The trick is now to do it again. I don't forsee the team being too different to that which started last week. Hopefully it will be 3 points , although I can't see Blackburn being so generous as Sheffield United were last week. Confidence is a wonderful thing, keep building that and the season will be taking an upward slant. |  | | |  |

100%, two years ago confidence and momentum were key. It was great to get a statement win but also although in the first half Sheff Utd were not that bad and controlled most of the match. It was great to get a statement win but means nothing if we don't back it up. If we can win 3 or 4 of next 5 we should be able to kick on. We need to get in the top six if we can before next international break and then chase down top 2 from there. |  | | |

As Phil reported in the new article on the TWTD front page, Darnell Furlong said yesterday 'People say it all the time, there’s no easy game in the Championship and it sounds cliché but it really is, anyone can beat anyone on the day.' If we go into the next five games expecting to win four of them then we are, maybe, asking to be disappointed. One game at a time still applies. |  |

I’ve supported Town long enough to not be confident going into ANY game.
Just hope we start with some intensity- too many games we’ve let the oppo get the initiative early on. I think KM is naturally cautious, but we’ve got the speed and the quality to cause anyone in this division problems. | | | |

You have to feel Blackburn will be working on ways to stop Philogene, hopefully McAteer and Akpom can find some space. Need Hirst to have a good game. |  |

Don't know why but I have a feeling KMcK is going to throw a curve ball into the equation this week and rest Hirst for either Azon or Akpom
Some would say it's probably be best leaving it alone after Hirst's performance last week but he's been flat out and played a lot of minutes from the start of the season
Would offer a different dimension as Hirst was a very good "finisher" when Delap came off last season
Dunno , just a hunch |  |

This is where having Egeli on the other side can throw spanners in the works of teams trying to stop our wide threats. You can't cover everything.
I say that somewhat reservedly knowing that SGE is still young obviously and may not start regularly quite yet. |  |

We have played well in previous games, especially Derby - we just lacked a cutting edge up front, and had a couple of 'moments' in defence.
So, playing well isn't so much in question - it's eliminating the defensive 'moments', and converting the xG into actual goals. We excelled on both accounts last game, and since both are related to confidence, it hopefully gives us the confidence to continue tomorrow. | | | |

I guess there is the worry that as we aren’t a fully well oiled machine (just yet) that results could be a mixed bag for a month or so.
That said, even if we are 70/80% of where we need to be (on paper) we should be too strong. |  |

That's the thing. Philogene may have played a blinder against SheffU, but we have so much additional firepower in the team and on the bench. If they over-mark him, there'll be more opportunities for Hirst (who also scored last Friday), Akpom, MacAteer (who does like to shoot), Szmodics (top Champ goalscorer), Clarke (likewise, also scored last game), Azon and hot-shot Walle Egeli. Without considering Nunez or Young on free kicks. Or Davis letting fly.
Basically, so long as we keep it on target (which was the biggest improvement from before the international break), we should be peppering their goal. |  |

I just hope there is the acknowledgement that not every team will let us play the way Sheff Utd did in the second half and that Sheff Utd themselves made life tough for us in the first half.
Im sure the usual 'real-time reaction' doom-mongers will be on here if we're not 3-0 up inside 10 minutes. | | | |

I think the team will be the same at the start and the subs the same and only when we get weeks where it's Saturday, Tuesday/Wednesday, Saturday will KM rotate the squad. | | | |

Having all week with the players will help a great deal as well. | | | |
