Andy Cook’s got a perfect, first half hat trick and still isn’t our best player. Vernam has turned these round and bummed them from the first minute.
This is the sort of promise I’ve been hoping to see. Not just the score but the directness and the willingness to go at the opposition. At three one up we aren’t stopping either. This is good to watch.

Just have a shot at goal... Very good.
That's all we want, a little bit of hard work and pressure on the other team.

Good grief, what a half.
When was the last time we had a wide threat like Vernham - he's absolutely raping them - a genuine 'get the ball to him' kind of threat.
Only problem is we're liable to fall asleep at the back.

This is good to watch. Vernam has been great, Gilliead some decent runs. Bit late and it got him a booking but the tackle FCD but in on their player early on was delicious.

We’re playing some great football here. Cooke and Vernam linking up well.

The defending for their goal apart that was absolutely beautiful to watch. Everything we've always wanted from them, even the ref was superb.
I'm off for a wank

Ratings
ROD 6 - seemed slow to get down for goal. Otherwise not much to do.
FCD 8 - much improved. Looked composed and a threat going forward. Rider 6 - suspect defensively but looked good going forward. Canavan 8 - man mountain. How did AOC start over him last season?? POC 7 - solid. Puts his body on the line.
Vernam 10 - so dangerous. Easily MOM for me. Gilliead 8 - so comfortable on the ball. Cooke 8 - consistently good. So composed. Watt 6 - wasteful again. Not just hollywood balls either, gave the ball away far too easily.
Cook 9 - so powerful. Unplayable tonight. Angol 6 - gets in good positions but fluffs his lines too often.
Lavery and Songo'o didn't do much in their limited time but Cranky looked good, great play for his assist.
Good night at the office. Have that you negative cunts.

I'd probably up watt to a 7 and put angol as a 5 but agree with the rest.

Penalty aside i thought Angol did well in terms of his link up play.
Watt I'd have as a 7 - several times he managed possession well in right spaces.
I actually thought FCD still looked a bit suspect first half. Improved second, but that's 2 games in a row that teams have targeted him. And he can't cross a ball to save his life. Still a 7. In fact, no one below a 7 for me tonight.
But yeah, Vernham was different gravy. That was a Championship level performance from him.

That’s the best we’ve played in a long long time.
Can only echo what others have said. Angol looks like he’s done his hammy so he probably won’t take a pen for a while. His link up play is good but he’s just got fuck all composure in front of goal.
Add a partner for Cook to this team and maybe some cover for the big man because we’re fucked if he gets injured and we could have a long overdue good season.
Gomp gomp gomp.

First game back since before the lockdown.
We looked solid and purposeful, playing deep but hitting them on the break like a coiled snake. No tippy tappy McCall ball bollocks. We seemed a bit weak at RB, got caught out a few times with diagonal balls.
Cook and Vernham unplayable.
ROD could have reacted quicker for the goal, otherwise didn't have much to do. I think his kicking is starting to improve.
Gilliead was decent but not outstanding. Crankshaw looked good when he came on.
Angol got into good positions but no composure, just flaps about.
Songo came on too late to have any impact on the game.
Atmosphere was good, NW corner making lots of noise. Maybe its the acoustics, but the curved shape of the stand seemed to generate more volume.
Only one kiosk open in the bottom of the kop, so didn't even bother trying to queue. I think some questions need asking on that front tbh
Other than that the ground seemed a bit more presentable. Dare i say it 'championship' like.
