    Not the best performance, however another welcome 3 points and a win on the road.

    Defence once more magnificent.

    Halliday probably pipped my man of the match award over Huntington and Baldwin.

    We got away with the penalty shout when Adamarola clearly handled, however was Sarcevic really offside, maybe those decisions cancelled each other out.

    Great assist for Jamie Walker, bloody love that man, and well taken by Bobby.

    Are we good enough to stay in the automatic places, not sure, but the defence and the general hardworking nature of the full squad may get us over the line, because we do look chronically short up front. Hopefully Kavanagh back soon.

    Disagree with you on that! But if we can win away we a few off their game it makes it a better 3 points!

    I love this team we have built, such passion!

    Too predictable , half a team of giants , they won’t be playing it on the deck. Defence coped easily in hindsight.

    No one's moaning. Just making an observation. I'm as delighted as anyone else we won but Smallwood, Sarcevic, Mellon and Khela gave the ball away an awful lot and generally, after a bright start, we dropped down a few levels.

    32 points from the last 13 games, this is an astonishing run.

    Just the one chance at the end of the game (unless I missed one) apart from that we were in control, oh for a fit Andy Cook with the chances we're not finishing.

    For celebrating with the fans and NOT taking his shirt off.

    League 2 refs are clueless.

    We win Saturday and it really does crank the pressure up on the chasing pack us being at home 3 out of the next 4 games after Saturday against teams that we should be beating

    Someone needs to tell him there are such a thing as XXL coats and headwear other than a baseball cap.
    About as professional as a bogey on the lip.

    Games in hand could easily see us back in 5th. We can only win our games and see what happens.

    If we had Cook we'd be playing completely differently. Since Cook has been injured the plan has gone from creating chances for Cook to creating chances for the team. A lot of the chances we are creating are coming from Mellon/Kavanagh running the defence around which is creating more room for Pointon and Sarcevic. I don't know what the stats are but I'd say are putting in a lot less crosses into the box like we used to for Cook,

    Way some go on you'd think we struggled to a win. We battered them for most of the game, take our chances and we put that game to bed with ease.
    So much to like about this team right now.
