    The Sky highlights don't do our second goal justice. The last 20 seconds get shown but there is about a minute or more of passing before it gets finished off.

    Yeah - I'm about to watch it now in it's full glory

    We had the ball for about 2 minutes without WBA getting anywhere near - not sure how many passes but it was a lot.

    Edit: A glorious goal after regaining the ball from a WBA free kick taken by their goalie, I counted 16 passes and it involved at least 7 different players. <applause>

    Yeah I wouldn't mind seeing the full passage of play back. We kept it and moved it around superbly. Maybe not as slick as the reading goal but still brilliant

    Well I'm home and sorted and having a wee single malt to celebrate a brilliant performance from them all. Such a small and young team but by God they have a togetherness and quality in abundance. Big shout to Geldart ran his socks off and linked play very well today. Best game for us in my opinion. Great to see Ekwah getting involved the lad is raw but has a talent. Hume at centre back brilliant I could go on. As for WBA disgusted the way they tried to bully the ref surrounding him on every foul and decision. Disgusting and got what you deserved. Great atmosphere created by our supporters continually backing the lads. Brilliant day out with great friends and my grandson.. Happy days. <party>

    Without wanting to get ahead of myself but anybody know if any of our injured have a chance of making the playoffs?
    Heard Ballard wasn't far off but what about Danny Baath?

    Ballard has a chance I think. I reckon he might play against Preston tbh. Don't think any of the others will be back though.

    Re-read the thread from page 1, and what a thread. The post match comments, from page 24 onwards are just pure joy to read.
    You begin to run out of superlatives to describe this team.
    Brilliant, just brilliant.

    ****ing mental that isn't it. Don't get me wrong, if that was us attacking I'd be saying "how have we not scored" as well but that's ridiculous from us. Bodies on the line, never say die. 2 of those blocks are by Amad getting stuck in as well.

    He clearly loves it here and will be signing a 5 year deal on a free transfer. Top lad, knows where his bread is buttered. <laugh>

    You're right about Amad getting the blocks in I had no idea. He's obviously loving it playing for us and whatever happens he's going in my favourite players folder.
