    I suppose it's positive (in relative terms) that only Igor has gone to hospital

    His happened in the first half though so could send him to Hospital and get him back before the coach leaves for London

    Are some of our players made of paper, Christ, Igor has some shit luck !
    On the plus, it sounds like we were comfortable and a clean sheet as well means a good Tuesday !
    Onwards and upwards
    Well done Bowyer and the lads.

    Not sure, ajose on top form not as good as Vetokele top form but Ajose is in last chance saloon and Bowyer may get something out of him if he is needed

    A good 3 points but how can we keep getting injuries every game. Didn't Shrewsbury play the same team 10 matches in a row last season on their way to the play offs.
    We can't play the same team 2 matches in a row.
    The only good news is Taylor getting booked he can now have 21 days rest before the Burton away game.
    Bowyer and Jackson are doing a great job considering the bizarre events off the field and the injury prone squad on the field.
    I can see a very young team playing on Saturday,

    To be honest, Igor may as well stay there. He'll just end back there in a few months anyway

    He has been very unlucky for us but I think that’s a bit much.

    Think we can recall Umerah. Only 1 in 3 and three levels down but offers a bit of brute force that Karlan could feed off.

    How often do we have a comfortable win like this.
    Oh wait, two dislocated shoulders will take the gloss off.

    We were the better team by a distance, but throughout I was worried we might mess it up. On reflection the win isn't the issue it is the sacrifices we are now making to get the win.
    Josh Cullen was running the game, but he got what might have been a dislocated shoulder, will need to check. Igor carried off for what seemed like an innocuous injury...the list of crocked players climbs higher.
    I am worried for Sunday as Mansfield are a very hard team to beat, and they had a confidence building win this evening, if we field a side of inexperienced youngsters they had better be well drilled against tough pros who are a regular unit. We must not have the attitude that we get the cup game out of the way and then have a restorative break.
    Still tomorrow is another day and all that, it will be nice to get home, and lick wounds, and also relish three very welcome points.
    I wonder why Fosu and Cullen are so shot shy. OK Cullen when he rejects a shooting chance usually moves the ball on well, but with Fosu a few more shots rather than the extra touch would be worth it, he might score, it might rebound to one of ours, it might be deflected for a corner. All of those options are better than a promising move petering out and being cleared or ending up with a meh throw in. Fosu won the penalty mind.
    Like everybody I worried when Taylor stepped up, but he was due to score this one and he did.
    Igor was pretty tame and Grant was a good forced replacement. Pratley put it about, Sarr showed what a precise passer he can be and was error free, Solly was tested but responded, and he was flat out chopped in the mush second half and Bowyer protested the officials handling of that situation and was booked, but Sol's and Bow were actually right in that instance.
    Belik weighed in with a goal following the corner, like Aribo last Saturday he was alert to the half chance, he had a very good game. Karlan might have scored but their keeper saved his header well. Taylor was Taylor in a way that Solly is Solly and Pearce is Pearce, meaning all have a minimum standard of at least a 7 every game, a managers dream actually. Aribo is very effective, although Cullen was the best midfielder this evening in my view.
    Two wins in a row is somewhat of a rarity, we must build on that.
    Massive respect to the travelling 300+, could hear them over the airwaves despite the loudness of the commentators.

    2 x players out...I’m sure Roland will provide LB with financial support for a couple of loanees. It’s RD’s financial acumen and football knowledge that will enable the ream to march towards the promise land, securing the sale of the club at the beginning of the new year at a price that meets his estimation.

    Watching on iFollow it looked more like a 4-4-2 tonight with Fosu cutting in from the left and Pratley on the right. Cullen played fairly deep making it look like a diamond at times with Aribo usually the one that pushed forward.

    Like Saturday a comfortable win, but I still feel we need to be scoring more goals. We’re getting a lot of penalties which is a big improvement on last season. Pleased to see us score another from a corner again as well, another weakness last season. On the other hand we don’t ever look like scoring some of the long range or individual efforts that we did last season.

    I think what would really improve us is a good attacking wing back (or even two). Page was decent in that role when he was fit. Solly, Sarr and Dijksteel don’t really offer that, at least not consistently enough. When he’s ready I’d also like to see what Clarke can offer at the top of the diamond, where he’s a much more natural option than Ward or Fosu. If he can get back to the level he was I think he’ll find playing behind Grant and Taylor much easier than trying to play behind a lone Magennis.

    More width, pace and crossing threat from the wing backs and creativity from that attacking midfield position could make a big difference to this team.

    Home from Mr F's birthday treat of an evening with Alistair McGowan & the superb Jasper Carrott in Tunbridge Wells to the brilliant news of another 3 points on the road.

    Well done to all concerned both on & off the pitch.

    Onwards & upwards.

    Looking back at the highlights, we played very well and looked a great threat going forward.

    Only thing I picked up on is one specific attack when Solly ventured forward, he passed to Taylor which was slightly over hit before going back to Fosu. But the pass to Vetokele was on and the right one to make, just into space and into his path, he would’ve run onto it and scored.
