    Bar the first ten, we’ve been excellent. I hope we really kill them off second half

    HT.

    Best opening 45 mins that I've seen in a long time. Purposeful & not slow in getting the ball into the box.

    Only downside is teams above us all winning, apart from Reading. Getting into the top 6 is going to be difficult. 
    Wrexham and Wycombe both losing. Both could be caught by the teams below them

    All the sides in our cluster winning at half time. If Huddersfield aren’t careful they’re gonna get dragged back into the pack 
    Hopefully. Orient on a fantastic run at the moment. 
  • Poor first 15 minutes but on top since then. Need to make more of our corners...

    Think Mitchell has been class but does make a difference having 3 back there that can use the ball well, feel Macca is having a good game too

    What a goal from Edwards - genuine quality

    Playing with flair and confidence now, some very good performances out there but Godden and Edwards have been excellent.

    All we can do is keep winning our games, no point worrying about anyone else yet

    Godden having a sensational game too

  • Would prefer 3 at the back, and an extra player in midfield.

    Was getting a little overrun in midfield

    Only disappointment is the crowd. The Valley looks empty.

    Watching while leading a meeting. Thank god for dual monitors. We look brilliant, they look poor. Massive goal from Josh Edwards who we should remember had the assist on Saturday. We look like a team in form and brimming with confidence. Now let's get a third and start to rest players for Blackpool.

    Wow. What a difference when the pressure is off. Set up is good and the press working well. Small and TC looking dangerous and Godden doing a great job at giving Nathan an option. Berry having one of his better games. Midfield working hard and defence good. Even AMB did his bit with the save from the FK. 

    If we start the half well I'd try to keep Miles off the pitch and give him a full rest. Chuks and DK can do whatever we need hopefully.

    Need to get Small that contract, he could make a big difference if we push on.

    So much better when we don't have a target man to pump long balls up to.

    Best first half at home all season, keep it up please.

    Took 10 minutes to get going but that was an excellent and confidence performance for 35 minutes.
    Are we capable of playing like that for 90+ ?

    Momentum is a wonderful thing and I have wanted Edwards, Ramsey and Small starting the game together and so pleased it working well tonight.

  • Really good. Bar any disasters should also mean we don’t need to use Chuks which is a bonus

    Even without a target man, Rovers look weak at the back. There will be chaos when Chuks comes on.

    Yes, I feel a bit sorry for Mitchell because he has been very good, but there was one particular through ball from Ramsay that made everyone sit up. I don't think we'd get a ball like that out of Mitch if he played all season.

    Down in Cornwall at the moment, just got back from a restaurant and completely forgot we were playing so a nice surprise. I predicted 3 or 4 -1 in the pre match thread so……….COYR

    They could but I very much doubt it.  We're only a few points off the play offs yet cant get above  the 7th & 8th placed teams.
