Just got back (Notts), fantastic result and perhaps more importantly in my opinion, we played well. Got the ball down and played some really good stuff today. Both goals were well worked moves which were well put away. A real professional job today, found the pace of the game in the first 20 and then dictated play for most of the afternoon. I thought Wainwright (my MOTM) and Stanners had a good games, and both linked up well with Howe well all match. Twiss also put in a good shift, looking sharper every game and surely the magic is not too far away?
Chesterfield looked like an average side, but they didn't help themselves at all today. I don't think I've ever seen an opposing side get the game so wrong, continued long balls up to the front men were bread and butter for Jimbo and Artell. Its as if they wanted to play to our strengths, when if anything we usually look week when sides get the ball down and play it through the gaps. Actually Chesterfields goal (well taken I must add) came from about the only passage of play that Chesterfield got the ball down and attempted to play. The 40 'hollywood' pass was used far too often, and the simple ball often went begging. Roache had another assured game (despite a few pit dwellers shouting random crap in his direction) but in truth had little to do. 'Rico out' chants head at the end from the home fans, could we put another final nail in a managers coffin?
Anyway, I've focussed too much on Chesterfield there. We were good value for our win. The last three games I've seen I've enjoyed our style and play (Macc, Brad and Ches). Hopefully we can continue in this manner on Tuesday. We will win more than we lose playing like we did today.
Onwards and upwards.
