There are so many to choose from.
Plymouth seemed like a turning point having come out of sticky December to then begin putting down performances against the form teams. Charlton 6:0 was fun, Port Vale 2:1 was important but Exeter was mad. This season, Nodge was bouncing before but not the result, whereas Blackburn and Hull for coming though the challenges, and Cov for that goal.
I’m still on Exeter for the all round experience. |  |

Exeter was just a 90 minute party and first half we were superb. Has to be that one really for me. In terms of pure performance, I'd say the Hull game. They went into it 8 unbeaten and looking nailed on to challenge for the top 6 as a minimum, loads of quality in their side. We completely nullified them and took them apart. That first half was a completely different level. |  |

It’s been a great year at Portman Road, certainly the most entertaining since I was a child in the glory years, maybe ever.
Looking back now I’d say Sheffield Wednesday. Their fans were celebrating after half an hour as if they had confirmed promotion. At that point 90% of the supporters in the ground thought we were done. The great goal before half time and the second half performance were the springboard for the 10 months we’ve had since. Without that comeback we’d still be in league one. [Post edited 31 Dec 2023 9:21]

And they're now in the top six. |  |

We were ridiculously good in that first half.
Even though we beat Argyle, that game kind of burst my blue tinged bubble. Not in a bad way, just the way it was. And therefore...
... honourable mentions to Millwall and Cov the former who we schooled and the latter for that absurd goal.
Having to go for this season and ignoring Exexter etc. cos, well, you know. |  |

Too many to choose from. So I’ll choose a non obvious one. Stoke first home game.
We went into that not quite knowing how well we’d do. Plenty said ‘big step up’, ‘not enough signings’, ‘not good enough for the Championship’, ‘need Walton back’, this player or that was L1 standard etc.
Warm sunny day, the whole crowd patient and supportive and we were the better team throughout. We weren’t particularly spectacular. Just good and it told me we’d be ok. Probably more than ok. I went home thinking all things were possible.
Unlike the entitled toys out of the pram brigade (the same heroes hurling abuse at FL), I wasn’t expecting 46 straight wins - just hoped that we’d be competitive and in the first season back, finish in the top half maybe with a little push to the playoffs Sunderland style.
The Stoke game gave me realistic expectation in addition to hope. |  | | |

And they were very good as well. Was talking to a stoke fan a while ago about this as ar the time, once they ‘gelled’ (hate that word) they looked like they really kick on |  | | |

Although they haven't really kicked on as yet. Hopefully they won't kick on for another week or so at least. | |

As a rogue choice I might go for the 6-0 pumping we have Charlton. That was the game for me when I started the believe our great run would see us over the line. |  | | |

They were kind of owed one too after the 4-4 chaos and the laughter at our expense in the game after Cook was sacked. | | | |
