This deserves more credit :D

George Ray’s interception of the ball when he was the last man and then bringing the ball into the Accrington half in the build up is as good a watch again as the big man’s finish. Perfectly timed tackle.

I was only able to listen to commentary last night and have just watched this in the highlights. I was purring at that perfectly weighted pass for Tiensia to run onto.
Don't let the old man in.

Think Tiensa makes a difference when he comes on, and Id like to see him given more minutes.

Best start points-wise (after 3 games) since at least 2000.

Interesting this weekend.
Gillingham - top - play Crawley - 3rd, and us - 2nd - play Stockport - 3rd from bottom with just one point.

Managers will rarely admit to being outplayed as it reflects on them personally. Cast your mind back to Barrow/Carlisle last season and the slap stick comments afterwards for example. They will admit inferiority when outplayed by a team from a higher league of course as this does not come with any kind of personal stigma.

Some manager’s think passing the ball side to side in their own half is controlling a game. You could argue that’s the opposition controlling the game and keeping them planted in their own half. Wild knows when he wants us to press and when to let them have it.

Could end up pass of the season by Ray
