Absolutely, I thought our back 4 were excellent including Roughan now he’s LB and not LWB.
Only 15pts from the magical 50 and safety.

Since Draper is a forward and Mitchell is a defender, is Mitchell actually cockney rhyming slang for Haberdasher?

Well according to Flashscores we had 16 goal attempts to 8 and XG of 0.7 v 0.3. I doubt would have been the same under MK

It’s still just 2 wins (both away) in 14 games … and just 2 goals in the last 6 matches.

We are getting there. Against a top Bolton side a few minutes away from a draw playing with no front line. Wycombe away abysmal for 65mins and then we started to go forward a well deserved point. Derby with the new attacking philosophy with forwards available with better finishing should have beaten them. Today matched another top side and could easily come out the winners. Things are on the up. Let’s all get behind team things are on the up

I think what Norfolk is getting at is that, although performances have been much better the last two games, our record under Skoobs is no better than under MK.

But a corner has been turned

I agree....if we start scoring.

That's another thing they need to iron out.

I’ll answer that against the lesser sides in the upcoming couple of matches.

Happy with that, couldn't tell which side are going well at the top of the league and which haven't won since.....can't be bothered to check that far back.
The shape with Reeco in front of Roughan works so well for the latter and the balance of the side. Roughan must have said some Hail Mary's when that was implemented.
I was chatting with a Posh fan on the way out and he made an interesting point about their defence being set up differently and deeper, probably because Taylor was playing and they were fearful of his pace. If that's correct it shows that even though Taylor may not be having a great game, his mere threat can have a direct positive impact on a match which can help team mates in a meaningful way even if he can't take advantage of it personally.

It does feel like we have turned a corner, esp the last couple of games. I agree re Burton, we need a point at the very worst but I am hoping we go and make up for that terrible reverse SB horror show.

Performances or outcomes?

May be much more entertaining but the outcome is pretty much the same, not sure we've solved our goalscoring problems yet.

Funny, according to the Peterborough press only one team was trying to win that, we were content to sit and defend. Seems one of our few chances was when Hamilton, 'took time off from pulling shirts at set pieces, without getting punished, to send a weak sidefoot shot wide'.

I've seen more excitement in the last two games than I have for the last 2 years tbf.
