    Well done the youngsters!
    Well played Rory – again.
    One point off playoffs.
    (Thanks Trev – pen looked dodgy but didn’t once fall for player cheating.)
    Well done Hippo.
    Best we’ve seen from Rowe, IMHO.
    Beautiful defending.

    Have to give credit to Watson, he’s looked a lot more solid so far this season! Hope he keeps it up.

    Centre backs looked strong. We should be much better offensively when Loft, Scrimshaw, Bunn and Perry come back into team.

    Still a long way to go, and I’m uneasy about gifting so much possession to the opposition, and their wide players were getting far too many crosses into the box, but I am definitely feeling more cheerful about our prospects for the season. Good to see Cox blooding the youngsters (okay, he didn’t have much choice) and good to see us actually creating a few chances. I don’t think it was a penalty, but we suffered a few dodgy penalties against us last season, so we were due a bit of luck. Let’s hope that win kick-starts our season now!

    But Swann is still at the helm Les, and it is only the first win in sixteen games, let’s not get carried away just yet,but definitely more positive.

    But it was sooo bad from the players last year, AWG, that it is quite a relief to see a group of lads with some real guts and determination. They look to be wearing the shirt with pride. That really does my heart good.
    Credit to you there, Neil!

    Good to see Jarvis. Not hugely effective but he worked hard and has been out for almost a year. He looks as if he has filled out a bit since last season and wasn’t afraid to let people bounce off him.

    Could be a very different – and almost certainly – a stronger side by the next game.

    We lack quality but make up for a lot with work rate, passion and sheer determination. The only downer for me was not finishing chances but the guys worked hard to create them which is a big positive. Deffo pen for me les, arm raised when no need, well played ref on that one and well done all the players in general for just keeping battling on for the whole game. Fair play to Cox he has instilled a great attitude in these players and when injuries clear up we should be ok. Still need another striker but the defence is spot on for me, well done guys 👏👏👏

    Can’t say about last year Les, But for the team we’re having to put out we’re doing ok, and the goal celebration at Walsall showed the players are there for each other and the fans.

    Looks like Perry & Scrimshaw isolating then. Could be worse, we could be Tranmere, 73% possession and no shots on target. Although 27% possession in a home game is not something I want to see very often (or ever again)

    Very committed display today. Thought Thompson and Rowe were excellent and Onoraise always controlled his man.

    Jarvis did put a shift in but he does lack quality and when you lack quality all you can ask is to put that shift in.

    Green still looks off it and several times he had the opportunity to burn his man but just didn’t have the legs.

    O’Neil was awful and I may have to apologise to George Miller for the comparison.

    The defence looks solid and if we could get a bit of quality up front we should be mid table come season end. A decent striker it would’ve been 3-0 but the most pleasing aspect about today was one simple thing…….

    it was entertaining

    So true about the possession Tash but if that game had finished in a 5-0 win it would have been fairer on the chances created and that with so little possession. We’ve had much more of the ball in the past and not managed to create anything. M.O.M. was Joe Murphy by a country mile.

    They had more possession but it didn’t seem like it and they never looked like scoring and we could have had 5, unless we were playing in White.

    This is so true Awaywego, it has been a very long wait since the last win!!, sixteen long matches since a win, and failed to score a goal in eleven of them, so a 1-0 home win is not really a sign of things to come is it.

    I am really pleased to see the lads win today, and hope for a few more, but being honest, I am not really missing my treck to GP, and still feel that it is not value for money, and enjoy not feeling that enjoyment is no longer on offer after 70 long years when I just turned up for every match when available to me.

    If Rowe is ousted from the RB slot for Pugh after that performance then Cox needs lynching. Criminal playing Pugh there when Rowe’s here, least that’s his natural position. Top performance that from him today, best while he’s been here by quite some distance.

    Suspect 1 of Scrimshaw or Perry is the positive Covid case and the other is isolating.

    A perfectly reasonable, well-adjusted comment.
