Poor game with a correct result, but Macclesfield were by far in my opinion the worst team down the GM this season.
Excellent performance by the ref.

Can only beat what's put in front of you. Emphatically swept away.
Ref had no real decisions of note, 7/10

Town comprehensive victory, Macc more or less given up, but they are probably safe so free to do so if they want - i'm not complaining
Just dont see what the point is of getting on the refs back, he got a few decisions wrong, but he kept the game under control, didnt let it get out of hand. Did a good job IMO.
This culture of constantly slagging refs off doesnt help anyone.

Great three points, great scoreline, great for the confidence, great for momentum, great that Bury have won 3-0 and gained no ground on us whatsoever.
How good Macclesfield are or are not is irrelevant. They were our opponents today.
My sincere apologies if my sarcasm non-detection disorder is playing me up again!

One penalty decision on Collins that could have gone our way on a different day but can't complain. In the first half when their goalkeeper saved a shot he didn't take it over the line but the ref gave us a corner which really baffled me. A couple of other niggly decisions but a 100% improvement from Wycome that's for sure. Controlled the game very well when things could have got heated and told Lionel not to take his shirt off again straight after his second. 6/10 I'll give him.

What were you watching Eastwood v Telford? You really are hard to please aren't you old Ed? I thought it was a very entertaining game and one of our best performances of the season. So in your view whats the best game you've seen this season? (If you've ever been impressed)

Think today summed up our season - really very good in patches when our passing and finishing was top notch and we looked top quality...
But also a couple of ten minute periods where we seemed to switch off, stop moving and not work as hard as we should which is slightly frustrating
Overall though a very good win under our belts and good to see us spreading the goals around the team

Macclesfield were comprehensively outplayed today, and totally exposed for a lack of skill, tactics and strategy. Reminded me of ourselves towards the end of last season Thought their keeper had a blinder despite conceeding 4. We could have reached double figures.

Christ Ed, you're either a wind up merchant or an extremely miserable man. I even remember you moaning after the 7-0 against Gillingham a few years ago.
It wasn't the perfect performance, and there's no denying Macclesfield were absolutely dire. But if you can't enjoy a 4-1 win which cements our position in the top three towards the end of the season, with a fairly big attendance on a sunny day, I really suggest you give up.

I'm not sure about the worst I've seen this season, but Macc were certainly poor. However, the table suggests they're mediocre rather than truly dire, and I actually thought they gave us a good game - one which we were lucky to win - at the Moss Rose back in the autumn, so today's spanking is an excellent result however you care to look at it.
Cheer up, Ed. I know you're cautious after so many years of disappointment, blah, blah, blah, but like RB says, if you can't find something positive to say about the manner of our victory today or the current situation the club is in, I suggest you find an alternative hobby, as your present one clearly isn't ever going to make you very happy.

Yes I prefer the town to win 4 - 3 in a competitive game rather than 7 - 0. Macclesfield were so bad today that is difficult to judge the quality of the towns performance. If you want to judge the game based on the scoreline and the weather rather than the quality of the game fine I prefer to look at the quality of the football played which in my opinion was hardly better than average

Macclesfield looked better in August. Seem to have become a tedious long ball lower league team, which is disappointing when they've got the time to try for better. Then again, there are some teams in the top 10 doing the same thing, albeit more effectively.
As others have said, you beat what's in front of you and 4 of the top 10 have dropped points today. As long as we're in the group that doesn't drop points, we'll be fine.
We were a bit slow starting and had some defensive jitters early on but overall it was a good (not great) performance and 5 excellent goals makes for good entertainment.
Besides, I've learned that everythings generally a couple of notches higher than in Ed's world.

I thought generally we played well yes, every player was at the level they needed to be at to win today, I'm confident that if we need to up our performance we will be capable of doing that. The end of season run in is about results, not performances, and a 4-1 home win is always most welcomed by me

And in vour opinion did we play well, because I believe we were no better than average, there was not a single performance that would have been above average in Division 1 and that is the key fact now. Why is that a key fact? Why do we need to be putting in above average League 1 performances to beat Macclesfield in League 2? This time last year Rochdale were losing regularly, Notts were winning all the time - now it's Notts fighting relegation and Rochdale just outside the play offs. We need to do just what we're doing - putting in performances to win the game we're playing. For the record, I think Davis was excellent throughout and others (Sharps, Raven, Ainsworth) produced good displays. Not sure what you want Ed, but I fear you'll never find it.

Worst team this seaon? - You must have forgotten the performance by Hereford Utd then because they were simply shocking, closely followed by Stockport at Edgeley Park.
Though they were beaten easily in the end I thought Macclesfield were quite a hard team to break down at times though once they conceded things became much easier.

You will go along way to witness a more hapless performance by any professional team than the one that Hereford put in at The Greenhous Meadow this season. Let's just hope they are the same in 3 weeks time.

Yes I prefer the town to win 4 - 3 in a competitive game rather than 7 - 0. Out of interest, what would you post if we'd won 4-3 against Macclesfield in a competitive game yesterday? All positive i presume? Or criticism that we conceded three and would be punished for that against better teams? The bit about needing to be performing as a top half league one club every week is just silly. But i'm sure you know that. I'd probably even take us not doing that next season, as long as we stayed up.. if we even go up of course.

yesterday was like a typical sunday league game until the far better side gets in front its anyones game and when they get 2 goals in front its the signal for the other team to give up sometimes the poor side do get away with a point or 3 thankfully, we wore them down yesterday and ensured the final result was right had we got the first goal it might have been a crewe type result but wasnt to be
