A well deserved win. When was the last time we came from behind to win?
Despite the 95th min goal if we had gone on to lose it wouldn't have mattered. The performance was the most pleasing thing.
Apart from the first 20mins of the 2nd half they were 2nd best. Their best player was a forward called Proctor. Replaced by Nadine - remember him who hasn't changed 1 iota. Still looks disinterested whenever he pulls on a shirt.
Whereas some players are unrecognisible from when they played under NM. Potts is the big bonus so far. He changed the game last night. MOTM and is clearly enjoying his more forward role.
I think not having the boo boys on his back helps this lad.

McCallister is a leader. Can't wait to see his goal. We walk and pass it through them.
The overall fitness of the team.has improved dramatically. To see Potts McCallister Nolan Mellor all putting in a real shift over 120 mins shows what a difference having a dedicated post has made.
Slocombe looks very steady. I do like the way he throws it out quickly. He has a hell of a kick on him too (when it stays in play :grins: )
Bowyer is very unassuming. Rightly letting the players take the credit so far. I do like way he sets them up and can change the formation during a game. His Plan Bs look Plan A******* compared to NM.
So far so good.



 
The football is actually enjoyable.
Bowyer isn't bothered about possession. He is quite content yo let the other team have the ball, as pointed out on Sat don't be fooled by the stats.
Its attacking football.
Cain looked a tidy player although tired as the game went on. He is looking for the ball all the time. If I remember correctly he does the unlocking ball for our 3rd goal with a flick.
The only thing Im converned about is the injuries.

 
I liked the way that our fans got behind the manager, a long time since we heard the managers name sung followed by tangerine army..
 
First time in 3 managers.
I think Bowyers playing his own game and he is doing it well. The spell under the Venkys has undoubtedly helped him.
He's not getting involved in the politics. He's not being seen as to have taken sides. NM made his biggest mistake by not doing the same.
