Great that. They were woeful but I’m really pleased with DC’s team selection today. Both Paddy and Tanto deserved to be dropped today but Paddy had the most potential upside being moved to partner Woots and it paid off big time. Much needed Got to be unchanged now but I would have thought Notts is a perfect game for Tanto with his pace vs a highline and one that always plays out. A very handy sub to have though especially with the other side tiring! I was thinking that about Tanto and Notts County’s backline as well. Maybe start Tanto and Madden and bring Wootton on in the second half? Or go for the same starting 11 and look to exploit Tanto’s pace in the last 30.

Rightfully dicked those today.
Being cynical. Where has that performance been?
You look forward and not backwards though.
Beat Notts and they don't catch us
Beat Barrow and they'll struggle.
Massive two games in the next 7 days.
6 points and we are in a position of needing disaster to let it slip.
Get 4 points from Bradford and Mansfield then it'd be hard to look past us.
MASSIVE two weeks this.

FFS Hate to say it but hes another injury prone player and has never lasted a full season for us. Richardson to stay all season as well now? Breaking a bone can happen to anyone at any time that has nothing to do with being injury prone. He has been injury prone but been getting a good run in the side this season and doing well for it. This is gutting. Three months best case As others have said before is it the boots players wear these days? Before Beckham and Rooney, no one had ever heard of a metatarsal. Get back to the hob-nails.

MASSIVE two weeks this. The next couple of weeks almost feel season defining. Which makes getting the 3 points today, and doing it in style, so crucial.

Get back to the hob-nails. You say 'these days' but both of those injuries you reference happened around 20 years ago. Boot technology has moved on leaps and bounds since players were running round in Dr Martens. They're a lot more lightweight which comes with its risks and its benefits. I bet if you ask a footballer what type of boots they'd prefer, they'd be wearing the same ones they're wearing now.

Going back to our last 8 for (8-1 v Carlisle 1955/6)
In that same season we beat Mansfield 7-2 and Tranmere 7-0 We won the last 5 games of the season with a combined score of 25-3 And only finished 7th in Div 3 North. We also played on Christmas Eve, Boxing Day, the 27th and New Years Eve

Knoyle was excellent today - as good as Croasdale and Madden, albeit goalless. Was really impressed with us not dropping a beat with the kids came on as subs too. I’m glad for Knoyle he’s been mixed this year but excellent today and perhaps he needs a steady run as a starter and glad that Byrne has come in he never lets anyone down. Everybody was fantastic today and such an important game after the uneven performances over last few weeks. Morecambe winning 5.0 away at Donny. We were a lot better than them last week

Needed a response today to Aldershot, and a slight dip; got one, rather than a negative reaction.

Massive congratulations to the lads, DC, and my lucky County mug. Did not see that coming . Wish the vidiprinter was still operating:
Stockport County 8 (EIGHT) Sutton 0
Just wish I'd been there, you lucky people!

Absolutely superb today to a man and that includes DC, playing Camps as the pivot with Crossy alongside Bailey was a masterstroke and Sutton just couldn’t pick him up.
Sutton though - that was a team that flat out downed tools after the 5th. Smith up front was an utter disgrace for a professional footballer and barely moved off the same spot second half until he was subbed.

I've just been looking at the League Two results on the BBC website - I don't know if it is just me with my County bias, but the 8-0 really seems to leap out at you. I am sure anyone scanning through today's results must do a bit of a double take when they get to ours (hang on, did I see that right!). To me, somehow it just hits home how exceptional the result is when you see it in print. Attachments:

Big chapeau to DC for today. It was clear that he was furious after Wednesday, and I guess Carrington was a bit lary on Thursday. There are ways to deal with this though, get it wrong (ten hag) and you risk everyone throwing their toys out. Get it right and you get a reaction like that. Absolutely superb. Putting Paddy up top with Wootton was also a winner and all round its a great day.
Thought Croasdale was absolutely immense today, no arguments about Paddy getting MOM but I bet even he thinks it was Croasdale. Everyone stepped up against a poor side but you can only beat what's in front of you and no one else sticks 8 past them. Mention for Camps. He has had some stick and seems constantly under some injury cloud, but was working on Wednesday and so watched when I got in and on tv closer perspective etc he does look a very tidy player although fades in games a bit. Thought he was very good today. Finally Tanto needed that goal and let's hope he has Christmas spree now.

The tone was set from minute 1 both on and off the pitch. Exactly what was needed. Players came out firing, fans were trying to help. Gr8 day

Highlights ITV4 9pm- 1035pm. Can't wait! Be interesting to see how much pressure Colchester’s OG came from, because apparently Wrexham did “really well” today according to their manager.
