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.

Evans, Buckley, Bennett and Davenport are  not good enough to be in a promoted squad

I don’t want to get ahead of myself here lads...   But I think we are one of the best teams in world football right now and we’re going to piss the league.

Ryan Nyambe - IMO, you need to get away from this mad house.  I do not think Mowbray has done much at all for your career development.  IMO, the manager has hung you out to dry on a number of occasion

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.

What a healthy attitude. Just when the club needs your support more than ever.

Great result. Deserved a big win after the encouraging performances in the first two weeks. Very impressive.

When Waggott does something to demonstrate we really are 'in it together' then I might reciprocate.

IMO, diabolical stuff on ST's which will just alienate the fan base more.

Checked in on the Noblers forum to see what they thought of Dolan. 
 

Seem to think he wouldn’t make the bench in their side. The delusion of fans never seems to amaze.

Glen Hoddle style pass from Buckley for Armstrong's hat trick goal. It had a message on it that said " Here, put this in the back of the net ". He's got that ability to get his head up early on and he knows where he's going to pass the ball before gets it. One for the future for me.

  I was expecting Armstrong to go around the keeper for what ought to have been his fourth.

That score's put a smile on my face. They were like a pub team at times but we've struggled to beat pub teams in the past. Bring on the Rams.

Phenomenal result. I guess the question is does it really tell us much about future games?

For mid table and promotion games probably not. Wycombe have a dearth of quality which those teams will not. But then again we have really struggled against relegation battle teams in the last few years. They've tended to be physical, play direct and we have crumbled. So if it is a very positive sign that the players and the 433 not only stood up to the aerial bombardment - it actually thrived. The midfield and front three all seem to enjoy the formation more than a 4231 or a 4411. Dolan, Rothwell, Armstrong, Johnson, Holtby were all excellent and we were relentless and ruthless.

Although we have only won 2 from 4 competitive games I think we are shaping up well for the season. If we can replicate last terms mid table and leading pack results but add significant improvements to games against the bottom six-eight team we should make the playoffs.

That said Derby and Cardiff - 2 teams with similar ambitions to us and good quality - will tell us a lot more about where stand. If we win both those I will start getting excited.

As squad players? I'm sure tons of worse players have been in promoted squads.

Evans has actually been a regular starter in a promoted team before.

My point is that bell is not good enough for a Championship squad, let alone 1st choice. LB is priority for me.

Good performance and victory to get us up and running. 3 points were essential. 5 goals and a clean sheet should get the confidence flowing. 

Some tough games coming up which will be more difficult than Wycombe but good stuff all around today. Time for a few beers in celebration.

Fantastic result and a really impressive performance. Hard to say where we're at and what we can hope for this sesson as it was only Wycombe but you can only beat what's in front of you. 

JRC a constant outlet from right back and is a great alternative to Nyambe in games like today when the emphasis is on attacking. Saying that I would bring Nyambe back in next weekend for a little bit more defensive stability. 

Really impressed with Rothwell today, fingers crossed the penny has dropped and he can kick on and continue contributing with assists (and a few goal). Not sure what else can be added about the boy Dolan, what a talent we have on our hands. 

Armstrong looking likely he will hit over 20 league goals this season, let's hope nobody comes in for him before the end of the window! 

COYB!!

After a week of more non football talk than actual football talk it was good to get three points and win so comfortably. In fact I can't remember such an easy win in many years as we were in total control all over the field. Hopefully the attacking mindset Mowbray is currently in carries on as I really think that on the front foot we look far better and much more likely to win football matches. With so many attacking players at his disposal it would be crazy not to play to that particular strength.

Excellent performance today.  We are playing some really attractive stuff the way Mowbray has us set up this season.  I thought Williams was outstanding at centre-back - won everything in the air.  Johnson was a rock in front of the back four which is an ideal position for him.  He has strength and a terrific passing range.  Dolan is a really exciting prospect and Mowbray seems to be letting him have his head in terms of running at team.  Whatever we do in the rest of the window we must keep hold of Armstrong.  It was good to see us give a strong performance over 90 minutes and with not a weak link in the team.  A nice way for Mowbray to celebrate 700 games as a manager.  There will be tougher tests ahead but I must admit that I really like the look of how we are going about the job this season.  In a League that looks very open I actually don't think we will be that far away if we can keep our key players injury free.
