most satisfactory.

One of those games where 4-0 seems a bit flattering, but then again having that extra quality is the difference.

no complaints here. a good one to take us in to the tricky period

Three giant CB's might be ok to combat an aerial & physical threat, except that we don't really have one.
They looked threatening early on, but in the end were flushed away easily & thanks for the 6 points and two clean sheets.

Zakuani filled in very well and Iandolo did ok.

So 11 consecutive league games for Doyle.
Is that the club record, or one more needed?

Harry Morris did 11. Comes down to Vale away.

Pretty good! Second half was as expected really, Keshis hattrick a nice bonus. We did really well keeping them quiet after the first 10/15m  where they were really pressing, but lacked the quality in the final third.

Doughts played some really nice balls, if Doyle's the ginger Pele he's the Posh Pirlo, and Iandolo was also really good down the left. Came over and looked for a disabled kid afterwards to say hello, nice to see the squad taking the time after the game - led by Caddis of course.

Looking at the two it was obvious who the in form team was, and who the team shaping its of for league 1 football is. It's a tidy looking squad, if a tad oversized currently.

It feels like we're in a game of Football manager right now with the squad makeup and success, very odd feeling as a Town fan. AND I didn't hear "GET IT FORWARD!" once...

Top of the league, joint top of the home league table, top of the away league table, league 2 top goal scorers, top goal scorer and top goal difference. Pretty much top of every thing that matters!

I'm going today.

My last three games were 4-0, 3-1 and 3-0 victories.

I'm not taking all the credit though.

I blame you for that win!

Great result.  And pretty good results elsewhere.

Possibly being unrealistic here but I was a bit disappointed with the attendance.

Not a bad game, felt like we could always step up the extra gear when required. First time in The DRS for 3 years as usually in The TE. Can’t believe they still haven’t sorted out the ropey PA system in there!

I reckon there was more than 8.2k. Cambridge only bought the 0.2k  Grin

Assist/key touches from Woolery for 2nd, 3rd and 4th goal - he’s improved so much in the past two months.

It feels like Xmas 2012-13 - beating Tranmere & Portsmouth 5-0 in 10 days under PdC - where we have 8 players capable of creating a goal. Can just wear teams down from multiple positions

Wouldn’t like to see a good side attack us down their right side with Doughty, Iandolo and Zakuani covering that side. Lyden and Donohue (and Fyers and Hunt - what’s the news on them?) all to come back in though if needed so not a worry.

Caddis has been offered a deal until the end of the season which is mulling over. His family is back in Scotland though.

Power said we have to wait and see what parent clubs will do. Played his hand close to his chest but said Jewell has been tasked with lining up Plans Bs.
