Great to be leading a game again - feels like it's been a while.
3 points is the most important thing, but what I want to see now is us score a proper goal in the second half. Ricky Holmes' efforts both sound like great strikes, but you can't rely on scoring 2 screamers every week. We need to start scoring proper goals again - not one off screamers, or scruffy goals from mistakes, or corners - a goal that is the direct result of some controlled build up and a pass which puts someone through on goal or a quality cross met well with a header, that sort of thing.
The kind of goal that you watch the replay of and you think the players knew exactly what they were doing to create that chance.

To be fair, that is what I thought the first one was. Read like good interplay.
Good work Novak and Botaka, long for Magennis - ball falls to Botaka, right foot to Holmes, back heel and Magennis can win a corner when battling with Magennis. Excellent work.
Bobbles around, Botaka out, Holmes right foot cross... Jacko flicks... Brown.. .Crofts there first though and Novak picks up - lines for aAribo but Brown clears. Whalley left to Roberts now, into Humphrys and dear oh dear that's a poor challenge on Konsa by Whalley.
They say Josh is quick, corner cleard off line, we attack again, crofts down and we are on the left but it is cleared, and then a whistle for a clash against Konsa, our FK
Both Crofts and Konsa there. Anyway. FK taken quickly... and Twitter is available to contact the CAFC Player team.
Headed on by magennis, Brown cuts, Nsiala out to Holmes and back with Konsa in our half. Rudd now, touches closes by Roberts and cleared by Jacko to Botaka, good back heel to Aribo, cuts in, back to Botaka, finds Holmes in space, across, ooh cut out by Sadler - we were lurking with Magennis!
tex nearly scored from the header following the corner and brown cleard off the line. Anyway we build on the right, we are on the left now, and holmes cross, but another corner to us.

Yeah, but it was still a long range effort wasn't it? A low percentage chance. I'm talking about something more like Byrne's goal at Bolton, which is the last one I remember scoring.
Really good ball by Botaka to Holmes for the change. Corner insuring, near post headed away, Botaka edge of area to pick, Konsa leaves it, Shrewsbury to clear, and Holmes now brings forward area now crosses back post TEX straight at the keeper!
Jacko short to Aribo and back, picked up Holmes round the corner for Novak - Jacko long for Holmes but Nsiala intercepts to Grimmer, Konsa was up to Magennis - ROBERTS GOAL 2-2.
Tyler Roberts got in space from the clearance, shot across goal finds the far corner after he runs onto the ball forward. Poor from Magennis - long long and goal.

Tex clears for their throw deep in our half.
