Very interested in this "turn out of defence" mentioned on here and on the radio. Can anyone describe it for me?

Was clearly buzzing with confidence, so just turned a man who was chasing a ball down the channel.

In other circumstances, MT would not allow such boisterious behaviour.

Man of the match..for sure!

He was excellent today - got to say Stubbs and Sweeney were also great. Will be interesting to see how Hartridge fits back in now, suddenly we have loads of great CBs!

I was initially not sure with the first half hour v Sutton but since then he has massively improved. Big talent.

Well, he won that battle very comprehensively and also looked much more composed on the ball today.
Proper centre- half banging home from a corner too.

Hartridge will have to play centre forward !

For the first ten minutes against Sutton Diabate and Stubbs looked like they'd never met each other, let alone played together. After we conceded Matt Taylor called them over for a pep talk; I'd love to know what he said as we've not conceded a goal since in the league when they've both been on the pitch.

Looks like a big couple of weeks coming up for Chieck; he has the chance to prove to the manager that he's ready and can be trusted in the first team and there's no need to sign another defender in January.
I think it's fair to say he's now proved himself to the manager!

Lovely little touch from Sweens on the steward who was somewhat perplexed :):)
