Goldfinger x 2!!!!! Super pass from GA

Half way to my predicted score.

Bracegirdle-watch update: he's not TOO bad today. Hasn't got any players names wrong yet, and only once went off piste talking about what the seats in the Sirrel stand would be thinking if they gained consciousness, but Stall nudged him back on to the game.

Superb performance by Didzy, hope he can grab a hat-trick

Well that was very satisfying all round. McGoldrick on a different planet today.

Good to a man across the park.

Just need to tighten up when we lose the ball centrally and watch their movement up front, especially with balls from deep and we will be fine.

It would be nice for us to really come out in the second and go for them.

Austin continues to impress. He's really stepped up in the last month or so.

We're a little sloppy, but don't think Swindon are a Walsall.

I like DBG, but he was chanelling Philomena Cunk there. 'Stall do you ever think what inanimate objects like empty seats are thinking?' Stall "No, I don't think about what empty seats are thinking'

I agree.. been a number of sloppy moments but still comfortably the better side.

We have not created as many chances today as some games but what we have done is when we?ve have them we have been clinical and taken them when they have presented themselves. There was one chance in the first few minutes from Didzy that hit the post which signalled what was to come. He has been class and quality today. I hope he can go on and get his hatrick which might be his first for the club if he does?

Great ball by Abbott for Didzy?s second goal. He gets better and better every week. Agreed with posters who have mentioned Austin. I think in the past five games he has really grown and proven to be a capable league two player.

For me today it?s just about getting the three points. It?s been a tough five games over the Christmas and New Year period so not expecting an intense second half. A third goal would kill the game dead.
