That was a great night at the CBS!

People can mock lights shows and fireworks etc but I loved it. I personally was jealous when Leicester had the opera singers do their thing at walkers stadium. It felt big time opposed to league 2 nights in empty stadiums. The smoke from fireworks made it look like a galatasaray game and loved the flags too, very serie a.

Atmosphere was good and at certain points so fucking loud.

Performance was it was decent if not spectacular. I told everyone around me Eccles needed to come off for emc and I like to think everyone in block 22 thought to themselves this guy is always right! Some credit to lampard too I don't want the focus to be on me.

Thomas kithcing grimes mve BTA we have so many cult heroes right now.

And an almost perfect night of results to boot

It's great to be a sky blue right now

Performances getting worse, it feels like Lampard is going to be an all or nothing manager. Good run, bad run.

A Good run, Good run Manager.

Eccles was the only one that stood out as poor to me. Didn't press, didn't move forward into space and didn't do what we expect of someone in that position. Was he bad, no. But he wasn't the right fit for that spot and the way we play. I said after 25 minutes we needed to swap him for EMC and put BTA in the middle. Whats really pleasing is how quick Lamps made that change.

From my Sunday league days, I couldn't care I'm taking the shot on

You're hitting the goalie, and they're going up the other end and getting the equaliser.

Later, when you get out of the changing room showers, one of your new £100 trainers is suspiciously damp and warm. The other one is on the roof.

A bit cat and mouse at Stoke. More pressure on them at home and trailing us in the league. Could be interesting.

He coincided with it but we just played with far better intensity and aggression regardless

Having two threats on the flanks made the difference, we had nothing left side in the first half

jordan210 · Tuesday at 10:36 PM

Emc makes some really odd decisions like when to pass or shoot or cut back

Ref didn't see it because Bobby's head was in the way

OHare played well

Today was so important to win to show we dust down from a defeat and get back to it.

A win today take a bit of pressure of before Stoke as well. Regardless of the result we go into the international break in 1st.

After the break Rudoni will be back and we get closer to the Jan window. Get some extra talent in to push!

Thought Rushworth was excellent as well.

I actually thought McCallum was arguably their best player tonight

Ref had blown but that save in the 1st half was unbelievable

I didn't think he was particularly bad , he could've scored and set up a couple of chances first half . Think it was more a combination of him not quite at it and BTA not offering much out wide .
EMC had to come on and BTA looked much better centrally

Oh bloody hell not this again.

Meh. Win is the main thing, but people would be lying if they said it was comfortable. ‘Better team for the entirety of the second half’ is a stretch, we started looking scrappy again late on.

Course he was. Big audition to be fourth choice LB here.

i thought he looked a lot less confident tonight to be honest.

Perennial Lurker · Tuesday at 10:39 PM

Thought he was indecisive at times , a few of the back line were on at him to come out earlier and clear long balls .

Sakamoto is full of confidence and it shows. He was a little one dimensional under Robins but now much more variation.

That moment in the first half when he drove at 2 players was really excellent. What a lovely little player he is...

clint van damme · Tuesday at 10:41 PM

1-0 down at half time off the back of an all round shit show Friday but win 3-1.
That's promotion level cojones

We aren't Brazil 1970 FFS
Playing badly and winning is the mark of a good side
And we started to look scrappy when they were throwing on attackers , it happens at every level

Like I said earlier , really strange looking table

Not as strange as this one

Yeah but you would at least expect him to get around the pitch.

Didnt look anywhere near fit tonight. Needs the international break to put some work in on the training ground.

Really. Surprised at that. Thought he was decisive and made two absolutely brilliant clawing saves.

Paul Anthony · Tuesday at 10:42 PM

Radio induced confusion aside...

I was worried in that first half, it seemed like more of the same from Wrexham and actually the couple of games before that even with the changes.

As soon as we came out second half and just had more intensity about us, it seemed so much better. That's absolutely where we're at our best. EMC was just what was needed at that moment and a solid tactical call to change it.

Whatever was said at half time was clearly taken in.

O'Hare and Sam Mac the only two out of their squad I'd have anywhere near our bench. Imagine having the money they've had in the last 5-6 years, and bringing Tom Davies and Danny Ings on to try and get you something out of a game.

Like @skybluecam said and a few others , I think Frank felt we had to play another proper midfielder tonight after Friday's capitulation
Turned out it was the wrong choice but Eccles wasn't that bad it's just we looked better with EMC left and BTA with Wright

I bet they are still paying them and Tom cannon a fortune

Matt smith · Tuesday at 10:45 PM
