What? Shep?

No - I’m sure he’s as genuine as they come.

Great advert for League 1 - lots of excitement, chances galore and a whole lot of passion on display. Gutted to not get anything from it.

We took a while to settle, but after a while, and certainly after we scored, we played some great football. When you consider that’s only Dan’s 3rd game, the difference in the way we played was pretty remarkable. Against Coventry, we looked comfortable on the ball for the first time in Christ knows how long (up until Lewie went off anyway) and players looked like they wanted the ball, but we created very few real chances. I missed Walsall because I’m plastic these days. Yesterday, we looked comfortable on the ball, played with a degree of swagger at times and created more chances than we have for the last few months combined. That degree of turnaround is incredible and I’m getting a bit of a crush on Mr McCiccie.

The results aren’t there yet, but they will come if we keep playing like that and we keep working to cut out the errors. Whether that’ll come in time to keep us up this season remains to be seen, but it all bodes well for the future.

I was disapointed how few fans stayed to applaud the team off at the end - the players are turning things round and could really do with the encouragement. You could tell they were dead on their feet and gutted when the final whistle went.

There are a whole load of positives to take from that game.


Thanks Brando - this so much serves as the State of the Nation speech for where we are at the moment

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry yesterday evening, like so many around me in the FC I was completely lost for words at full time, yet haven't enjoyed a performance so much all season. The tide has definitely turned, and we are certainly on the up

OFD Junior WhatsApped me at full time to say that we must surely be down, but I could genuinely replay that it's far, far from certain. From 30 good minutes against Cov to 60 great minutes yesterday, we are definitely stirring

If this is what Dan can do in three games I remain rose tintedly optimistic

Not giving up!

Going back to the formation - i bet RN was fuming as he asked Lewie to play at left CB for him and Lewie said no hahaha

Dan asks him and yeh why not

Brando as ever with a great post - we did look better and had Williams smashed it up filed rather than trying some sort of diving header / scuff we would have been fairly happy with a point

my biggest fear is we don't have time for the improvements to come and should we go down we WILL lose some of the players that Dan may start to get working well and we are back to square one !!!

We do have time. We're not likely to go out of business therefore we have time.

Think that may say more about Lewis than it does about RN TBF

Very much liking Brittain. Hope he will develop into a key player for us over the next few seasons.

Lewis Carroll? Lewis Hamilton? Louis XVI of France?
