After our win at Rochdale on Saturday.....................

[dannypav]

Been down after the last weeks results , and the obvious reaction on here last night and today.
So in order to redress the balance slightly and introduce a bit of a positive slant during these dark days , I thought I would start this one based on our 3-0 away win at Rochdale on Saturday.

Wow , what a performance.
Full of energy , crisp passing and great goals.
The whole team played well and with the other results going in our favour , we are right back in the play off hunt now.
Great to see Freddy score again and with Gavin and Britt also finding the net again in an attacking front three , we really looked the business today.
Smith was back and plucked everything out of the air with ease , making it an easy ride for Cresswell and Mohsni at the back.
I felt quite sorry for their right winger.
Getting subbed in the first half can't be good , but he got absolutely no change from Starker today.
Onwards and upwards , with a second Wembley appearance this season now back on the cards.
COYB !

No more unlikey than our win at Port Vale. And Rotherham are fairly likely to lose their game and then we'd be 3 points off 7th. Fat Lady may not have sung yet....

Quite believable until you mention Smith

Read into this what you will, but I've just seen Hatty Jacques gargling with listerene and practising her scale.

Now come on , I said this was a positive thread ( a bit fanciful maybe , but positive all the same ).
I will have no negativity on my thread please.

Being dead for more than 30 years , I would assume she would have lost a bit of that weight though ??

she is wise to limber up but its possible she may spit the listerene out and storm the pitch when she sees us go up!

Dammit, I was planning to start a very similar thread!

In all seriousness I think we'll win comfortably on Saturday. Playing away from home after three dismal results at the Hall will be a welcome change of scenery and I think the team will play with a lot more freedom. With Tomlin back (more or less) and Laird getting stronger alongside Mefeelingtired hopefully results will pick up again.

Kris , you are very welcome to share my thread.

To be fair to Paul Clark , he did say when commentating on BBC Essex before the Port Vale game , that he predicted we would beat Port Vale away + not win any of our "easy" 3 home matches......

All hail the Viking

In all fairness to PC a lot of us weren't expecting much from those home games either!

I genuinely fancy us at Rochdale though.

The best I've seen us play this season was in a 4-3-3. If Tomlin, Britt and Eastwood can work well together as a front 3 with Reeves, Laird and Hurst running the midfield behind them then we just might be good for the 3 points!
