I feel there's some vital information missing from this post.

I feel there's some vital information missing from this post.

Nothing wrong to stumble across it, seem to recall Jim Smith doing similar with Dean Sturridge who wasn’t first choice starting the promotion season. You’re right though that focal point is important and that combined with Joe Ward finally starting to show some form, moving Sibs back to left wing back, and the signing of Ebou Adams have been key to this “mini” resurgence.

I don’t want to get ahead of myself or allow myself to be excited, but.. I feel like something has finally clicked.
Best performance we’ve ever had under Warne, in my opinion. We’ve fell on to a workable system, the main reason was the recruitment staff doing their job and finding a gem in Ebou Adams and very recently I think it’s not in any small part to having to change the dynamic with Gayle upfront. I believe these two signings in particular have changed our fortunes, similarly to how Nyambe did earlier in the season.
Sibley and Ward are excelling. The defence are well balanced, the cohesion between the midfield and defence is significantly better, gaps aren’t as freely available for the other team and we are now working well going forward. I think we actually look like a team now, which for the majority of the season has definitely been missing something. The last two performances, the dynamic of the team, I’m finally hopeful. 

Was amazed to see how many turned their noses up at him as a prospect. My only concern was whether we could afford him!
Not a long term option, clearly, but right here, right now he's gold dust. Fingers crossed he continues in the same vein as he's begun. Him and Collo in a two upfront would be a thing to see.

I like him a lot already looks a class above in this division 
shows great touches and has surprised me with his link up play and has great movement 
he will definitely score goals if he gets the right service and I think he could be a massive signing for the final run in 
was he insinuating playing padel with his goal celebration at the corner flag ….if so I love it 😂👍🏻
 

Pretty comprehensive victory in the end. We dominated the majority of the game apart from the spell they had just after we went 2-0 up. 
Until we made the break through I had a nagging fear that it was gonna be one of those games we controlled and then end up losing 1-0 right at the death.
It could and should have been more convincing in the end. Another great pick-me-up after 2 disappointing defeats. Hopefully we're hitting our stride just at the right time. Disappointing news regarding Birdy but we are eventually going to have to cope without the lad so now is a good a time as any to find a way. 

What a contrast in emotions compared to 11 days ago, two big wins later and for the first time this season we are truly in an automatic promotion slot.  Cannot wait until Tuesday and hopefully the crowd will play their part in ending the Reading hoodoo, before the big match on Saturday.  COYR.

How did Chris Martin play? 🥺

Hattrick inside 22 minutes today for Dajoune

Perfect result 😃

Unlikely. The backlash over his racism would be too much. 

First time I have seen him and surprise to see how big  he is, both tall and bulky for an 18 yo.
You'd think from physique alone he would be the sort of player to interest Warne
 

We're 12 points ahead of Oxford in 7th, same games played. Although mathematically possible of course, there's no realistic way they finish above us with only 10 games to play. Making up over a point a game on any side near the top of the table is a tough ask, especially when you don't play them again this season.
Hopefully that gives us the confidence to throw everything at going for 2nd place. We don't really need to look over our shoulder, and it makes little difference whether we finish 3rd or 6th. Let's go for it.

We need automatic, nothing less. As much as I Love London, our latest trips to Wembley have not been a bundle of fun, the  play offs are too much of a lottery for my liking

It’s about time SKY paid to charter trains and bus travel to compensate away fans for their stupid o’clock ko times.

Undone by two individual errors tonight.
Wildsmiths just plan stupid foul and a badly misplaced pass from Adams.
Missing Collins up front.
Onto the next one.

OK its a small club in National League South, but for over a hundred years Torquay United has been a stalwart of the the English leagues and now it is in administration and the future looks very bleak.
I'm a Devonian by birth and Torquay was my club, difficult to reach in the 50's/60's from where I lived and Dad had no car. I loved the games and my favourite memory was watching them play Spurs in an FA cup game in 65 that ended 3-3. I watched from halfway up the floodlight pylon. I was 14 years old then. A copper below me told me to get down, gave up, then said if I fell down it'd better not be on him!
Torquay also pioneered Friday evening games due to so many fans being involved in hospitality and Saturday was change over day for tourists. For many years they had the lowest debt ratio of any professional team in England but a gentle slide down to non league ensued and now the current owner has walked.
I feel for the 1700 regular fans (2nd best in that league!).

That's a genuinely outrageous talent pool for a Championship (at the time) club.
