11 goals we have seen at Fortress Broadfield in a week.

We went from rock bottom on Tuesday to top notch today.

We were brilliant.

Full credit to Deano, the team, the board, the groundstaff and the fans.

It's a team effort and we all played our part.

Even Paul Groves must take some credit surely Very Happy

Come on lads, credit, where, it's due Wink

I want to get carried away, but so far we have had a total inability to build on a previous good result.
So, Swindon away.Not one of our most favoured fixtures.....a draw would be a great result.

What may be interesting to some, we have not had a corner for two games!

We rode our luck during the first half and then scored a great goal to go in at half time winning.We came out in the second half full of confidence .It was the first time I can remember seeing the players all click together rather then looking like a lost group of individuals wandering haplasly around the pitch.We finished the match with a swagger and when the hell did that last happen.
Special mention for Ward,Fowler and Progba.I just feel these three players were our spine today which made everything else click into place.

Who was the man who was presented at half time and spoke on the mic ?

I missed his introduction and could not see him close enough from where I was.

Fowler or Smith - tough call. Laughing

No disrespect to Fowler, but steaming *beep* or Smith? No POINT asking the question!!

Joey Deacon would offer more than the uber tanned strutting peaCOCK!!!

Can't add too much that hasn't already been said but I think today's game was won in the exact same place we have lost so many previously, in the midfield.

Fowler was great, simple little passes, switching play when needed and picking out Pogba as a target man at the right time. I know Mcleod got three but Fowler was my MOM. Great free kick delivery as well.

Defence was better without our Captain in charge.Thought Bradley played really well and Ward has been a good signing.

Couple of really hard games so hopefully we can start to build something. Biggest lesson to be learnt must be not to sit back and try to defend, that stopped a clean sheet today and when we went back to pressuring the other team we made more headway again.

It was Micky Turner, no one around me knew who he was, even me as a JCL recognised him.

So where are those 6 wins coming from? Colchester away, Orient and gillingham home. Crewe away, notts county and Coventry home. The rest is a bonus!

Obviously none of us expected Lee Fowler to come in and transform our midfield, but that's exactly what he's done!

So refreshing to see a Crawley Town midfielder comfortable in possession and able to pick a pass. If Josh Simpson returns to fitness I think those two would be an excellent pairing, presuming Fowler keeps his form up.

Swindon away is a game we're expected to lose so no reason why we cant go there full of confidence and have a go at them.
