It was a helluva pass to Caddis by Keshi, SuperHans. He and DJ are tremendous catalysts and make an ideal sub one for the other.
It may be a little random to single out Benda and Broadbent but I shall anyway!
I think Benda's confidence has grown to match his undoubted abilities and that confidence spreads throughout the defence.
Also, after his early season, personal uncertainties, it is really pleasing to see how effectively Tom Broadbent has slotted in as a very reliable "cover" defender.
All in all, our all star team is becoming a pretty mean one too.
Good shouts. Benda gives me as much confidence as Fods used too. Brilliant keeper. Felt sorry for Broadbent first half. Was obviously chosen by Scunthorpe as the one they'd allow to bring the ball out from the back and through no fault of his own had to go long more often than not. Was a bit disappointed that nobody really showed for the easy ball a lot of the time. Defensively he and REG looked secure. |

Lyden out for the season but signing a new deal
And a result of training on the AstroTurf with Wellens having another dig at the training situation. I don’t understand how anyone can’t agree that our own training ground is an absolute priority. |

A lot of our fans see it as a waste of money and money should be spent on the squad. |

Really good first few minutes and I thought we were going to hammer them but then we fizzled out. Lucky to be ahead at half time. Whole series of misplaced passes with Edmonds-Green the worst culprit. Grant as solid as ever but thought Caddis was the only player offering any real spark. Great header by Doyle.
Second half was much more convincing and in end we were comfortable winners.
Scunthorpe were poor. That was an excellent postponement.
Another good day for us. We are nearly there.

Thought the majority of our passes were about a yard short all evening - even those that reached their target. I winced more than once when it looked like a pass would get intercepted.
REG was guilty all night of misplaced passes but some great covering to balance it out.
For me, DJ has been off the boil for a few games now - maybe a rest is in order.
As has been said, Doughty was class all night, Broadbent didnt miss a thing and Fryers is so much better as a full back than CB.
Big shame about Lyden.

Great that Lyden has signed for next season. Suggests talks may have started with others - such as Isgrove and Anderson. Just get that training ground sorted! What’s the latest on it, does anybody know?

. I'm not disagreeing with your assessment, only watched about 45 yesterday, but early season it was completely the opposite! |

Pretty much as I see, however, over hit passes were in abundance as much as intercepted short short ones, maybe we ought to stop training in the wind tunnel now the better weather is nearly here? Caddis MOM for the DNA and I just shading Doughty. AG has or appears to have lost some sparkle recently though going off with a slight hammy may mean he has been carrying it for a while. Isgrove who I like is not the same as the early season Isgrove. Broadbean I’m pleased for, played well. |

I presume that the promise of one is one reason why Wellens signed a new contract. Someone rumouring Power may be off at the end of the season - with £12m in his arse pocket. Can’t see him going just yet and certainly not getting £12m for the club. |

Cants see Wellens committing to a long contract if the owner was planning to sell in a couple of months, sounds like another rumour with no substance. |

12 million!?!? I'm sure Power would piss himself laughing at that suggestion 😁... some things just aren't worth repeating mate😉 |
