Better than talking about the "B" word Rae.Well done City, and hats off to Matt. Not often I see us described as the 'League pacesetters' and with the joint highest goal difference to boot.

Not much to add, really. Just a good all-round performance with everyone doing their jobs and no weak links. The complaint before was that we were not creating chances so at least we are creating more now and are disappointed not to have scored more than 3 away from home. Anyway, just glad we got the 3 points our performance merited and any team who defends as badly as Carlisle did deserve to get nothing from the game.That was a completely dominant performance from start to finish. Absolutely superb, the only criticism was our finishing, we genuinely should have scored about 8 goals.
The high press, with every players chasing loose balls down, desperate to win the ball back was a joy to watch. The counter attack, free flowing moves forward... Williams was superb, Law was class always, Sparkes, Deano, Martin excellent, JT reborn in the new formation (until we switched to 442) Lee Martin was my MOTM, what a player he is. This was the football that Tisdale could never produce, I am very impressed with today, the key thing will be for us to keep producing like that. Had a feeling there was more in this team - we're so good defensively but now the attacking side has started to click I think we are going to fly...
And we still have Ajose to find his form, Richardson a good option and Atangana available soon. Exciting times.
If you don't ask you won't get. I want us to batter everybody when the opportunity arises and it sounds like we should have won even more comprehensively than we did. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy with the win especially when a conversation I had this morning at work went along the lines of 'Id take appoint this afternoon' but when opportunities come to make a statement, make it. Don't be coy.Not much to add, really. Just a good all-round performance with everyone doing their jobs and no weak links.

1st half highlights look like a Williams show reel. Great stuff. Looks like we created so many great chances.What a pass by Williams for the first goal.
Indeed..A huge difference from last season,when the workrate dropped off in the last 15 mins.And a team that is supremely fit as well.
