Excellent videos and a great night for the memory bank!!
Lets hope we can win again Sat to keep this current up turn going.
From the goals u can see the training coming in within that midfield area and we have the people there to do the business with Mellis Bishop and Elsnik.
Glad Walker got on the sheet he deserves a bit of a break.

Great ball from Mellis to Hamilton for Walker's goal, and a great little lay-off from Walker for Elsnik's first.

What a clever finish by Walker....class!!!
Great football for every goal. Timi is a cracking player, the sort we need to be buying if we are promoted!!!

I think Walker's play for Elsnik's second goal was brilliant. Took Roses' flick on, and held off defenders to create space behind. I'd buy that from him every week

That was the highlight of the highlights. Awesome ball. I read elsewhere on here that Walker’s goal went in off him. I hope the person who posted that will withdraw that.

Mellis looks totally different to the player we knew of old - he's so tricksy! Looks to have a whole new confidence and composure on the ball.

We're starting to see some of the potential of the players brought in by the previous gaffer. Evans picked em, but they were forged by Flitbit.

IF we can continue this improvement I can see this season just getting better and better. Oh, and Flitbit out!

My mate is a massive Chelsea fan and was raving about Melli’s over the weekend. He said he was surprised he doesn’t play at a much higher level.

Two great saves by Olejnik at Crewe

That’s how you make a save.....you dive and catch it, not rocket science. It beggars belief that nowadays they are trained to palm it away, even the simplest of catches. Well done Bobby!!!

Depends on the situation. For a decent keeper that was a relatively easy save (good height and not travelling too fast). If the ball had been travelling faster then there is more chance for it to ‘wobble’ or swerve so you would push it away either upwards or sideways.
Incidentally there was a situation in the first half when Olejnik caught a cross one-handed. Not recommended but he seemed very comfortable doing it.

Agree, there are situations where it needs to punched away, Bobby seems pretty confident making the decisions either way. I was always worried with Logan.

The most important thing is you can see the defence trust Bobby, he's made a huge difference in my opinion

First save was going wide.
