Thanks Frank. That was an absolute treat. Complete domination. Forgotten players being given a chance to flourish.

Away end was excellent. The players are thriving off the positivity. Momentum is fully building.

So many great performances on the pitch.

It would be very harsh to drop Allen I think.

Excellent performance, only disappointment is only 2.0, should have been 3/4/5.

Roll on Wednesday, I really fancy us. Grimes to start - not sure who for yet.

Allen, not because he deserves dropping but because he deserves a little break before Ipswich

Grimes may end up like dovin. Waiting for current midfield to slip up a little to get him in and then he cements.

However I can't see it being too long either.

So to summarise he might play Vs Leeds he might not

Leeds are in win-draw-win-draw mode, would be a good point for us and definitely viable.

Draw would be huge. Think it’ll be a backs to the wall job but you never know at the minute.

I can see Grimes coming straight in for Leeds. My suspicion is maybe for Torp.

Might need to with the quick turnaround. Not much but anyone who's struggling a bit. It's a good excuse to get Grimes in if he wanted to.

Grimes will be cup tied for Ipswich won’t he?

If players need rotation with extra games can see him starting against Leeds in that case.

Grimes also cup tied so can’t play next Saturday - so imagine he will play for Allen or torp

What an incredible afternoon with the Sky Blue Army.

This is a team that has clicked and is playing with supreme confidence. We are so well-drilled and solid, and it's in stark contrast to how we looked in the run-up to Robins leaving.

That this is a second-string team playing a backup formation, with Sheaf, Wright, Grimes and EMC all to come, is phenomenal.

Another goal for each of our front two. Another clean sheet for our back five and GK. Our midfield three once again shutting everything down.

What a time this is. I'm on cloud 9!

Maybe. I think we’ve chopped and changed so much I’d keep playing everyone until they drop or the form does tbh

I remember one poster saying he doesn't really say anything of note and is a bit boring

The hate for him initially was so fucking ridiculous when you think back.

Thought that, we always seemed to make too many changes even after a win, can see what a run of games does, gonna be hard to bring the injured players and grimes in, you don’t want to change too much now,

There wasn't hate, just question marks over whether he'd be a good appointment, which were reasonable.

He's looking good so far, though. Long may it continue.

Eh. People said he is clueless. Doesn't care. Needs to be sacked cos it clearly won't work. Tactically undone by Barry fucking bannan looool

Just admit you were wrong rather than. Pretend it never happened.

Admit I was wrong?

I didn't say any of those things, and didn't lay any of the blame for the ropey early performances on him at all. I don't think anyone sensible did.

I said that I had my doubts he'd be a good appointment prior to him arriving, and I'll be very happy to be proved wrong on that in the long-term.
