I can’t believe Fleetwood are holding Plymouth 0-0 and Bolton 1-0 down at Wycombe. Sheff Wed now in front 3-2 v MK Dons

And Scotty Browns stats for his Fleetwood side are not too bad at Argyle.

They look the most likely League One Champions to me. They just don’t know when they’re beaten.

Could Terry Butcher be right with his 6-0 prediction.

Said before time the game would end in a 4 - 0 win for us but we should really try for further goals to improve any goal difference over other challengers.

Irritated that Sheffield W oveturned their half-time deficit but times like this maybe better to focus on own club objectives. Bolton could lose and Plymouth
drop points with it, maybe some have given up on any automatic promotion chance but those would be clear favorable scores if they remain as they are.

Sheffield Wednesday seem dead set for Top 2. I feel we are still in with a Shout if Plymouth continue to Falter.

And on another day, that is a massive issue. Today, it brushes things under the "4-0 win" carpet

it says 24,000 were in attendance today. Don't know, maybe expected more what with the Sir Robert 90 year anniversary and all. It's still a very good crowd but thought maybe a few more seating allocation would have been taken.

I got full-time score of 4 - 0. First and foremost we did what was needed. I expected to win but they were never going to lie down for us and allow us any victory. Other results were mixed, shame Derby and SWFC got victories but Plymouth and Bolton drop points. SWFC score five ?, didn't quite spot that.

all told, a very good score for us, valuable win, seemed we earned it, players redeemed themselves today after some recent poor scores, and back to third in league standings. Maybe we won't get automatic promotion but today showed once again we got certain attributes and when the team pulls together, results will come our way and belief and hope remains well and quite intact.

Well about time boys, good win, pity was not a few more for the GD.

Now we will go on a run and close down Plymouth, Sheffield Wed's are uncatchable as far as I'm concerned.

Good day for Town today. Comfortable reassuring win and Plymouth drop points and Bolton lose.

Can Town make up 8 points,on Plymouth by the end of the season? If they can win next week at MK while Plymouth falter at Peterborough, I'd say, yes they can!

All well said, Saint......, and let's hope it is not another Deja Vu 4-0 like Morecambe. The next game @ MKD will be very telling indeed. Has the manager learned anything from his sides decent reaction from the Brovers debacle. Must say, today's starting line up was very positive indeed. Not sure many would've had it any different.

Much better today but against them it should be, could well have been 8 but for the woodwork, keeper and couple of sitters missed but few complaints at a 4-0 win.

Results elsewhere went our way for a change and there's a glimmer of hope looking at Plymouths next 5 or 6 games..

Starting line up was ok apart from Ladapo should be in favour of Hirst, glad he got his goal with a brave header but then missed a sitter, as did Hirst. I thought Jackson was excellent when he came on and fair play to Luongo cus he looked pretty decent too.

You can speak for me on that Marko!

Good win. Its tough to gain much confidence against the league's bottom club, but it does make things a bit cheerier, as does Plymouth's failure. Hopefully that settles things a touch, and with our 3 most important strikers scoring, it may help more than it should!!
