Brennan - fantastic movement all game, super assist and cracking finish, superb.
Mighten - good feet, super assist.
Ryan - several beautifully weighted defence splitting passes, I honestly didn’t know he had it in him, real quality today.
Grabban - Made a huge difference, still got it no doubt.
Cooper - Got the boys playing! Not the best team we will face this season but found himself a goal down and made some excellent decisions / subs to turn it around. Superb.
Dare I say it the rest of the season might be remotely enjoyable!!

Where's all the miserable f***s from the first half?
Only one team was going to win that game! :D

Mighten.... did more in a few mins tonight than in a season with CH.
lolley with some freedom looks like his old self
Grabban getting the supply is one thing but having runners for him to play the ball too helps immensely
Worrall and McKenna fooking brilliant
The fullbacks outstanding
Zinc busy as ever and has that little bit of quality... like lolley when he first arrived
Johnson was superb... needs to sign a new contract ASAP
The only negatives were figs and samba. Figs is an accident waiting to happen and can not be trusted. Give Soh a chance. Sambas distribution was as bad as it has ever been.
Happy tonight. Steve Cooper is a breath of fresh air I hope he gets backed in January.

My pessimism was around the fact that 1st half we were facing a clearly limited opposition but were still conspiring to lose, and I suspect would have lost under the previous manager. We did carve out a couple of decent chances though and second half really stepped up.
Before we get carried away should point out that Barnsley defending was catastrophic, we wont face that every week. Anyhow the pace we broke at was excellent, 7 shots on target is probably what we achieved in the 1st 6 games combined. In 3 games it all looks so much better.

Positives (Gonna be a long one)
- 3 points
- Looked so dangerous throughout.
- Decent 1st half.
- F@(kin magic 2nd half.
- Supporters again brilliant. (Section of home support take note)
- Number of chances created.
- Brennan Johnson is a budding super star.
- Both full backs excellent. Spence took the full back honours though today.
- 2 good CB performances.....
- Yates! All those people who can't see what he does for the team can at least salivate over some eye-catching passes. He was colossal tonight. Total domination of MF despite Garner being off the pace tonight doesn't happen by accident.
- Lolley starting to look like his old self, that could be huge as we look to climb the table.
- Zink did a great job in 10 role and all the other roles!
- Samba had 1 real save to make (and he made it).
- Grabbs is back.
- Mighten made a massive impact.
- Really entertaining football to watch.
- Aside from Pen, Barnsley had 1, possibly 2 half chances tops.
We are out of bottom 3.
Negatives (have to be balanced).
- Should have had 6.
- Another stupid penalty conceded from poor defending.
- Should have been playing with 10, Zink a bit daft.
- No tickets for Saturday.
- Were we as good as we looked or were Barnsley just really sh1t?
Hard to be negative after that. What did you think Wantalee and Green man?
Very early days, but I am liking what Cooper appears to be trying to do.
Did I mention Jonno looks the business up top?
