Although scoring five goals away from home will always be amazing,the real positive I will take from this game is our defending,mconville and darling made amazing blocks when they looked likely to score and darling cleared off the line when we were 5 nil up in the 93rd minute ,if we keep defending this well with an attack of mk ,toure,big mack ,it could be an interesting season otbc!

Concur 100 percent. Our defending this season overall has not been great to put it mildly haha. But we do seem to be turning a corner in that regard especially in our defensive decision making and general being in the right spots at the right time. Toughness level has went up a bit too. Credit to Grimshaw also for getting the shot to be a Number 1 again and running with it.

I honestly think his (Grimshaws) calmer presence is a large part of the reason our defence is looking more assured.

Seemed to be arguments every game between Kova and Cordoba. Now both dropped and we seem to have a really level headed back 5.

Rumours that there has been a serious fall out between those two, if true you'd expect one of them to leave in January (on loan or permanent).

If I had to lose one from Cordoba and Kovacevic then you'd think that replacing the keeper with an able number 2 is by far the cheapest and easiest option, assuming Grimshaw continues to look capable as number 1 for this season, loads of clubs in the Prem have half decent third or even fourth choice keepers that they might lend us for 5 months. Remi Matthews or somebody like that on loan.

Not just the defence from the defenders. A few times when Brizzle had promising attacks, a defender got a tackle in and managed to just block the ball enough for one of the midfield to get in, snatch the ball away and move back up the field, turning defence quickly into attack. I thought that midfield contribution was what we had missed before as promising attacks from the opposition tended to turn into goals, even if the defence got an initial block in.
