muirinho3points I’ve been saying for ages that Barrow is part of the problem. He’s wasteful going forward and poor defensively. Compare him to McCleary who’s positional sense is so much better. .3points . Great to see Blackett getting some plaudits today as well. I think the fans have been overly harsh on him in the past but he’s clearly talented and showed today he’s happy to have a scrap and a battle when needed (plus he has a sweet left foot Anderson the s3cond goal he’s created this season from a great cross).
Actually think these two things are related - if you think about Aluko on the other side, he's even worse than Barrow.
Our full backs were regularly getting slated last season because they were being pulled all over the place, because of the poor tracking of the wingers in front of them. And this season was more of the same. Last couple of games I saw, I was moaning about Barrow constantly either being nowhere to be seen, or else he was following the ball, and trying to tackle the same guy Yiadom was tackling, leaving the other winger/fullback completely free. It was so obvious at Brentford I was wondering if he'd been told to double up, so I was blaming Clement!
I wonder if Obita could play in front of Blackett when he comes back in? I thought Baldock did well today, but is he really a winger?

PieEater Well that was a nice 3 pts, we rode our luck and somehow came away with a win. It was pretty even before Meite scored, a nice move, cross and header into the corner. Before that it looked like they'd take one of the many chances that fell their way. After the goal we just sat back and let them play, they had chances but the goal from a corner landed on his toe to whack in - it was coming.
Somehow we got a second from a dodgy penalty, it's one of those you'd complain if given against but we'll take what little luck we've had this year where we can. After that it was backs to the wall defending, and a couple of great saves from Jaakkola kept us in it. The third killed it, hats off to Meite who previously had showed potential but not delivered, finally he did.
Good game from Blackett (yes!) Swift and Jaakkola and of course Meite.
If I was a Millwall fan I'd be miffed at the score line given their chances and how much they dominated.

Woodcote Royal They weren’t mugged, we got ahead and the whole team defended for their lives to earn a well deserved 3pts.
The margins between the best and worst in this division are very fine and today we did the basic well and took a fair percentage of chances that came our way while Millwall didn’t.
They put in a lot of effort while missing too many chances and conceding three.
Our No3 keeper put in a man of the match performance and is surely now our No1!
Meanwhile, no one was having a bad game and Meite his best for us so far.
I would give Blackett a special mention. For a player who has taken so much stick he was excellent today defending and going forward.
He made the cross for the first goal and, unless I’m mistaken, won the penalty for the second. How many light years would it take for Gunter to win a pen
I was delighted not to see Aluko start or come off the bench but how he got that spot ahead of Barrow beggars belief.
alfie9 Never seen a team drop 2 keepers within 2 months on form alone.
Well played Jaakola. Deserves to keep his place now.

Gunny Fishcake What ever you have in life you need good luck and we certainly had some good fortune today especially with the penalty. Today was the first game I’ve enjoyed this season (missed Hull) great game great fun good atmosphere.
Jaakkola was a revelation what a game , that should be the keepers position sorted.
A precious three points let’s hope we kick on now

Light years is a measure of distance not time.

Actually, it is just a cliche and used as a measure of ability. When used there will be someone or something happening to compare two or more parties, so that one could be said to be light years ahead of others.
