Windsor
PL finish
I think we've made huge strides in last two games
Heart
Spirit
Better stamina
Very solid at back
They had lots of possession but hardly any chances

Clifton was great - vital we have a grafter in midfield

Lots of options

I think the squad shaping up nicely

Ollie done all of this before
Built promotion winning teams
Great balance in squad

I'm confident...

Quoted from cardiffmariner

Gibson is making a step up and doesn’t look out of place. I think his hold up and link up play is really good at times. He will come good and add goals too. No one from tonight deserves anything other than praise.

Spot on
Big step up
Was it Halesowen?
I've forgotten

I wonder if Olly has been a bit cute with the talk of how desperately fitness has detiorated during the fortnight off. We look a million miles ahead of where we were against Walsall to me.

I think it’s obvious all of our squad are prepared to work hard, and they all look like they care about putting a shift in.
Good to have numbers in depth with a high degree of changeability across the squad.

Really enjoyable watch tonight, no bad performances, and great to see us being so positive;

Macca - under intense pressure from crosses and long throws but never shirked a challenge even though he was being mauled on many occasions! Unreal save at 2-1

Hendrie - another great showing, with experience and positivity as well as a calm head

Preston - full of energy all game, this guy could have a big future

Waterfall - excellent leadership and commitment, yes their first goal was a blip but don’t think anyone told him he had a “man on”

Pollock - another great game and kept going despite cramp for about the last 20 mins

Ohman - gives you a heart attack when he goes to ground in the box!, but timed challenges well today and won lots in the air

Tilley - best game in a Town shirt, confident and threatening with his direct running in the first half

Clifton - so full or energy, a real box to box performance (Cunnington impressed)

Morton - grew in to the game, kept the ball well in the latter stages, could be a real asset after a few more games

Edwards - MOM (though not really fair to single just one out), totally unplayable at times, great goal and amazing levels of stamina

Gibson - ok, so he missed some sitters, but I like the look of this guy, I think I get why Ollie gave him a 3 year deal

Subs:

Idehen - another great prospect, a couple of hairy moments, but stood up to the late barrage

Windsor - shows some quality touches, gets stuck in with great energy, really pleased for him getting a goal

Hanson - showed what he brings to the Team, he gave us an “out” ball, and occupied multiple defenders leaving space for others

Lovely moment when Hanson was shuffling back onside, blowing out of his bottom, as Windsor steamed in for a great finish.

Great performance by town you feel Holloway making strides with the team, Gibson I hope he comes good but at the moment he's not good enough some of the chances he missed very poor.

I thought Clifton was excellent, Morton he's good passer off the ball and keeps things ticking over,  Edwards was 10 out of 10 fantastic performance, best performance from Tilley. Pollock very solid, Mckeown and Waterfall made a bit of a mess up for there goal, but Macca made some great saves.

Windsor came on very good finish.

Grimsby should of been out of site.

After 10 minutes?!

any link to Ollie's interview please?

Haven’t seen the game as went to watch Lincoln United but in relation to the comments on Gibson I would add that it’s great to have a front player who is in a position to score 3 or 4 goals in an away match. Have to be there to miss em as they say and I agree with the earlier comparison with Hearn’s early career with town in that other parts of his game are good and perhaps once he nets a couple he will be up and away.

Seems once everyone is fit we have a lot of different options and was that the smallest front three we’ve ever turned out?

In the last few years, under Slade, Bignot, and Jolley, when was the last time we had a front three? Leaving someone up when they have a corner?? What is Holloway thinking? Doesn't he know the stats of defending corners?
