Yeah, really enjoyed it.
Remember his debut vs Bournemouth. We hadn’t won a game after getting promoted. I think Richie Humphreys scored our first. Guy came on and nailed it.
Used to have a video of that game at Burnley, but when VHS went the way of the dinosaurs I lost it. Would love to see the goals from that game again. And Perez’s heroics!

Who said anything about luck?
The team was woeful in those games (and others) so we deserved Jack Shit.
Loft on his own is a grazing donkey. Loft supported by another striker is effective. A defence with Cordner and Bedeau in the centre leaked goals. A defence with Manny plus Taft/McGahey can keep three clean sheets in a row.
A midfield with Karacan in it gives Eisa and Gilliead more freedom to attack.
Cox tan take credit for this, but it shouldn’t have taken 20+ games to figure it out.

I will say this quietly as I will get shot down! but it appears mr Swann has finally let the manager get on with his job and things appear to be moving forward.
Personally I don’t think it was a case of Cox not being able to get on with his job, more the problem he had as a rookie manager trying to do something with the lucky-bag of players Swann gave him.
Some weren’t good enough to compete at this level. Others thought they were too good. Then there were stalwarts carrying long term injuries.
It’s taken several months and a couple of key signings to make us a competitive team. Too long IMO.
But, yes. A great week.

Speaking of big Guy.
Podcast with Ipoua was most enjoyable. Well done Bru!

He’s got the use of five subs and it’s possible to rotate Beestin/Spence/Karacan and Eisa/Green/Hippolyte.
If he manages his team properly it’s do-able.

If you want to be ridiculous we are only 12 points off automatic promotion.
That’ll be the twelve points we gifted to Stevenage, Southend, Barrow and the Cods!

John McAttee is 21 and he’s retired!

BTW The week ahead is also the last full week of the transfer window.
Just saying like!

Too true!
Let’s not forget those liverless Cods beat us at their place, as did Barrow, Stevenage and Southend.
If we’d flipped those results, which we could have done with a bit of application, we’d be sat comfortably.

We’d be in the playoffs if we hadn’t gifted points to teams worse than us!
