Come on boys, time to bounce back and end the recent blip in form.

Job done!

Win our game in hand and we go second, but would remain a point behind Crewe: that disappointing draw against them looking important.

Ahead of Cooper’s mob after they bottled a 2-0 lead.

Commentators saying the side is showing definite SC characteristics. awesome form - a gap now between the top 6 and the rest.

A good game. We were the better side and should have put the game to bed a bit earlier than we did. Still, 3 more points towards our destiny

As I said after the Bradford match you can tell my the demeanour of the players after they score and during post-match celebrations when they know they are a top side and focused on winning.

Surely even the Nest pessimists will have to start accepting we are in the promotion selection now and play offs is the minimum we should be satisfied with.

Walsall were poor and reminded me of ourselves the first couple of seasons back in the league. We were not at our best today but looked a couple of levels above them and should have made it more comfortable than it was.

As for promotion we will very likely be in the mix along with Crewe, Swindon and probably Bradford.

Exeter too. I wouldn’t fancy any of them in the play offs so top three is vital.

In the first 2-3 mins of the game I noticed a young girl crying at the top of the stand behind the goal, and then another young girl looked to be kicked out after what looked like a scuffle .. anyone know what went on ? Was horrible to see this girl crying that’s all

Great away day. Good turnout by the fans and most of the block 7 lads making the trip made it feel like a home game. Must have been once of the queitest home crowds I have seen. It was a professional away performance we weren't at our best but still won the game relatively comfortably sign of a good team. Though Tozer was excellent and it's great to see Ince working his way back to fitness and getting on. Our bench is looking really strong especially with Reid not far from being back in contention.

Niggling hamstring injury back at Hull trying to work out the problem according to Mike Duff.

I saw that presumably there was some sort of cat fight going on, unusual for girls to be fighting though. Other than that I have to say our fans were a credit to the club yesterday, a decent atmosphere (for a change) at an away game, no bickering and everyone singing as they left the ground too. Whisper it quietly but the feel good factor is starting to return after a long hiatus.

Absolute scenes when Vardy scored.

Look at the reaction behind the goal!

Reminiscent of the Champions season under Gary, or Wycombe under Wardy, and obvious Cotts’ key away wins before that.

Can’t wait for the next away game I can make it to. Guiseley away with the Champions was the last time I remember scenes.
