[Wandering Yellow]

Weird feeling, got the job done with if Brannagan and Moore are out, that hurts.

 

[battman]

Really feels like we've found a bit of momentum and also a way of playing effectively. The front three of Dale-Harris-Murphy will be crucial not just for the end of the season but also building the side for next season. Des in!

 

[Scotchegg]

Well, we are right back in it, huge credit to Des and team.

That's jinxed it!

 

[holdsteady]

Back to back 4-0 nils, against two sides who probably won’t be in this league next season but still we have put them away emphatically and given ourselves a chance. The injuries are a worry but we have a week for them to recover before 3 massive, tough home games in six days.

 

[Mad Dog]

Great win!

MASSIVE, HUGE credit to Des and the lads for turning things around so well in the last two games, and putting it back in our own hands again.

OK, some will say it's only Fleetwood and Burton, both awful relegation fodder, but the manner in which we've despatched them both is very encouraging.

Fingers crossed the injuries are nothing serious...

 

[MC Yellow]

The confidence coming on the back of two 4-0 wins will be so valuable.

 

[Common Villager]

Great result and two consecutive 4-0 wins at this stage of the season is great timing.

Next Saturday vs Peterborough is absolutely HUGE and has to be a sellout.

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

Murphy MOTM for the third game in a row - he was so much quicker than their right sided defenders it was embarrassing. He’s a level above this league when he plays like that. Applauded off by the Burton fans?

 

[Oxymoron]

Next Saturday vs Peterborough is absolutely HUGE and has to be a sellout.

Couldn't care if I'm the only one there- it needs to be a win!

That was me

 

[Oxford84]

That was me

Great call.

 

[WarwickOx]

Sparky was back on the pitch after the final whistle. That's got to be positive, right?

 

[Wandering Yellow]

The guy who does the "give me an O" chant is a legend, some voice on him.

 

[Andy1505]

Just on the A38 back. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon's viewing. Burton were truly rubbish but we can only beat what's in front of us, and we did it emphatically. Murphy far too good and quick, Sparky kept going despite a couple of misses, Dale battled away. Back four looked decent but always the fear of a cock up from someone, but the clean sheet is a bonus. We coped well without Cam, Josh was quiet but effective. Cummings dealt with most things and Henry was a real bonus, Tyler and Ruben weren't great.

Let's hope Cam and Elliott are ok, but a week off to prepare is good for us before what is a huge week.

Poor Crocombe....he truly had a bit of a mare!

COYY's!!️

 

[MateoCorbo'sTackle]

Terrific result. Burton were poor but we absolutely battered them and back to back 4-0's will be great for confidence.

Lincoln dropping points is the icing on top, I haven't seen the highlights but it looks as though they were fortunate (again) to even get a point today. We're absolutely in the driving seat.

I haven’t seen the highlights either but the stats are beginning to tell a story for Lincoln, every week. There are a couple of nuts loose on their wheels for sure.
It’s an opinion rather than fact, granted, but we are playing the best of all the 6th place chasers. I don’t think we’ll catch Barnsley.

John is a legend, his speaking voice is actually quite calm!

 

[Leysboy]

Not sure what to think with Murphy. He’s been a breathe of fresh air the last 5 games. Long May it continue.

There is clearly a player in there that’s beyond Lge 1.

Today we demolished a very poor Burton Albion side, that gifted a goal or two, but you still have to finish them, and we did. Likewise with Fleetwood. They both look doomed!!

It’s a pity we dropped 2 points at Shrewsbury, because they were there for the taking too. Nevertheless we are now back in the top six, and I honestly didn’t think we’d get back in there. Now it’s in our hands!! Amazing turn around for the team, and Des. Credit where it’s due, but we aren’t there yet.
