I know it’s only one game but credit must go to the manager for keeping the formation - I have been quite vocal about wanting to change it, but it seems to be coming together nicely.

Apart from carlisle and Newport I feel weve been decent. They are the only games really I feel we’ve been outplayed. They’re top and fourth so maybe we need to be a bit more optimistic.

Big shout out to Biggins for his performance but also to Jason Taylor - he’s added a lot of shape and structure the last few games.

There's only 4 teams in the league who have scored more goals than us too. Considering our main striker has been missing for most games that is an impressive stat.
Cut out silly mistakes and who knows. 😀

last season we had 7 points after 9 games - this season we have 8 from 9 games - so we are ahead of schedule already ;)
but seriously - confidence is important in sport - and should we back up this win with another against Bradford there is no reason we can't go on a decent run again.... like last season.

And who knows, he could have been just one game away from getting a good win ;)

Should've been 6. Terrible negative tactics from Dunn. Get rid asap 😉

A joy to behold! I wonder if someone somewhere just said 'Okay let's analyse this, what was it that we did last season that made us such a success?'. Whatever, looks like we are back in business.
We will foller the soccer, over land and sea...

Just wondered, have the right back and left back ever scored the first two goals in a game ?

No.
Left side of a back three then. Either way. Great finish.

:lol: sorry. Left back, left sided centre back. This modern football is confusing. 4-4-2 is much simpler ;)

He was definately playing left centre back. Just got forward at times as Mike Jones/Jason Taylor were there to cover him well.
