    Akpan looked he'd just come off the beach. At least a stone overweight and knackered after 5 mins.

    I wasn’t at the game tonight, but in addition to O’Donnell proving his worth (and I always felt he was capable), the other player who seems to have started the season well is O’ Connor. Unlike O’Donnell, I did not have confidence in him. Seems as though he may well be starting to be the centre half we wanted.

    Yeah I know he did. I was just trying to add some humour, personality, ANYTHING to his commentary ;)
    Love him to bits really. I hope he downs a four pack of Special Brew in the passenger seat on the way back up Bradford, and tries to give Tim Steer a French kiss and a bit of a grope while he's driving.

    Bowyer bursting with pride with his team in the post match interview. Like me, he says he wasnt a flair player himself, and loves to see a team battle for victories like tonight, as much as seeing a 'pretty' win

    Gary Bowyer talked the team and fans up well praising them.Good on him I’m sure he will have the players behind him and fans.Commented regarding player coming in ,it hasn’t happened yet he said.
    Sounded a gritty performance all round well done to them.

    In isolation, it's fine and you can take pride in it. After last season, a bit of dogedness and shithousery is much needed.

    But I sincerely hope hes critiquing where we were poor and doing something about it. We cant aim to perform like that - it's what you're left with having to do when your performance with the ball is so poor.

    Most of us know the area where we need to improve, but i will add that currently being up to second should create a buzz for any player Bowyer is currently targeting.
    Wanna come to a winning team?

    Connor Wood wasn't that far behind him for me.

    Great result and a fantastic turn out by our supporters on a Tuesday night.
    Just seen the footage of GB running towards our fans at the end.
    Onwards and upwards.

    We'd have lost that 1-3 last year.

    Thinking about it, the win has sprinkled glitter on another scrappy performance. Stevanage were a team with no goals and no wins coming into this game, and we still let them dominate us. If we play like that against a half decent side, we're going to get spanked.
    Midfielder coming in an absolute must. We can't sit back on our laurels just because we're in second place. I really hope someone is relaying all this back to Rupp, and he's not just smiling smuggly infront of his teletext each time we play.

    We wouldn’t have got the 1 regardless of it been an OG as we’d have been 2 or 3 down by that point and our heads would be shot.

    I’m pretty clear and confident that our manager, Bowyer understands what’s still to be done to strengthen the team, I’m sure he has to juggle with what he’s got. He’s got very few competent subs, rotation is not possible. Two games so close together and win both is a miracle. We should recognise as supporters just what a ‘special manager’ we have.

    Knowing our luck last year, that OG would have been ruled offside!

    I think Palmer has been voted MOTM on the City Twitter feed. Maybe you were watching a different game to the rest of us?

    Didn’t go but watched online (first I’ve seen this season).

    We clearly need a left winger and a CM or two.

    Centre halfs, Wood and keeper all very good. Front two will win us games. First time in a long time I’ve not wanted rid of O’Connor.

    If we can continue to not concede many then we will score goals with those two up top.

    In addition, I think there’s a player in Devine. He had a good first 20 and last 20 but went missing in the middle.
