A massive boost?

EMC was offside, not Wright. It was marginal, but correct.

They were a threat, but they never looked like winning. At 2-0 the next goal was crucial; if they'd have got it, it may well have been a different result. However, they didn't, because we were so much better at putting the ball in the back of the net than them. 3-0 the game was over. We didn't...

And that's the most hyperbolic statement I've seen... well, for a while, anyway. Unless of course you only started watching this season.

Christ, I had to think about that.

We were 3-0 up for most of it. It wasn't a great performance, and the first half could have been almost any score. We put three of our chances away, they put none of theirs. The second half was a non-event from our point of view. I'd read nothing into it whatsoever.

Very different challenge than today, I suspect.

Other than Rushworth, BTA everywhere again. Kitching with more than one crucial bit of defending. We looked over-run in midfield generally, but Allen used the ball well.

They were good. No-one else has caused us anything like that sort of trouble. However, they won't do anything this season because they're calamitous at the back.

I'm glad that's finished. Three points. That's all that matters.

Bloody hell! That was very strange. From about the 15th minute, and the one that wasn't given, we were so open. Rushworth has been brilliant, and on the one occasion that he wasn't, Kitching was.

Presumably. It was a bit naughty.

I now want Lincoln to play Nice in a biscuity football bonanza.

Our start has been favourable. Our start has been exceptional. These two statements aren't mutually exclusive. Plus, nobody's making up the numbers this year; all teams are competitive at the level they are playing at. It is just a start at this stage, though, so I'm trying to keep my feet...

I know. I didn't like him, either. Though now I have no opinion on him particularly. He was very young; he's probably quite a different person now.

Bellamy was coming back off a very serious injury and so even if fully fit, was very rusty, and also stepping up a level. He also was the wrong type of player, as he wasn't a natural finisher (he found his niche at Newcastle, I think). He was a poor signing, but it wasn't down to his failings...

Belgian Cedric Roussel absolutely owned Adams and Keown that day. Take whatever analogy you like from that.

Flattered them, that score. An absolutely wonderful game of football.

He's without question the best player I've seen play for us.

The football was often expansive and entertaining, but there's always the feeling that we generally underachieved. We had some players of genuine quality, and, in Dublin an Huckerby, one of the best strike partnerships in the league. But we never finished above 11th. Yes, we were up against...
