He's the man at the top - judge him on what happens and when it goes right he deserves credit.

FFS! He had nothing to do with it. 

And actually credit to him for admitting he had nowt to do with it. Some other managers would have took all the credit.

Wonderful stuff good to see all guns blazing and looking to put a side to the sword once there were on the ropes. It'll rarely deliver that result but same attitude needs applying all season then we might take a few real steps forward. 

Wycombe will struggle badly this season, nobodies fault just don't think they are equipped for this league at all yet.

Gallagher will never be a winger as long as he has a hole in his arse

Gallagher has no wish to be a winger, just to be played as a striker.

Last January, we won 5-0 away at Sheff Wed with just as fine a performance. Many claimed it was the start of a new dawn. Sadly, it wasn't. Today should therefore come with a 'health warning'. There are some differences. This was the third successive such performance. A Blackburn Rovers scored a hattrick. I can't remember the last time that happened.

I was not pleased that Nyambe got left out or that Brereton was taken off. I thought there was a goal for Brereton in the game today. I don't think Chapman offered anything over Brereton, today.

It's hard to remember that Dolan was signed to play for our U23s, at times. He's taken his chance well. Made the most of his opportunity.

Last season, we lost to teams we should have easily beaten on paper. Today, we beat such a team on the pitch and met the expectations of Mercer, for one.

Did you put the £660 on? 

?

Not quite as I made it clear that I wouldn't buy a season ticket (with Mowbray and Waggott at the helm) even if I'd win the £62million Euro jackpot.!

However, I won £150 across two bets (Rovers to win and more than 1.5 goals in the match) so I put my money where my mouth is/was.  As a bonus, I also took £20 off a Burnley fan in the pub when our fifth went in.  So, all in all, a nice little earner today which will allow me to add some very decent reds to my wine stock.

Thanks. I was scrolling through pages on google getting more and more frustrated at not being able to find the answer.

Apparently Gareth Ainsworth is off down the Vulcan tonight before he either washes his hair or turns rasta.

So what ..he stuck his neck out regardless ..according to you hes  played someone he allegedley had no idea about ..a kid .and all sweet 

[Bbrovers2288]

Good win and goes against one of my biggest criticisms of mowbray in dispatching teams convincingly when we are the better team, true Wycombe helped us in doing that but happy with that performance and result with hopefully a decent signing on Monday, just enjoy rest of your weekend lads

Yep, and he said if Gally had been fit Dolan would have been with the U23's. Sweet.

By saying 'doing okay' surely even he knows Bell aint up to it. How can there be other priority positions on the pitch over LB?

Long way to go yet for Dolan but just shows how crazy this league is and how every young player should get some sort of chance in it.

I'd imagine a CM is pretty urgent now. 

[Ewood Ace]

Sounds like a very comfortable win. Delighted to see Dolan on the scoresheet that will do his confidence the world of good. Let's not get to carried away with the result though as Wycombe did finish 9th in League 1 last season. 

[Blue blood]

Not TMs biggest fan but he has to take credit for today. So many positives. 

We have some young players who look very, very promising. Armstrong continues his fine form. We may have found Rothwells place in the team. Our weaker players all put in solid performances, albeit against weak opposition but still pleasing to see. Of course 5 goals and a clean sheet helps too. 

The only negative is Nayambe being dropped after a good performance v Bournmouth. That won't endear him to stay whatsoever and we could be adding a right back to our lists of needs. Not ideal. 

However one negative, a ton of positives and a thumping win, so you can't be unhappy with that. Won't be getting carried away but it's good to know there's some quality there which should ease any worries against relegation. 

Oh, and it's worth mentioning these are the sorts of game that TM struggles with, when we are heavy favourites. So in this respect as well it's a significant win. Perhaps this formation is what we should use Vs weaker opposition and be a bit more canny and practical Vs tougher opposition? Food for thought. 

However, at least this time it is very positive food.

Not over a LB in my opinion - we have plenty of options there. We have one LB and a young kid as backup followed by EB.

Don't disagree but Travis injury has left a big hole in midfield. We have Bell and Williams. The same LB's we've had for 3 seasons.

Forgot about Williams tbh but he is not any better either. We have Buckley, Dack when back, Davenport, Bennett, Evans when back to cover Travis.

None of those are anywhere near Travis level.

I'm just suggesting where Mogga may see priority area's besides LB. We need both.
