic.

    We look far better than the standard, and we look like we aren’t pushing yet either. I’m over the moon with Ross, over the moon with the start, and ****ing enjoying having my club back.

    I did state Maja get double figures, and with supposedly 2 best players still to return, all is rosey for now.

    2 tough away games this week and we will have a great idea where we are at.

    I'd much rather watch the great football we are now playing in league 1 rather than the utter dross we had to endure for the majority of our time in the premier league.

    Breath of fresh air

    Great football<laugh>.

    It was a dire game apart from the goals obviously.

    Still, nearly 30k turned up.
