Ridiculous really. No near misses or the sending off KMT was on about.

From those highlights the outstanding moment was Sam Nombe turn8ng his marker inside out to set up Sparkes goal!

Amazing result, somehow makes losing to Torquay in a PSF less worrying, eh chums?

It seems that rarely does a City player have an obviously bad game. Nobody is being carried, and they're all putting in average 7 or 8 point average rating per game. All of them. You can take one player out and put another one in and it makes no difference.

We're passing the ball around really well and the movement and anticipation of Sam N is terrific. Harry Kite has suddenly become a key player, Coley is progressing well, Hartridge seems totally assured in defence +++, : you could go on and on.
And Collins isn't an automatic pick every week for no reason.
The team is playing with a high degree of confidence and joy.

It is still very early doors and things can happen, but so far it's all very exciting

It really was just like watching Brazil ... wearing Cheltenham shirts.

World Cup semi final, 2014. 5-0 HT, home fans in despair. Only difference, the useless Germans let in a goal at the end.

The team do seem incredibly well-drilled. Every player knows their role but also knows what runs other players are going to make so there know where to pass to or where to cover. And then, as you say, new players can slot in without affecting the rest of the team. We didn't even need the creative magic of Jevani tonight.

Will there be extended highlights anywhere? I don't think those highlights do us justice!
