    Rowe is a serious handful - and what a shot he has on him. 10 points behind play offs with a game in hand - you just never know lads

    Didn't think we'd score more than one, didn't think we'd kill them off, but we did so manfully.

    Tough run if games coming up, but you'd expect us to keep adding points to the tally the way we're going

    Disagree, this is a team that is flying, never had any doubt we would win this. Was reading we a should take Evans off, FCD off, Cooke off, Clarke off when it was clear this team had earned the right to put a poor 20.minute spell right. Which they did.

    Just got to keep going, picking up points and then see what happens. Some of the others will drop points so who knows?

    Good 3 points, hats off to Callum Cooke, I make that 3 assists tonight, if we can give him that first one?

    Evans now starting to look more like the player we were getting back

    Well done to Trueman and Sellars for staying calm and sticking to their preferred formation throughout.

    The table looks a lot healthier tonight, lets hope we can push on and beat Barrow now on Saturday

    Top performance that. Rowe looks the real deal. Poor mans Shearer!

    Was nice to hear their commentary team praising us. "All square pegs in square holes", "management team really got them playing", "good team who had a bad run" , "don't deserve to be at the wrong end of the table" etc etc.

    Really hope we can continue this momentum. Even better if we can add a few bodies in the next couple of days. Now I'm in two minds about offering T&S the job full time....because I don't want any sort of culture change. Right now they are doing just fine without the added pressure of being employed in the role. Whatever is happening, they are totally pulling it off.

    Absolutely great result and great team performance. Goalie commands his box well.

    How many unbeaten is that now?

    The home commentary were purring about Rowe.

    Play offs anyone? ;)

    Extremely important win would have taken a 0-1 before kick off
    Daylight appearing between us and Grimsby/Southend even before the games in hand
    Time to secure T&S with a contract, get in the second striker and go for it see how far they can go

    Traditionally not a happy place for us
    but tonight we showed this is no fluke.
    We have turned a corner and play offs
    are not a pipe dream we can do it!

    Do you think one of the associated directors will pop them in the back seat of their socially distanced car?

    For all those who condemned our tyro managers. Well, seven games unbeaten is looking pretty good. Ditto, who slag off Gareth Evans. Yep, he's getting up to speed big time with two goals tonight. And brilliant that Danny Rowe has got his first goal for us. Duck broken, I think there are many many more to come. Let's celebrate. Still a long road to go, but hell, we're looking better and better game by game. Trueman and Sellars are turning out to be a mega surprise for a lot of people. But whatever they're doing, it sure as hell is working. Bottom line I think, is they're both very well clued up with current coaching thoughts and are confident together, in working and discussing it all through with the squad. Bless Stuart and Kenny, but they were so old school.

    Love that comparison mate we've seen him hit the ball with his right foot and with his left foot he looks quite capable of scoring with either foot, just need to see him in the air but at 6'1" that shouldn't be a problem.

    Couple of teams only a point or two above us and we have 1/2/3 games in hand. It's looking more positive!
