We have been well in control of this game. FGR have had their moments, Traore and Gomes look like good players but they struggle to control the game and while their man marking Reid has done a good job, once we get forward towards their area they look very shaky. Holmes has been magnificent and you would imagine he will be Mark Cooper's main concern in his half time tactical adjustments would be coping with him. Our defence has been split open a couple of times so you can't write them off, but there are so many of our players, in fact all of them, on top form that it's difficult to see them getting back in this. Lloyd James has made some great passes and interceptions, and I know I keep harping on about him but everyone else has for so long that I feel it's justified - he looks like a really good player to me!

Good summing up, but I have been a bit of a defender of James, I'd probably take him off in the second-half because he has a yellow, no reason to risk a dominant performance with a needless red card. Bring on Troy, Boateng or Moxey.

Loving the boy Stanno
Thought the FG player called Cooper was too much of a coincidence. Terry's grandson.
They always like to keep it in the family, the Coopers.

The one time I don't do Sweeney for first goal ! 33/1. Must be at least 25 years since we had a start like this.

This is all very impressive especially considering the starting 11 were all here last season and no Ollie or Wheeler
