I'm convinced hes often under instruction to play a bit more conservatively.
The shackles were off to day 2nd half and he ran them ragged.

Superb 2nd half, never gave them a sniff.
Walloped both lots of plastic Geordies in their own back yards.

That's Wearside and Teeside under our control. Next year.... Tyneside

Hopefully Wright isn’t badly injured…. I don’t think he was even getting on the bench for the Oxford game so hopefully a week or two to recover if it’s only minor.

So Wright is our top goal scorer and has the most assists. He's still really kicking on. Thought Simms played so much better too.

I'd be tempted to keep Simms in too. He'd getting up to speed and clicking so give him a bit more time.

I'd personally like to thank @Grendel for taking one for the team and questioning Mark Robins future which as always kickstarted this great run of form

Cheers mate

is that a positive double figure goal difference too now?

down to a strong and stingy defence, and forward players who can actually put the ball in the net - if Tats ever lines up at right back again I’ll lose my shit…!

amazing what a bit of confidence can do, the whole team to a man played very well today, even Eccles improved 2nd half and played a great reverse pass for the start of the move that led to our third goal.

Binks was a good stand-in, and understandable he took a bit of time to get back into the swing of it but looked solid after that, and I also thought Godden looked up for it when he came on - I think that’s his role now but he’s a good option to have.

a couple of good strong championship experienced players in the transfer window, and who knows where this team goes from here - 10 points from 12 over the festive period (and should’ve really been 12), or 15 out of 21 in December after Ipswich isn’t something to be sniffed at.

I reckon we would’ve done Ipswich too if we’d stuck to our guns, but that’s just me!

PUSB and actually looking forward to playing Leicester now, which in some respects is just a free hit….but I just have a sneaky feeling…..

Can’t explain how good that second half was

buzzing with that well done to the whole team

tatsu is superb, and we’ll have Kitching back for Leicester

Be nice to actually rotate Saturday and not be hindered to much in terms of a drop in quality

The rested legs and changes for Swansea game was one minute away from pure genius from Robins, maybe if he had put Bidwell on in the last 5 it may have been all 3 but what a run, what a team and are we going again……..I hope so

agree in some respects, and should still be strong enough to beat them, but personally I think they need to keep the momentum going so would possibly throw a few more first teamers in too - Simms from the start, Tats on the bench, O’Hare maybe too
