    Well what a turn around since half time at Notts Co. 11 goals and 1 conceded in league and Cup.

    Well done to the team for comfortably negotiating a potential banana skin.

    Amazing to think many were either writing season off or predicting a relegation battle only 10 days ago.

    Lots of improvement still needed, but at least we are back in the running to mount a play off challenge.

    GA settling in well now. Be interesting to see what he does in the January window

    I'm glad others can see it. Some just see clean sheet and assume the centre halves were magnificent.

    Very short sighted and not really appraising the game correctly.

    Was that the one he put it for a corner despite facing the half way line?

    Oh wait, no, that was a free header.

    I mean, we've got a tough run of games coming up, Salford probably the easiest of the lot - and for some reason, it still doesn't sound too easy to me, that one...

    Let's just be glad we've added some points to the tally for now.

    I've not really seen anything in the two league games to suggest we're up, up and away, but running out 3-0 winners against a side in trouble is always nice. We weren't beating the stragglers under Hughes, but we did tonight, so well done all involved.

    These comments confuse me. Statistically true/close. Actually five points but also six teams above us so we need to keep the run going, maybe 13 points from the next 15 to get closer to the top seven because the six (seven including 7th place) teams above us won't all lose their next three games.

    Well done the lads. Taylor !! Lost his head. Great workman performance. I thought FGR were poor, passed a lot at the back and sideways and we just went through them.

    Yes, we're 5 points off the play offs, not 4.

    And when we say "play offs", we're literally talking 7th place, because the team in 6th are ten points ahead of us.

    I'm unclear why you'd drop Walker or Gilead for Pointon, when those two are simply more streetwise and in Walker just as skillful.

    I really don't get this obsession with Pointon. Pep never plays his youngsters all the time, saying that how the players fit into his system is most important. Virtually every manager I've heard, says you can't play them all the time - they often need a rest, when they don't realise it.

    It's not as though Pointon has been some kind of vibrant match winner. He certainly was important in the Swindon game, but understandably is still a bit green occasionally.

    Pointon's time will come. Not unlike what happened with Andy O'Brien - who was one of the junior members of the 1999 promotion team and then came into his own at a higher level.

    Finally, remember Parky dumping Liam Moore, stating that a L2 scrap wasn't the place for him.

    Smallwood was crap tonight, but who can really be arsed focusing on who the worst player was.

    We've got tougher games coming up, but a weekend off since we're out of the cup.

    That's a lot of time for GA to improve things, and we've got a silly game against Liverpool U21's next Tuesday for target practice.

    Another clean sheet. So with Taylor being so bad Kelly and Platt must be doing alright?

    Yes but, judging from the comments and general mood of the fans - you'd think we were 26 points away.

    Good win. I can see Alexander getting plenty of these.

    I think like Parky he understands the division - which is why the likes of Pointon and Wilson (who has rarely had a bad game) are having to bide their time at the moment.

    But I can also see a few defeats as well!!
