    Was a good performance and very entertaining to watch and a much needed 3 points, However the defence is still terrible at times, They had 3 clear cut free unmarked headers in front of goal and only great saves from the keeper kept them out, Another day they would have gone in and we would have struggled to win the game, However lets enjoy the win and seeing another 4 goals going in and hope we can put the defence right in January

    I've been watching the replays of our second goal. Ball's initial shot was on target; the first deflection took it off target, the second put it back on target (and into the net).

    I know deflected goals are usually credited to the person shooting, if the initial shot is on target, but what about this one?

    A game to definitely take the positives from.

    The result, 4 goals non conceded,although the misses by Walsall emphasises the fact we're work in progress,off the bottom,and our owner attending his first game in a while and seeing the improvement in performance and result.Hopefully he will see the potential again and be prepared to back us in the Jan window!

    Anyone know if he was interviewed after the game? Try get a incline of his intentions.

    How the hell did Cook miss those headers for them? The second goal looked an own goal to me too.
    No problem though, 4-0 will do for the fella!! :party::party:

    Own goal for me, but who cares, we must have been due one.
    If the ball had run through to Miller at the far post, would he have been flagged for offside?

    If we are going by precedents, it looks like it should go down as an own goal. A quick search found that a similar set of circumstances happened in the Chelsea v Arsenal League Cup Semi-final earlier this year, initial shot on target, first defender's deflection takes it off target, second defender's deflection puts it back on target and into the net:
    TRIPLE HEADER Arsenal’s ‘pinball’ equaliser against Chelsea is pure comedy

    Got to be an own goal. I'd have claimed it though.
