Didn't expect that at all. Fair bloody play. Henry scores that sitter and I think we beat the Lincoln record - but obviously not complaining at all!
Nobody played badly but a special shout to Sam f*****g Long. SUCH brilliant attacking fullback play. It's not just the deliveries now, it's the movement, the intelligence and effectiveness of the runs forward, the energy for 90 minutes. I genuinely don't think it would be outrageous to say, based on the last few games, that he's now better than Cadden was for us last season. Three assists today, should have been four.
Burton didn't actually look that bad I didn't think. Better than Northampton and Plymouth when they actually got the ball down and started playing, certainly. Defence and midfield looked shaky at times, but equally we were playing some brilliant attacking football. I think Hasselbaink will keep them up.
Four points outside the playoffs now. Players coming into form, momentum building: we're top of the form table over the last 6 games, and fourth in the last 10 (since losing to Crewe). We won't make the autos, Hull and Lincoln are going at it too strongly, but if we can nip into the playoffs, with the momentum we have nobody would want to face us. Fingers crossed we don't get rusty in the next fortnight.
