Great forward play by Simms and Thomas-Asante but Jamie Allen has been excellent again. Can he play with Grimes because he certainly doesn't deserve to lose his place.

Watching Jodi Jones v Gillingham. He really is a class player. And a classy finish too from McGoldrich.

Can't think of many that haven't raised their game.

Can anybody remember the last time we have been linked with a player and signed them soon after? It seems to me, they either come out of nowhere (such as Bassette) or take forever to get over the line (and often not doing so).

I wonder whether they are discussing a new contract. I hope so. He does so much work off the ball and it is no surprise that we have looked more cohesive since he has come back. Interesting that despite not being in the team when he arrived, Lampard saw fit to give him the captaincy.

Thought it was interesting that for one corner in the first half, Latibeudiere looked to Bidwell for instruction on whether he should advance. Another corner first half, Allen looked at Bidwell, who again directed him where to go. On both occasions Bidwell stayed back whereas usually he would be...

The ability to make a save like that shows a special talent.

He certainly has improved his stamina and defensive ability since Lampard has come in. Trust matters a lot.

Super win. Lost a bit of control seconds half. Generally though, there has been a real shift in positive aggression over the last 4 games. Everyone now is up for it. Players, such as Simms looking happier. Torp and Rudoni were excellent and that save from the deflected shot from Dovin was unreal.

Really good half. Look threatening and creative. Like the way Thomas-Asante or Simms will drop into the space to collect the ball, enabling us to build better in the final third.

I am glad you put in Dougie McGuire! What might have been if not for glandular fever!

Can't fault Lampard's in-game tactics. Sakamoto and Eccles did well coming on and sured us up when we were looking stretched.

Latibeudiere manages big strikers really well. He uses his body well. If Thomas comes on, it would be for Binks imo

We did improve leading up to the goal but dire for first half an hour. We used to be a decent passing team. Our passing and hold up play has been so poor. Dovin again very good. Torp's defensive work has also been good. Allen coming into it as the half progressed. Pleased for Simms. Stayed alert...

Credit to Eustace. When I look at their individual players I am not particularly worried. However, he has them playing well as a unit. If we can keep the energy levels up that we have shown the last two games then we will give them a good game. Unless any fitness issues, I would start...

Subs have been poor lately. Can't remember the last time anyone has come on and made a positive impact. Eccles has been dreadful in his two cameos. I was also annoyed by Bassette letting players go by him without any pressure in the closing moments.

Disagree about Allen stepping with a contract in mind. I think he steps up every time he plays. Can never fault his endeavour. He leaves everything on the pitch.
