Ah yeah, takes me back to the heady days of my honeymoon.

Luckily enough, I had only booked the hotel room for half an hour, so job's a good un.

Win win.

Bakayoko may have been a donkey but he was our donkey. He was with us when we didn't have a pot to piss in and helped us to where we are now.

Some people seem to have forgotten how bad things got. If a player was worth a quid we sold them for 50p so we could buy a light bulb. Those without the ability but gave 100% are just as important as those who grew with us on our climb back up the football league.

We paid for him.

In L2 we totally paid £125,000 to loan Clarke-Harris.

Pretty expensive light bulb.

Ghana have qualified for the World Cup finals next year. That should be incentive enough for BTA to keep form

For BTA and Simms, last season was v much an anomaly in terms of their goal scoring. If you take 1 bad season, that can be forgiven so long they come back good the next season.

In the summer, despite the v many repetitive calls, we never needed to sign a striker.

They weren’t really anomalies. Thomas-Asante had a pretty average record even at Salford. Simms has really only had one other season to judge on

Realistically. 8-10 goals is a decent haul for any Championship player. It’s not groundbreaking, but solid.

There will be 10-20 players in the whole division who will surpass 10 goals in a given season. People seem to forget that.

To bring the conversation full circle, Haji was always going to be the main striker this season. Simms and BTA are better 2nd, 3rd choice options than most other teams.

I actually thought Bakayoko in the end, turned into a useful League 1 player

He was clearly way out of his depth in The Championship though

Good coaching? Confidence? Great to see though.
And that 2nd assist from Simms was superb!

Yes. Da silva, Torp, Kitching, Thomas, EMC etc.

It’s the Lampard effect!

Both of the above.

One of the many pleasing things about this start has been the number of goals we've had where there's been someone in the right place to batter it in from a few inches. That's coaching, and something we previously didn't;t get enough of.

The huge plus point tonight is his second finish. Really easy to mess that up with so much time. Sign of a good forward - which he is. The volley would have been cherry on the cake time. Swapped wings, plays loads of games, covers the whole front three. Very important player in this squad.

He’s unstoppable at the moment. Wouldn’t drop him at all and completely different player from last season. He’s made me, and many others, look a fool.

We’re the sort of clubs players are begging to join now. Quality football, top of the league and top class training that improves you as a player.

You can tell his confidence is absolutely soaring. There is no way the BTA of last season scores that 1-on-1 or even attempts that shot that hit the crossbar.

Long may it continue.

Might be first name on the team sheet right now for me. Even disregarding his goal scoring form the energy he brings is huge for our style of play. He’s winning the ball in midfield, playing it to our midfielders, then making the run from wide and half the time he ends up being the one who finishes the move too.

His finishing and end product prior to his recent run of form was also criticised when he was at West Brom.

Just looks full of confidence and playing without fear.

He missed a great chance just before his left foot volley onto the bar
New signing indeed

He does something that all forwards know they should do, but many don’t…he always follows up on shots in the hope that the keeper spills it or there will be a deflection his way.

Last night, away at Derby and I’m sure there’s one or two others this season like that.

He's not the only one who does it, look at Haji's goal at Sheff Wed where there were 3 of them to put the ball in & last night Simms was already moving in as BTA took a shot in 2nd half.

Might have been one of the best hattrick goals of all time!

Yes that was good goal. As he either scores tap ins ( 1 yard out) thinks he's about 3/4 of them or worldys.

So that was a bit different.
