    Maybe the fire or burglar alarm is our lucky omen?!

    Even Tanto looks lively

    Difficult to get too excited as we’re playing Colchester, but great to see us playing with energy

    Let’s hope knibbs can stay fully fit this year, looking like a new player. One thing you can’t fault is his effort every time he plays

    Yes it's L2 opposition, but we actually look like a team with attacking ideas. I like the way Knibbs and Grant have been swapping positions, with Knibbs sometimes on the left.

    Knibbs will be like a new signing this year…

    This is a much better performance, the new shape is starting to make sense

    Yea the bloke really puts it in doesn’t he. Clearly wasn’t fit for large chunks of last year so don’t think we’ve seen the best of him

    I'll be going down if they don't that frigging alarm off. This is good stuff though

    Classic Godden finish but what a ball from Koumetio. The new Naby Sarr.
    Hopefully minus the inexplicable howlers dropped on a semi-regular basis....

    Grant moving up top with Godden dropping deeper at times, and Knibbs pulling wide left. Hopefully a sign that we'll have a more fluid, creative side when things are going well for us

    We look more dynamic than I’ve seen us previously. Very promising

    Is this a Championship level midfielder?

    Godden looks like he’s moving well, which is nice to see.

    Think it’s fair to say that we don’t even need Lloyd Jones now.

    Cash in lads.

    I like how forward thinking Mesík is, he played LCB at the weekend and looked a bit awkward, looks much more comfortable as an overlapping fullback

    Am I dreaming or are we actually playing some attacking football

    Gough and Mwamba continuing to show they either need to be involved in our first team or on loan in L1/L2/SPL.
