What a strike!! We've had a game and a half of properly organised, unspectacular but decent and combative league 2 football. Its shown all mccalls failings as a manager so far.

To be fair to him it was a cracking goal

That’s a cracking goal. The chest beforehand to take it inside the defender is nearly as good as the finish:

Sutton and Watt really seem to be complementing each other quite well in this system, struggling to create a huge amount going forward but I think that's probably just down to a lack of pace to stretch teams or really get in behind them. Much, much better though.

How are we not 3 goals clear, gotta feel for Cooke his assist stats would be so much better without the dross we have up front.

Southend and Barrow winning. Need to win this.
Clarke looks fucked and we might as well hook Novak while we’re at it.

Paudie has been immense in defence today and Cooke’s been everywhere in midfield.

First time I’ve felt like doing any ratings for a while:
O’Donnell: 7 - fuck all to do but when he did he produced a wonder save.
FCD: 6 quiet game AOC: 7.5 best game for a while POC: 9 MOM. A giant. Immense. Wood: 7.5 back to raiding forward and tackling hard. Push the boat out and get him signed up.
Pritchard: 6. One extra point for the goal but otherwise another forgettable performance. Sutton: 7.5 ran his bollocks off to good effect. Like a new signing etc since McCall left Cooke: 8.5 absolutely everywhere. Should have had an assist or two and a goal. Ran Paudie close for MOM. Watt: 7.5 Couple more seasons under his belt and he’s money. Clarke: 6.5 Odd decent flick and put Novak through but otherwise quiet and ineffective.
Novak: 4. Shite.

What the fucking fuck is this poll, where is Paudie and how is Novak in this poll?

Imagine Tweeting a MOM poll and missing out your best player.
Looking at the way the voting’s gone and it’s criminal that Sutton is rating higher than Cooke by a mile. Best players on the pitch were Paudie, Cooke, Sutton and Wood in that order.

It's amazing what happens when you play a formation the players know how to play. Suddenly they look like they know what they're meant to do.
See how it goes. We had this false dawn in league one under HopkinS before they reverted to being retards, so I'm not getting carried away.
The two O'Connors have both been excellent, both on Tuesday and again today. A back 4, everyone knows their job, and they do it.

How on earth is Pritchard in the vote, the goal apart he did nothing Forwards score goals, midfielders win tackles and defenders win headers. He scored a great goal so he gets nominated. It’s a cabbage’s view of football.

Have you seen his passing stats recently? Averages about 8 touches per game.

First game I’ve seen since Stuart got sacked. I was convinced no one could turn us around. But today we looked like a different team. Sutton actually looked good. Everyone did. Don’t think anyone had a bad game.
Makes me wonder, if they had that performance in them, what’s been stopping them? Prep? Formation? I was convinced we needed an almost entire new 11 but today was really encouraging and the first city game that I actually enjoyed in god knows how long.
Great goal from Pritchz, was not expecting that from him.
