    Same with Tyreik. He did not elsewhere.

    Sometimes it's hard to look past performance and focus on a good fit - but that's a real skill.

    A bit like you ranting on a forum that 'Hughes is a clown' eh.

    Anyway, despite your grievances at our manager - he has proven you and others wrong today. Cook got a hatrick - correct decision.

    There has been a lot of negativity from the crowd and chat sites in recent weeks. But maybe, just maybe, this has had the positive effect of making the manager re-think tactics, formations and team selection.

    Didn't expect that but fair play to the team today.
    Three solid points but now this result needs to be the start of a winning run and not a flash in the pan Infront of 411 away supporters.
    Tuesday night could be very interesting.

    That has to rank as Walkers best game of the season so far, and without doubt Cook looked his old self, hustle bustle with their CD bitching to the referee that's more likely the old Andy Cook, and bagging 3 goals will do his confidence a world of good.

    Got to love a Saturday after a win, from absolute shite to world beaters. The wonderful world of social media.
    Amazing just how important a firing Andy Cook is to this side, was excellent today

    Shame you hadn't been this visible for the previous 8 league games.Just popping up because we've played well today means nothing.

    See you in another 9 games.

    Fantastic win, Cook being fit and scoring is the key to keeping Hughes in his job. It’s taken Hughes a lot of games and player selection to find a team that can create more than a couple of chances in one game, We all hope he keeps the team playing with this momentum. I genuinely hope so.

    So we are now 2 points from a play off spot and only 4 from automatic. Of course this win doesn’t suddenly turn Hughes into Pep but I think it underlines the stupidness of wanting him sacked at this stage of the season.

    It's a good feeling for sure let's hope there's no reactions injury wise, Pattison maybe available for 20 or so minutes against Boro then we welcome Wallsall who have had their pants pulled down at home to Wimbledon today.

    Good win and fair dos to Hughes. Now we need to build on it. Suddenly we start in a positive mindset. Long may that continue. The key for me was the absence of Smallwood. McDonald was excellent.

    Let’s hope Smallwood starts on the bench more often. It’s a breath of fresh air having players passing the ball forward to create goals!

    I saw some of the pelters last week McDonald got from some quarters but I think he could be a really important player for us this season if he stays fit

    He's activated maximum cope after our first convincing win of the season.

    I'll leave it there I don't want you to.put me on ignore you dont like posters questioning your posts if I remember correctly.
    And I hope Hughes proves my wrong from now until the end of the season but IMO he brought Cook back as he didn't have faith in the other payers who have taken the striker role.

    Probably was another 1-1 draw without Cook.
