I don't know. Whilst 1-0 or 2-0 is great, it also has the feeling of being a bit routine. Nothing beats the feeling of winning 3-2 having been 2-0 down. Of course 3-2 wins like that come with their own nervous emotional rollercoaster. And I am in no way advocating going 2-0 down in the hopes of getting an exciting 3-2 win, as that of course brings it's own dangers. But it isn't automatically true that a low-scoring 1-0 or 2-0 win is better than a high-scoring. Personally I prefer a big win with a clean sheet, 4-0, 5-0, 6-0, or even more. 🙂 I’d genuinely we rather win 1-0 more often than 4/5/6-0. A big win and the game is usually dead after an hour and just counting down to the end. Give me a tight 1-0, such as Spennymoor at home, over a 6-0 at Chester any day. The occasional big win is great, but a 1-0 is my favourite. I don't know. I enjoy laughing at the opposition. I enjoy seeing how many more we can score. I enjoy seeing our goal difference improve. I enjoy the frivolous, almost pre-season friendly-like feeling of being 5-0 up with 30 minutes to go, knowing that virtually no matter what happens for the last half hour we're pretty much guaranteed to win, and everyone in the ground can just relax and bask in the win, players, fans, manager. I would have zero problem if we won every game 6-0 this season. Winning every game would be nervous hell. No matter how often we won 1-0 in quick succession that nervous feeling that we're about to muck it up would be there every game for 90 minutes.

Imwould normally agree with you Impy, however, there are exceptions that prove the rule ..., under JG first time rounds there were games when 1-0 was easy. Peterborough away being the obvious one. Bossed it all game. Never in doubt.

Bossed it all game. Never in doubt. Possibly, although there's always the one blooper element to it. Ruminatng on it though, all scorelines resulting in a win are good, for different reasons. Variety is key. Be it a 1-0 where you've scored early and defended well all game. A 1-0 where you make the breakthrough late on, like v Boston when their keeper went into Benny Hill mode. A fairly routine clean sheet win at 2-0 or 3-0. A 2-1 where you score a late winner or hold off a come back. 3-2 where you come from 2 down. A topsy turvy 4-3, 5-4, 4-2, where you manage to outside the opposition, take the lead several times, come from behind several times, and/or get that vital winning goal. Or a frivolous 5-0 or 6-0. They're all good, as variety is the spice of life. But my general preference is towards fewer or no goals for them, and lots of goals for us. Makes most games less nervy and much more enjoyable for me.

Big scores inspire confidence in the team and show the scorers that they are getting it right. Going through a game to the end with County winning 1-0 is the most soul-destroying event that I know. Like the Chesterfield game... there is that feeling they are going to score rather than us get a second (the longer the game goes on). There is nothing more cheering than County going in at half-time wining 3-0.

Plus, and most importantly, the title is the priority and it could come down to goal difference.

it is, however you know what the second half will bring. just 45 minutes of containing the opposition where the game ends up like a poor pre season friendly. then you end up going a few minutes early or in the present world you just swith the game off.

On that subject, I could see us being in the market for a new keeper at some point. Not a knock on Ben as such, just that with the financial clout we've got, could see Jim seeing it as a position that could be upgraded. ben has always produced really top saves but has mistakes in him. he seems to thrive on work when the team is up against it. the errors seem to crop up when he has a uiet game. know a lot will not like it as he has been a fixture in the side for a few seasons now. however time does not stand still and if we can find someone better then so be it.

The occasional high scoring ding dong (which we eventually win) is welcomed as the occasional change for variety’s sake.

Not so sure it is concentration Timbers. He had v. Little to do first half on Saturday then produced an excellent save in a one on one. He not only narrowed the angle well, but showed sharp reflexes to stick out his boot. He is v. Good at one on ones. Think he is less good at shots from just outside the edge of the box. if we find somebody better, of course they will be in. That goes for all the players.

Who knows these days...always best to be at the top of all scenarios in the current climate. If PPG gets used it will be instead of points won't it? GD will surely still be the second most important thing if level on PPG.
