Play for the third goal was lovely, Piroe finding space behind the defence and Dhanda with a good pass.

God it's nice to see some decent football.

Steve Cooper was an absolute fraud.

He sucked all the love and enjoyment out of football.

These players seem to enjoy playing football again… with a bit of freedom.

Long may it continue

Some observations from the concourse:
Benda - upgrade on woodman already
Cabango - turns out I was wrong about him, he can pass a football
Cooper - loan done him world of good, looks capable at this level
Dan Williams - looks like he’s been in our midfield for years, should start for me.
Dhanda - best game for us. Looks to suit running from deep in a midfield 3.
Whittaker - excellent. Strong, Pacy, direct.
Piroe - looks an asset, strong and quick.
Joseph - quick and strong, perhaps not ready just yet but looks better than Cullen.

Think we will give a side or two a bloody tuning this year. Perhaps getting ahead of myself but I am just thankful to enjoy watching my club after two years of shit. The swans are back.

RM has got us playing good stuff in less than 10 days. Unbelievable

Yay I was one of the 29%

In a spooky coincidence those percentages are a almost a reversal of the possession stats.72%:28%

Dhanda is a player who really should be better under RM than he could be under Cooper.

Really, how very interesting

Big thing to come out of tonight, Yan Dhanda is not absolutely shite. Cooper made him shite.

Agree with you, so glad Blooper has gone

He’s always (under Cooper) been a frustrating player that you can see has talent but just can’t impact a game - maybe he just hasn’t been allowed to?
