    Nah @San Tejón Is taking us to Wembley.

    Schad for Goodison seems appropriate though.

    Yeah, this definitely feels like a Bleak and Awful Matchday Thread sort of moment.

    January would be even better. Dark by 3.00 pm, horizontal rain, and a howling gale off the Irish Sea...

    A positive thought. We didn't lose any places in the league last night, despite being crap.

    For all the mistakes SR have made and continue to make, at least we shouldn’t be in the financial ruin that we would have been with relegation under Gao.

    Mara's goal may well turn out to be crucially important. A handful of strikers believe in their abilities come what may. Most seem to live on confidence, Che being a classic example.

    It was a good goal taken like a true striker and, if he needed it, may help to unlock the floodgates.

    Nathan Jones has a 50% win percentage.*

    Best of any manager since Adkins :1980_boogie_down:


    *excluding the Liverpool game.

    Back to back wins is something that can't be underestimated. That and the manner of last night's win means the players will be going to Goodison full of confidence.
