Been a long time since we left a game feeling like this. Up the Town!

Great result Town.
The play off push is just starting today🙂 Ok, I'm joking before anyone jumps down my throat.

Well that's a bit more like it! Team definitely feels a bit more settled over the last few weeks. And only missing Vela really?
Let's hope there can be a few more performances like this over the next few months!
Great result!
(I am intrigued how prickly SC will be though!)

Well, in all seriousness, we're only three points off 14th, be lovely to have a steady few weeks, keep picking up points like today and whilst I agree talk of the play offs is nonsense it would be great to get five or six teams between us and the relegation zone and a six or seven point buffer.

I should go to London every weekend - FFS! Question: are we more solid without Pierre in defence?! Brilliant result and nice to be out the bottom 4! I doubt it. It's always easier to defend against a lone striker whilst winning

Great win and performance.
Let’s be realistic we’re not going to go on a charge up the table just because we beat a poor team who I think we’ll finish above. But if we can keep chipping away with wins and keep our heads when we lose games we’d expect to lose (like Oxford on Tuesday night), we can easily manage to get ourselves out of trouble.

Special mention for Udoh who was brilliant today. I don't know if it's a new tactic but the amount of balls that were fired at him at chest height that he managed to control turn and use to play others in was brilliant.
Best game in a Salop shirt.

Strange how posters were making a big issue of (no) shots on target on Tuesday, yet no-one has bothered to count them today.

The only one I can find fault with today is the P A chap , he’s having a mare , Ryan come back "Third and final substitution"

Very good performance today. Well done Ryan Bowman on his terrific hat-trick. Udoh and Leahy were also superb. Whalley put in a good shift as he always does. Defence were sound. Fans were in great voice. A good day.

The Cambridge goalkeeper was removed with concussion and both teams get an additional substitute.

Header, left foot, right foot. Anyone remember the last town player to get such a perfect hat trick? Tom Eaves?

Good news and a touch of class from Udoh, who had a great game.

That is the sort of performance we have been longing for.
Well done to all involved.
More of the same please
Best game I’ve seen in a Town shirt for Udoh and Bowman.
Leahy is proving to be different gravy. The lads engine is immense. And to think it is not his natural position makes it even more impressive.
Nurse is quality. So composed and unfazed by anything.
Pennington and EEL stood up to everything.
Marosi was very unfortunate to concede - only beaten by an absolute worldy which no keeper would have got to.
Ogbeta needs to be playing more regularly. He can beat a man, and some of the crosses he put in were awesome.
Davis was a lot better today. Not much got passed him.
Bennett was his usual consistent self and played well whilst on.
Whalley did what Whalley has been doing for us for years. Providing others with scoring opportunities, getting in decent areas and winning free kicks.
An all round very good ATTACKING performance, that we’ve waited a long time to see! Can we play them every week??!!
Best wishes to Mitov. That had the potential to be so much worse. Glad he and Udoh are ok.

The lion's share of the plaudits have to go to Bowman but honourable mentions must go to Ogbeta, Leahy and Udoh.
The latter in particular is coming on leaps and bounds in recent weeks but just needs to add that composure in front of goal to his game. Fabulous turn and shot early on but still somehow didn't end up on the scoresheet.
Thought Ogbeta was back to his best today. Much improved crossing and actually a somewhat more disciplined display defensively though overall less eye catching than in the past. Maybe there is some method to the madness of Steve taking him down a peg or two earlier in the season.
Leahy is fast becoming a fans favourite I think. Versatile, some real quality but most of all just boundless energy and a fantastic attitude. Great man to have in the squad.
Defensively we looked solid again, as others have said few keepers would have stopped their goal do defense and keeper can take heart from today.
All in all, much improved and a 3rd home win on the bounce now. Felt much livelier in the stands today and there was a confidence in the air there hadn't been all season which I think was reflected in the early goal and overall level of intent.
If Bowman and Udoh can keep that up, supported by Whalley, Leahy and Ogbeta with Vela to come back and an improving defense and overall morale..... we might have something. Still think we're thin on the ground though and vulnerable to injuries and suspensions. A successful January in the transfer market is a must.

Now the big question of the day, which was the best of our 4 goals?
Great cross for the first and the next three all well worked team efforts...
My choice, Bowman's hat trick goal, lovely flowing move and a very composed finish.
