Pleased for the travelling faithful - a good win and much needed2

3-1 and just the sort of performance we needed to get our season back on track.
Really pleased for Fosu, and bad luck to my Reading season ticket holder mate Pete, who marched into the office some months ago, furious that we'd signed him. As if it was my fault!
Fortunately I retired yesterday, so won't have to see him again, until next season, if we're promoted.
Sarr sounded immense, and in my opinion should now be first choice to play alongside Pearce when fit. I think he'll provide the attacking threat that Bauer does from corners etc.
And what a bonus having Marshall and Reeves available. Marshall deserves immense praise for getting himself fit about 6 weeks ahead of schedule. Reeves less so, perhaps.
I have changed my profile picture to reflect new mood of optimism that must be sweeping through south east London ;-)
Picture shows Jimmy and my mum btw.
Now I've retired, work starts in earnest on 'the book'.31 -
Decent win that. Let's be honest, most of us were not filled with confidence for today so a much needed bonus.
Very pleased for Fosu-Henry. He will have days where it doesn't work out for him and he's had a couple like that recently. But very important with his game he doesn't go into his shell and stop trying what he does17 -
Va Va Voom Henry
To score 3 goals at Highbury was such a good fit.3 -
Pleased for Fosu-henry, a confidence player that did'nt warrant the negativity by some , following the
Bury game.6 -
Excellent result at a place where a draw would have been ok
Despite the doubts and worries 11 points out of the games in September. We keep this up and we'll finish with 83 points.0 -
At the match..turgid first 10 mins...by both teams. got our nose in front, and then gifted them a goal from our throw in their half...once we got in front we controlled the game. Great fosu hat trick header left foot right foot, I think. Still in fleet wood celevating and wit dome of their fand. ..they are a decent lot .13

On the way home, played some lovely football and controlled most of the game. Superb hat-trick, especially the third.
They all played well.
Palace.... Hahaha4 -
Been a good day all round today. Charlton won, Millwall lost, Palace lost. Been a while coming I think.7

I'm so pleased with Sarr's improvement, sounded like he was immense today. The first network shocker to come good? Well done Thomas Driesen for playing FIFA 16.9

Great result, just makes the defeats against Gillingham & Plymouth even more galling, especially as they are the only wins those 2 team s have got so far this season. I know that football is a game of if's & buts - just feel we should be 3 or 4 points better off & sitting pretty in 2nd or 3rd spot.
Out of interest, anyone know why Fosu joined us in the summer rather than stay at Reading ? They were a penalty away from the Prem & we could easily have been in League 2, so was it just about game time or something more involved like a falling out with the manager or another player ?? Just seems strange that he'd want to drop a League.0 -

Excellent result and a performance to match by the sound of it. Shame next weekend's game has been called off.
Squad is too thin, still think that'll cost us, but we've beaten a decent side today.1 -
He wanted first team action according to my Reading mate (who thought he should have started at Reading).golfaddick said:Great result, just makes the defeats against Gillingham & Plymouth even more galling, especially as they are the only wins those 2 team s have got so far this season.

On the train back to Preston.
In complete control but gifted them a goal from our own stupid playing around.
Played some nice stuff and they could not handle fosu, well played Karl putting and biggen up Marshall and reeves from the bench think it did work as well fosu who's place properly most under threat answered that.
Top man fosu could of gone down for a penalty but stayed on his feet to grab the matchball.
Did not really notice the ref so in that case you say he had a good game.
Roll on the the bright lights of Preston for a few hours until my train home.17 -
Credit where it is due, I really enjoyed watching that on the stream, as i did Northampton. Could not say that about any game last season. Fosu may not be the finished article but bloody hell a hat-trick like that is no flash in the pan either, especially given how the Reading fans rated him.
@SDAddick has it all covered with his review above, except that, their goal. What happened there? Somebody got turned too easily I think, and for a few minutes afterwards we were wobbling a bit. Well quite a lot, actually.Like I said at h-t there is still a soft centre somewhere in defence but I can't work out exactly where or what. But I am talking about this in the context of, are we good enough to go up, whereas last weekend I was starting to think my 8th place prediction was looking optimistic. There was as SDA said, a calmness and authority to our game today that we haven't seen before. I think Sarr had a lot to do with that.
So fair play to Robinson and all of them today , job well done, and playing exciting football too.9 - Sponsored links:

We were in control from start to finish, Amos is our weak link. Holmes ran the show and Sarr was brilliant.

Started like a game of chess, clearly under orders to keep it tight and take no risks. Fleetwood is first team recently that hasn't pressed us high up pitch and this played into our hands. Fleetwood really didn't seem up for it at any time.
Fosu obviously has to be MOM but Sarr played like he was an International, Jay had their winger in his pocket and Konsa frightened the life out of their defence when he floated at pace past opponents like they weren't there. Josh got little change from the back four but stil created a goal with brilliant work.
Their goal was a gift, overplaying in the wrong area.
Was a supreme confidence and arrogance throughout team this afternoon.
The extra height of Konsa and Sarr made us a lot stronger in defence and might mean Solly will struggle to get his place back.15 -
Fleetwood were poor we were superb. Better at the back with the towering Sarr and Konsa looking very comfortable at right back (he is NOT a reliable central defender)
Everyone had a good game, including Magennis who hardly had a sniff but always kept the Fleetwood defence fully occupied and on their toes.
We were lethal in attack and generally assured in defence. Bauer as skipper wore 'the armband' assuredly .. Amos communicated well with the defenders .. midfield and full backs knitted seamlessly, Da Silva was terrific
Fosu ?.. this will be the making of him .. great to see Reeves & Marshall getting some game time .. the squad is now taking shape nicely .. Pearce and Solly were not missed in the slightest .. Ricky Holmes was himself always dangerous ..Kashi was everywhere, a great reader of the game alongside the impressive Forster-Caskey
IF we can maintain this form for the rest of the season we are certs for promotion ... BUT look at the results .. anyone can beat anyone on any given matchday13 -
