I thought we were excellent today and in all honesty could of scored 6 or 7

Whatever bbm has done with willock has worked a treat looks a different player these days

BBM is the real deal and he will get us promoted as long as the board give him what he wants, another 2 or 3 in over the next 36 hours of the quality of trott and osho then I can see us being very hard to stop

We played some excellent football again, but I think we are overplaying it in the box and sometimes getting in each other’s way as we really should have scored a few more. Salech’s form a little concerning, but on this showing we are going to be very hard to stop.

Superb performance against what was a tough opponent. After wintles goal the game was more open and we could have scored more. 4 nil against one of the bigger teams in the division is showing huge progress

BBM is showing his class as a coach using only young players and what has been left.

Signings like Trott show he knows a good player to buy hence why players are taking time to come in. Quality not quantity

Scrappy first half, but the game changed when Wintle scored and we were in control then.

16 points from a possible 18. Can't complain at that.

Great performance today.

It was pretty even before the goal but after that, only 1 team in it. We were that dominant it looked like a training game at times.

And at 4-0, still we harassed and still we pressed...love it.

Well done Bluebirds and well done BBM.

Not too concerned about Salech not scoring, the work he does in dragging defenders around making space for others is immense.

The fact that Salech isn't scoring is actually good in a way. We're top of the league before he's hit his stride.

At some point, he will start scoring and then won't stop. He's too good to not score at this level and it'll come soon.

Teams thought early on that Salech was out only outlet and think doubling up on him will stifle us.

They are finding out that won’t work. As the season goes on they will have to adapt and be will get more space and chances. Right now he’s making opportunities for others.

:laughing6: How far have we come? Disappointed because we only won four-nil, and the Striker didn't score.

Plymouth drew with Swansea away on Wednesday and had more shots on target. That was a good result; they are not a bad team. We wore them out first half and murdered them second half when they were knackered, and made it look easy.

Yes we missed some shots and passes that always happen when a team is 2,3,4 nil up as players all try and play and score, it's more or less attack practice at that stage.

He's also taking a battering from opposition defenders and getting no protection from referees at all.

He also gets free kicks given against him when giant centre halves fall down like they've been shot at the slightest touch.

Yes agree with that and Worcester’s comments below - but I think he needs a goal to calm him down. He seemed very frustrated today and with some of the refs in this league he could be a red card waiting to happen. Fingers crossed it won’t be long before he gets gpiing

No, I’m not disappointed at all. All opinions of course, but I wasn’t being critical. This is the best football we have played for years and long may it continue, but it doesn’t mean that there are aspects of our game that can’t be worked on. As for Salech he does a lot of the dirty work that allows us to play the way we are, but there were times today when he looked frustrated as he was taking up great positions but not getting the ball.

It's the best team performance I can remember for a long while.
I'm concerned about Salech though, he looks way off it!

Was expecting 1,000 more but they will come.
Went to a 60th party last night and a group of armchair fans who watched on the box were amazed how well they played. They’re all planning a day out for the next home game and they managed to drag in a bloke who’s never watched a footy match in his life.

I’ve managed to catch most games either on a tv or through the radio, and from what I’ve seen of Salech he’s doing fine and giving us the platform to play.

Let’s not forget, when we had a team that didn’t look like scoring, he was the one making it happen. Other teams are keeping him close and definitely roughing him up, but there’ll be a point where they’ll start drawing attention to our other players and if fed he will eat the goals up.

He’s been unlucky not to score, causes some decent saves at times or is just snatching at chances. Goals create confidence, I hope he grabs one soon and takes teams by the throat
