The form will turn, that's for sure - but let's certainly enjoy it whilst it lasts.

Back in Saughall Towers now.
Bullishness definitely rising but you're correct Marple 👍
I, for one, am definitely enjoying it! 😉

Come on you Supers! 🏆 🥇 🇦🇹🍷

is the play-offs and third round of the FA cup too much to wish for?

[oneedham]

That was such a good performance.
Amaluzor second half was unplayable at times.
Need to sign Ross and Newby, both very good.
We picked up all the second balls and outstanding press for the entire 90.
Keep going boys.
Wouldn't be risking any of the starting 11 on Tuesday.

I wish for that every year.

I feel another “Perfect away performance” speech from Parky’s interview. “2 goals, clean sheet, job done! Let’s go home!”

Superb performance, shame about the away end facilities. We were lucky to have a toilet.

I can't think of anything better

A lot of people on here feel we should never divert from our usual 4-2-3-1 formation but we won that today with the three centre backs. So is it time to admit that formation can be a good option for us?

Tough train trip meant I got to the ground about ten to three. I headed for the gates we have used in recent visits to find them shut. A bloke inside the fencing told me the away gate was further down the road. It wasn't.

Made my way back to the main entrance, no signs nothing. I asked a steward who told me the correct way round. There was a sign there to be fair.

I couldn't see anything about turnstiles and stands for away fans in tickets etc. Did I miss something?

Made it just in time for ko.

The wind spoilt the game in the first half, nothing to note bar the ref going off and then hitting the bar. Second half though, we were a very different gravy indeed. They had no threat up front, we snuffled everything out and took two of our four good chances.

Well.done to the 100 or so Alt y who travelled to the leagues most depressing ground.

Only if we have three attacking players and not three CMs.
Two of attacking players being quick, to get us up the pitch.
Both Newby and Amaluzor were excellent yesterday.
Still think for 98% of the games we play 4-2-3-1.

Agreed, I think it's about having the correct personnel to pull it off effectively - not least in the defence of course.

I'm glad Parky has finally seen sense regarding playing James Jones in the middle - thus playing to his strength in the air, and not to his weakness being taken on - which of course he's so much more exposed to when being deployed on the right hand side.

Jake Cooper's re-emergence has also obviously helped in this sense, in that I think we have a very obvious three when we need to use it.

And then of course you have the balance between the front three; having two strikers playing on the shoulder of the last man like we did with Linney and Hugill absolutely didn't work, whereas having wiling runners like Amaluzor and Newby starting deeper and running at them does.

Great win yesterday , seven unbeaten now , you can see the confidence building within the squad .

Can't copy 'n paste the link, dunno why.

Seems like the geordie commentators felt they were pretty hard done by. Not to worry eh?
