Bloody good job too

Did not look happy when he entered the pitch. Not a smile when he scored a brilliant goal, from a brilliant cross. I wonder why.

It’s not revisionism on my part but I posted he didn’t look happy the moment the change in management happened.  It’s been pretty clear to me despite the club interview where he claimed all is great!  Still got it though when he gets a chance.   That finish was grade A yesterday evening, absolutely superb.

True, but they’ve definitely got something about them as a collective, and pace too. The generally accepted view was that they’d fall away just after Xmas, if anything they’ve got stronger.

Must admit I was very much in that camp.  Guess that shows that I thought their league 1 squad would falter!  Have to say chapeau to them atm, as massively annoying as that is. Still hope they fall away to play offs.   Ashton in the Prem will be unbearable!

Agreed. 

All eras come to an end, it feels like the SL one has ended in trajectory if not reality.

We need some fresh impetus (IMO). Energy, new ideas and enthusiasm.

Can we include some actual footballing nous in that list as well please!

We need to learn the dark arts. Played well this evening but are far too honest.

Weirdly I thought we were quite ‘good’ (for want of a better word) at this tonight.   Lots of time being taken to take set pieces, throw ins, injuries etc.  Crowd were getting wound right up with it!

I think you do them a disservice, the sum of the parts is much much more than a league one squad, as much as it pains me to say it. I’d say that Leeds and Ipswich have been the 2 best teams at AG this season. It might be league one recruited players but they do have a thing going for them. Reminds me a bit Cotterill’s promotion team, they just know how to win and have huge belief that they will regardless.

I said they are a League 1 squad with a few key additions. If I’d put a ‘League 1 promotion winning squad’ would that make it better? I thought that was obvious but evidently not! It’s what they are.  It’s factual.

It helps when you can bring on the type of quality subs that they have

That’s a whole different debate which I cannot be arsed with tonight, but just to say they are a league 1 squad with a few key additions.   It’s not an excuse.

Sky love in with teams like Ipswich

Hurts but it’s currently very much deserved.   They’ve changed the game and should’ve won 4/2 from 1/2 down.  And they’ve turned games around consistently with superb game management and man management…….

We do look a lot less fit as a team now.

One of the reasons we have our new man in charge was to improve the fitness wasn’t it.   What a joke that’s turned out to be!!

Not one of the people moaning has answered this yet.

Not sure if I count but he should’ve brought Roberts on for Pring at least.   He was injured as it was.   He looked ******. And Burns had him on toast almost immediately when he came on.  Needed changing.

He’s good at saving shots that get hit straight at him 

You missed the double save a few mins ago then?

Well done Maxi
