Just back.

Football eh?

Last week we lose to the current worst team in the EFL and this week we thrash the current best team in the league above. Couldn't be any more different.

We gave them too much respect for about 5 mins, by which time they were 1-0 up from a shot that surprised me when it went in, but after that, we took the game to them and just put them to the sword.

Kiernan and Clifton especially were magnificent first half and caused them all sorts of problems. Clifton was absolutely superb for the first 45 mins.The two goals Kiernan scored were fantastic, but the second one was worth the entrance fee alone.

I think them scoring early was part of their undoing and I think they felt it was going to be an easy afternoon, but once we got into them, they seemed to wilt and couldn't really get going again.

Fantastic performance.

Fantastic performance.

Hard to single out individuals on a day like today but there was terrific energy and Morris and Hunt looked very comfortable against a higher league midfield. In truth, our defence was rarely challenged meaning Glennon had one of his most effective games this season.

Great job lads, bring on another home draw.

Brilliant performance from every single player today, said a few weeks ago that we should let Kiernan play on the left hand side, he seemed to be a lot more comfortable when he got there today. Just hope we can play like that the rest of the season. UTM

Harry looked to be playing the McAtee role today and was very very good.

That’s two home games in a row that I’ve come home and feel like I’ve been thoroughly entertained. Absolutely outstanding first half after a really sloppy start.

I’ve been critical of Clifton before but some of his runs at their left back today were incredible. Kiernan did brilliantly in an unfamiliar role - by far his best performance for us. The defence looked solid after conceding a really poor goal and looking a bit wobbly until our equaliser.

Nice to see some flicks and trickery today amongst some really good footy. Thoroughly enjoyable. Now let’s do that again next Saturday in front of a big crowd!

So we thrash the League One leaders 5-1 and Donny lose at home to Kings Lynn . What does that tell you about our prospects next Saturday .Probably the name of todays completion minus the word Cup..Sometines football is very difficult to understand.

Woke up with zero expectations from today's game.
Went to the pub with zero expectations.
Saw the team sheets from both sides...zero expectations.
Chatted to some away fans on the way to the ground ...zero expectations.
1-0 down inside 5 mins..zero expectations.

Fck me what a turn up.  Hurst fantastic choice of formation, set up shape. Players in every single position better than their opposite number. Superb effort, performance, shift etc.

Can't heap enough plaudits onto the team today.

Apart from the first five minutes, a totally one sided affair. For 40 minutes of the first half Town were outstanding. One of the standout performances of my 35 years supporting The Mariners. At times we tore them apart and Clifton was key to this (There will be managers higher up the leagues taking note). When teams allow us to play with freedom and on the deck, we take some beating. Its when teams close up shop and try to stifle our football, that we seem to struggle. After the third goal Plymouth looked shell shocked and capitulated. Town played like a team possessed. So, so proud of the team today. Also great support, after a couple of disappointing results and personal finances as they are, great to see a good crowd. Loyalty rewarded with a day to remember. UTMM!!

Probably our best performance of the season and at the time of posting not even one full page of comments. Three of our goals were sublime for different reasons and in all honesty we could have scored eight if not for goal line clearances and a few wrong choices in great attacking positions.

Never been Clifton’s biggest fan but today he was superb and showed that playing him on the right hand side where he can naturally play passes and crosses is the way forward.

Great entertainment great result and hopefully Sheffield Wednesday next round.
