    Most likely, as am I, that they’re disappointed. Promising season ahead, decent looking squad, focussed manager and all that. These wins should be the norm. Can’t remember the last time we took an oppo apart in the first half? There you go. We’re (the ones who have our heads on our shoulders) are quiet cos we want to see if we follow it up. Go on a run. Make a statement. Right now, it’s understandable to be quiet.

    Can be seen on Facebook or seated stand. The only people that were happy to be there today was the police and the city fans.

    Not sure that's the point I was making but I understand it, these guys are very quick to make their voices heard when we get beat but not quite as vocal when we get a descent result, yes the form table says Accrington are the worst performing team over the last 6 games, just an acknowledgment of the result wouldn't go a miss.

    A summary from me, a very professional performance but a poor game from a viewing point of view., in respect that opposition were garbage. That said I want to see us punish rubbish like this and that's what we did. Smallwood back made a massive difference, look way more balanced and that allows Oduor to roam forward at will.
    Got to follow this up with another good show on Tuesday as my lad should be at the game next Saturday. I want the place bouncing against a resurgent Mansfield, a big away following always sets the tone for a decent afternoon.

    Thoroughly enjoyable first half, damage limitation for them second half and great to see Walker back. Odour played really well as did most of them

    Good tactics by GA to start with that team, and also make the subs when he did, keep Cook and Oduor fresh for Tuesday night when we face a resurgent FGR

    Solid today.
    Can we keep our defence this tight for the next 3 home matches?
    Look at the fixtures for Tuesday.
    Time to start dreaming again.
    Really need a good crowd and performance to beat an in form FGR.

    Once our second goal went in the result was never in doubt.
    Accrington were woeful but you can only beat what's Infront of you.
    Three welcome points and overall a really good team performance the only complaint I have is how bloody cold was that wind chill towards the end of the game.

    That wind added comedy value in the second half at times,

    Bloody Hell we beat another midtable team and you are creaming your pants!

    We shouldn’t be in this situation.

    Its 19 matches and we've drawn 6

    Morecambe
    Stockport
    Colchester
    Salford
    Wimbledon
    Doncaster

    30 from 57
    1.58 points per game.

    As I posted the other day, that would be 73 points over a full season.

    As long as we have a disinterested owner and a CEO that like to just balance the books we are going nowhere very fast.

    Exactly. He looked very rusty when he came on, but we couldn't have wished for a much better scenario to get him on to shake off that rust.

    Ridehalgh looked tidy at left CB, albeit against limited opposition. A better position for him than wing back.
