My first live game since Tranmere. I don't know what all the negative fuss has been about 😁 Welcome back! The missing piece of the jigsaw.

I definitely picked the wrong weekend to come home. That ducking weather and the dreadful trip home from Morecambe and to cap it all my mam has been in hospital here all week.
That was a good way to end what has been a pretty crap week for me.

Flippin eck that was something special, Croasdale in that advanced role and Camps sitting deep brought the best out of the whole team, what s player and leader Paddy is. We've struggled to accommodate Croasdale and Camps in the same team. If they play in the same team, that's the way to do it! And that was definitely Paddy the leader at his best. All helped by the fact that Sutton were dire - I've never seen such a poor performance in the FL. Nevertheless, brilliant performance today.

Thought Byrne was exceptional today. Handled the big limp they had up front and progressed the ball pretty well.
Camps had an excellent first half and Croasdale made some brilliant late runs into the box.
I liked the fact we were looking for cut backs today rather than aimlessly swinging it into the box all the time.
Will be a cracker against a porous Notts County side. First home game I am missing this season. Arghhh!!

PS. They were a big team but never got close enough to us to be able to bully us. We just played it round them. Exceptional performance.

The first proper time we've come into contact with the Spanish medical system and we have to say, we've been impressed. We've learned a lot too so.............

Everyone was exceptional today, but particular highlights are Knoyle, Byrne, Croasdale and Camps - ignoring Paddy’s hat-trick obviously! Byrne did a fantastic job of bringing the ball forward and creating space a la Akil Wright. Knoyle is a brilliant player and not a downgrade whatsoever in terms of a replacement for Macca. Big shame MSH is out for 3 months though. Croasdale showed us a completely different part of his game today. Where the hell did that come from!? Camps really coming good recently. He’s having the impact and control in midfield that I think a player of his ability should be doing. Seems to have loads of time on the ball and picks the right pass more often than not. Long may it continue. The perfect reaction to Wednesday. Same again, performance wise at least, against Notts please! Can't argue with any of that. Taken a while, but Camps is really starting to show what he can do. Down the right, I honestly think we're better when it's either of MSH or Knoyle, but not both.

I’ve got nothing to say that’s not already been said.
Fully expected a draw today with them sitting deep and us back to last seasons lump it approach. So so happy that they’ve gone out and made that statement. Loads to be taken in terms of confidence to help get us through the next few weeks.
I really wish there was a way to find out what DC and the staff did over the past 3 days, a very special bunch we have indeed.

We also needed a doctor in Spain recently (fortunately not for something mega serious). Have to say that the speed and quality of service was amazing (and that's not to have a pop at UK services).

As I said before the game, far better shape with wing backs. People knew their jobs and where people would be. The diamond only works with Collar Sarcevic and two runners up top.
