THREE wins on the bounce?????
Permalink  
 

I'm feeling unusual! Optimistic, looking forward to home games instead of dreading them, enjoying the football again.

Early days yes but the Southend & Bury performances were excellent (forget Charlton but they're allowed one naff performance) & I'm starting to warm to Warne(s).

Walsall will be tough, a decent footballing side & in Erhun Oztumer have one of the divisions better forward players but we're good enough to beat them so COYR!!!

Looking forward to it, maybe a tad on the wet side looking at the forecast?

Yes I agree Brad, looking fwd to games is a nice feeling to have again :)

I'd like to see us conceding a few less though, we can't score 3 or 4 every game. UTM

Mattock starts, not a fan personally, I think we had fullback positions sorted without him, I hope it doesn't effect the result.

Really pleased for everyone that again we've scored 5, keep it going build the run but tough one on Saturday no doubt. Our goals for says 15 equal top in the division, but I'm sure we'll all be aware 10 of those came in 2 games. However we're scoring and that's the main thing. Score 3 or 4 and is doesn't matter if you let one in due to an error, yes the player & staff will have some work to do but it doesn't affect the result.

Great entertainment. Good to have that winning feeling again. I thought maybe the scoreline flattered us a little bit, but we were well worth the win, and on Saturday the scoreline could have been something similar. A bit sloppy defensively at times but not a night to be picky. Fair play to Warne and the staff and players - they've got something going on. Fine work all round.

What a fantastic first 30 minutes! Given a choice of watching us struggle in the Championship or seeing League 1 performances like tonight - there's no contest for me. In amongst all the great football played by the Millers there were some wasteful passes from Iheikwe and Williams which were unusual for them. Another sloppy defensive mistake gave them a glimmer of hope. However, that's being picky and overall it was another wonderful effort from Warne and his boys. Bit concerned over Moore's injury - wouldn't like to lose him for any length of time. Finally, do you think Rodak considers he's landed the plummest job in football? He's not had to make a save in anger for two whole matches!!

All 3 of Frecks goals good for their own reasons, 1st one though - did what Pringle didn't !

A word of praise for Mattock, he doesn't get many but he was superb tonight as were Vaulks, Taylor, Potter & obviously Frecks.
One happy bunny here.

First half the lads were terrific some excellent performances Frecks 1st goal one of the best at NYS, one or two problems at back but I reckon Wood is able to sort them out ,new keeper had nothing to do again ,only a couple of games into season but what we've seen standard of opponent's is a bit poor just want to try and bully us out of it but Warney has got a bit of steel in this side .UTM.

 Good to hear, as said I'm not a fan of Mattock, but very happy to change my mind if performances merit.

I've also been critical of Mattock in the past. For me he seems to have dips in his concentration levels during games. I have seen and heard a lot of praise for him for last night's performance. He certainly did well in the first half and is better than Purrington going forwards, but in the second I thought he dove in and got caught out more than once, and during their fifteen minute dominant spell it was down our left where they did it. So for me, to be fair not a bad performance and probably good enough for him to stay in for Saturday. A sort of seven out of ten. But I didn't see the superb (to use Brads description) performance that others seem to have witnessed.
