Another great result. The performances are average at the minute but that is to be expected with one of the lowest budgets in the league, we will never set the world on fire.

A very tasty game on Saturday, Notts County, the team that our better players last season decided to move too!!

Cracking result for Stevenage last night too. I don't think either us or Tranmere will be able to keep up this pace but time will tell.

This team keep on bettering my predictions.

Having taken 13 from a possible 15 away, it's disappointing we've only managed 7 from 15 at home against (on paper) easier opposition.

Tranmere 1st, Stevenage 2nd and Crawley 3rd. Happy days but as you have both have said "It ain't going to last"

I thought Crawley played OK yesterday but nothing special however I am pleased with a 3-1 win. The Bournemouth defence was terrible and I hate to think what Tranmere would do to it with their appetite for scoring at the moment. Tubbs got a warm reception from the Crawley fans which was good to see, rumour has it he may be making a return.

Highlight of the evening for me - Colchester beating Swindon at the County ground!!

Our next two games are Saturday away at Brentford which could be tough and Tuesday in the JPT away to errr Brentford which could be tough.

I hope Crawley do well now you've gotten rid of Evans. That man was such a complete tt.

I'm looking forward to a trip down to the Broadfield. Terraces for away fans are few and far between these days frown

How is Dannie Bulman doing for you guys at this level? I was always a fan of his when he played for us under Westley's first spell. Mark Stimson (Westley's replacement) wasn't a fan and he was soon shipped to you guys on loan IIRC. There are few players I've felt gutted to see go in my time, but Bully was one of them.

So the chanting at the Crawley/Bournemouth game last night was correct. Paul Groves has been sacked. Good luck to whoever takes it on next, they're going to need it.

Damned right, especially with that clown Eddie Mitchell hiring and firing. He's a liability - letting the (part)owner's wife (Russian) give half time team talks, abusing Mark Chapman on 5Live, shouting at the North Stand fans over the mic.

Basically it's all gone a bit tits up since Eddie Howe left for Burnley and more tits up since Lee Bradbury was fired. Mitchell seems to be employing steadily worse and worse managers and giving them no real backing.

I think we've got you next week, Andy. If it's the Yeovil that turned up today then you'll be in a game for sure but if it's the one that has just lost six in a row before today, you'll fill your boots.

Tranmere seem to be walzing away - goals scored looks pretty impressive too - will have to nobble Ronnie Moore in his Rotherham bar tomorrow night - they seem rather unbeatable at the moment - great win at NC today smile

Fairly solid win for us at home to Shorpe without really getting into our stride. Cracking goal by Tansey again.

Some good results for us as well so we're clear in second and yet our fans don't have a clue how. Our attendances our down and so many spend the game moaning at players?! It's incredible. I dread to think what our crowds will drop to when/if we ever do stop riding this wave of success.

Colchester away next week should be routine enough looking at their recent form, but then we have a very tough run of games that could see us drop down to where we're expected to be.

We are the only team to have scored in every game so far though biggrin

After ColU we have MK Dons. If we lose our unbeaten streak to them arse holes I will not be pleased.
