Bit late, but, here goes, he said McG was difference between the 2 sides on Boxing Day, but then I thought, "you didn't think that when you won at our place", when McG scored a quality goal, which is funny because the game on Boxing Day, McG could've, well really should've scored 2 before his class goal, also, the game was won before that goal.

Why so late? Today's game got me thinking, with Elliott getting 2, it shows chances are being created by our team, and they take them, also, their manager was saying they should've won, they conceded silly goals etc. are they taking it away from Elliott? Because I'm sure if McG had played and scored them 2 goals their manager would've said McG was the difference today.

I was about to put "sour grapes?" After the Stevenage manager part! I'm glad we're being branded a 1 man team because we all know it isn't true, if we were, we would've got whooped today!

Sour grapes from Robinson today too. Fact is, we're the most confident I've seen us for so long and that is due to Robins. A REAL manager with real nous. He is the most important person. And I'm very glad he got the songs today. My voice has gone and it's because I shouted for them all the way. So proud to be a Sky Blue tonight!!

He was going on about missing players, but conveniently forgets (or ignores, either way) we were missing the league's top goal scorer and our best CM.

Exactly. Man of the match - Mark Robins. Half time team talk shows he is the real deal!

I went to the game with my mate, who supports Liverpool (who I went L'pool v Villa with), who was a ST holder (didn't support CCFC though), said its gotta be the 1st time he's heard us fans sing about a manager like that.

Side note: he hasn't been to a game (bar v Arsenal) yet, so is completely neutral and doesn't hold any vendettas against any players thought top 3 players were: Moussa, Fleck Edj (Baker close though) and thought Adams wasn't great.

Adams had a poor first half by his standards but he was being left exposed too much. Sheff wasn't tracking back as he should first half but Robins obviously said at ht that he needs to help out defensively. It worked, their right mid didn't do much 2nd half after basically running the show 1st half.

That's why I don't think McSheff should start tbh, too much of a liability defensively on the wing, doesn't get enough goals in the CAM role, but I will be the first to admit, I have been impressed with his assists. In Robins' we trust!

Absolutely spot on. That was the difference second half.

Thought Moussa (even without the goal) was brilliant today. All over the pitch pressing and good use of the ball.

Moussa was class. Always looking for the ball, always had space. Tracked back, got forward and put a foot in. Great performance.

It's funny really, if your mate had gone to the preston game he would have thought Moussa was poor and that adams was our best player, and if he's have seen the sheff Utd JPT game he probably wouldn't have believed Fleck was a professional footballer after his anonymous 15 minute cameo.

Sorry....I didn't mean it like that, more that its difficult for his mate to make assumptions about players on 1 performance, I was actually backing your comment up about how well adams had played for us apart from yesterday's match.

I have more than one mate mind. I normally have a spare ST because I got one for my little bro for his birthday but he can't go very often.
