Tuesdays match was similar to the kind of home win we used to enjoy under Jamie Day. It was by no means a fluent attacking display but our 4-5-1 was disciplined and organised defensivley and we took our chances. The second goal was crucial.

Ricky Wellard was much improved in his central attacking midfield role. I would like to see him get in the box more when we have the ball in wide positions.  

The most pleasing aspect was our attacking set pieces where we looked much more dangerous. If we can cut out the offsides from the free kicks then even better!

Halifax only have a caretaker in charge but apparently they were much improved on Tuesday night in their home drawn with Gateshead so we must not be complacent.

Lets hope the lads are confident, play positivity and we all get right behind them.

COYW!

As the saying goes, insanity is making the same mistakes and expecting different results. Changes are needed, and for me, that needs to be at least three players, at least, out urgently, and fresh faces in. If the management cannot, or will not, do that, then they should be shown the door.

Yes I think you are right a managerial change is needed, otherwise we are down .I would like to think otherwise but with no threat up front and a lack of experienced players on the pitch at this level we stand no chance of changing games, I know we have no money but we could do a lot better than this

So who wants a change of management team now? I thought Porter deserved man of the match today. He's been desperately unlucky not to have scored but it will come.

Very strange to highlight negatives after a good win Andrew. As much as some might be quick to moan about negative posts on here, I guess it shows that sometimes those critical of others are guilty of the same thing themselves as well, which makes them hypocrites in my eyes. We all have our positive and negative moments.

Three great results, but three great performances? three sets of team selection, tactics and subs that were sensible/positive/wise? For me, no.

So given you have taken the lead I will respond. Three good results doesn't mean three good performances, any more than three losses should automatically mean a sacking. If that were the case Mourinho would be looking for a job about now, and Pardew and Bilic would be getting Knighthoods.

Faz is a good man, and a positive person. His management team are very good, Paul Barnes is a great coach and Matt Mc when I have spoken to him on many occasions is a very positive, intelligent, passionate guy. However, I have watched every game but one this season, friendlies included, and seen two training sessions. I have no doubts that the management team are doing their best, as are the players. However, to be blunt, and to answer your question, do I want a change of management team? Yes. Three wins in a row is a fantastic set of results, but the fact remains we have players on contract that shouldn't be, and our tactics and changes in-game are still poor in my eyes. Of course all will not agree, but that is how I feel. Given many close to the club and in regular contact with the owners, directors and management team have commented that Faz was in "the last chance saloon" recently I assume the opinion of the powers that be is the same.

As for my previous comment about three players out, I would assume the non-use, and recent attempts to loan out, of Femi and Tash back that up.

A good result today, and recently, and I am positive we are moving in the right direction, however, I don't think anyone would have predicted this set of recent results 10 days ago, and resting on our laurels and stopping wanting the best of the club on and off the field shouldn't be discouraged.

 I highlighted the negativity of others, not the negatives. I'm sure you'll agree there's a very obvious difference and as for hypocrisy well I'll leave that to those who are quick to call supporters trolls. I think we are moving in the right direction as a team. Yes we could do with a 20 goal a season striker but there aren't many of those out there on our budget. As I've said before we are punching above our weight and so I'll take these three victories. As for not predicting the last three results, maybe that highlights why people ought to be a little more restrained before calling for a change of manager so quickly.

 Yep, what a difference a week makes...

Another valuable three points and a clean sheet as well. We seem to finally be getting a bit of fortune with a couple of goalkeeping errors of late (and more importantly we are taking advantage of these errors) I still can't believe that we came in at half time 2 up when we were off the pace and second best for most of the first half. Congrats to Faz and Co for turning the form around but I hope that they still realise that there is room for improvement at both ends of the pitch.

One thing that concerns me going forward is the treatment of Kabba by the officials. The business from the Tranmere game doesn't exactly endear him to the officials and there were a couple of occasions in the first half on Saturday where he was clearly fouled and yet the decision went the other way?! I fear he could become a marked man by the officials in this league...

What happens if he gets chopped down in the area - do the officials give the obvious penalty or do they think twice based on the player concerned and what has happened in the past. It should of course be the former but I fear it might end up being the latter....??
