It was a good display yesterday, not brilliant, and potentially a false dawn with some defensive frailty.
But some of our movement and passing was exquisite - plus some defensive play from Downes, matheson and Kenlock to drool over.
That was the kind of display and footballing style we’ve wanted for a decade; BUT it was Blackpool in the third tier, with their most effective player missing. Expect the Shrews next will actually test us again. |  |

This is what happens to a fanbase whose expectations have been ground down to almost nothing. |  |

....shows how far we have fallen that a rare half decent performance results in such high praise.

And it is only one game, even if we won 10-0 it is nothing to get excited about - anyone/team can turn it on once.
If we win 6 or 7 in a row then people should get excited and start giving out praise. |  | | |

Agree. We beat a very average side yesterday. Considering we’ve looked like a very average side recently too that is a definite positive. I enjoy seeing the Town win so will take it.
However I didn’t see enough yesterday to convince me that this is the start of an upward surge. Promising signs definitely but still don’t think we have a manager to get the maximum out of this squad. |  | | |

Some of the language being used across the board is ridiculous. Some people are going very large indeed on a single decent performance.

No ones getting carried away, and we all know it’s probably a false dawn. But people are rightly just enjoy a performance with some wonderful passing and endeavour!!! Why not? | |

.....amazing, superb, incredible.
Even wonderful and exquisite just this morning.
An accurate pass over 10 yards seems to get some people erect.
It was a solid 6.5-7/10, nothing more, nothing less. | |

I think these folks must be the same ones who believe that we were "really, really good" in back to back home defeats to Peterborough and Sunderland. | |

Oh Jesus wept.... there was absolutely excellent passing and play yesterday; and it’s something to celebrate. Watch the frickin highlights, and tell me that the Dozzell and a number of other triangles of passing wasn’t exquisite for a downtrodden town fan base to enjoy?
Now read the fact I was caveating the praise with the point that it’s not something to get carried away with.
Come on, man! It’s Sunday. Cheer up. This group that patrol the board with their agenda are really tiresome. | |

I watched the match.
The state of the fanbase doesn't affect whether the passing was exquisite or not. Many posters are showing realism and accuracy rather than resorting to hyperbole.
I would say it's even more fickle to start waxing lyrical about small parts of a single performance and then jumping on people when they make point out it was Blackpool and it wasn't like watching Barcelona even if it was better. Nobody is saying it wasn't better, the language being used is ridiculous though.

Unfortunately we can't see on iFollow (isn't that the line, anyway?), but for me, it didn't look like Sears was offside at 0-0 at the point the ball is played through to him, but would've liked to have seen that from another angle to know for sure. Thought he'd timed that run pretty well. |  |

I think just a win, 2 goals and a clean sheet has sent minds crazy.... mine included…. I actually gave a "YES" when the second went in.... |  |

There was a "YES" here when the first one went in - and then a bit of confusion of what the strange feeling was of getting a first half goal and being in front at half time felt like. | |

You state - “ I would say it's even more fickle to start waxing lyrical about small parts of a single performance and then jumping on people when they make point out it was Blackpool and it wasn't like watching Barcelona even if it was better.”
But I’d already said:
“BUT it was Blackpool in the third tier, with their most effective player missing.“
You’re overstating what is just some town fans enjoying a good performance, all seem to be stating we won’t do as well when properly tested.
It’s a football fans forum, if people’s views and enthusiasm are different to yours, then call it out. But do it in a way if we’d just met in a pub after the game. Civility is free.
Local media getting involved as well.
Here’s stuart Watson view of game:
“This was an energetic, encouraging, enjoyable and, ultimately, emphatic win.”
Andy Warren:
“Every player seemed comfortable with some promising signs. The most encouraging thing, for me, is they can all go up a gear as well” | |

Also don't think we played that well before the two goals - and Blackpool had the better chances at that stage - so the improved display was largely as Blackpool chased the game. |  | | |

I have been civil, the only person getting worked up is yourself because people aren't wholeheartedly agreeing with you like you expected.

Perhaps they are completely fed up with the total misery fest that TWTD has become?
Everyday the whinging, whining, the whole world is sh1t narrative is a total bore.

Football becomes a much easier game when you have a two goal lead against a midtable third division side missing their main goal threat. | |
