Great scenes in Healer's videos.

Also, looks to be a good number of younger fans. More than at away games I have been too recently. Wonder if they travelled up from Chelt or if exiles in Manchester/Liverpool. Either way, looks like a classic away trip.

Fantastic result last night especially after the disappointment of Saturday. Really pleasing to brush a team aside by putting so many goals past them particularly away from home

It shows how good Ian Randall is as his commentary on the radio exactly matched what was happening on the pitch.

Nice when the commentator actually commentates, rather than just fitting in updates every now and then around their stories or giving their opinions, isn't it.

That Holman nutmeg and shot *drooling purring smiley*.

makes me ask why are we struggling in the league when we (21st) can go to Crewe (6th) and win so convincingly

I believe that Crewe had a quite a few first team players missing / carrying injuries. At this level, this can cause the depth of a squad to be exposed and suddenly teams who were in good form put in a poor performances. In previous years, this could be covered by short term loans but not now. It is a consequence of the change in the rules regarding transfers.

We are only 5 points behind them. We could easily be above them in two games time.

Shows what a difference the odd 'unlucky' dropped point or injury/suspension can make.

In three meetings with Crewe this season they have looked poor. We easily beat them 2-0 in the first game, in the second we drew 1-1 but probably would have comfortably won were it not for the sending off, and then 1-4 in the third. I heard booing and chants for their manager to be sacked last night, with GJ saying he couldn't believe it, we could only wish we were where they are in the league. Their fans seem to think they're only where they are because of a bit of luck and teams not really turning up against them...

As I said in another thread, it's the Holman effect. First game he's started whilst fully fit this season and we score 4 goals, 3 of which were directly involving him.

I can still hear Ian Randall's immortal words from Nene Park ".......Its Boka...... Boka Freeman" etc etc

He's the best commentator I've heard in a lot of years of watching/listening to football.
