I would give Zouma MOM today...he is developing into a really good centre back....in fact the whole back four seems to be gelling and is the reason the team is progreesing...all credit to Hill for changing the mindset set of the players and supporters!

What a cracking game, two teams intent on playing football the right way and oh so different to the last three years, thoroughly enjoyable and successful as well. The ref attempted to spoil the game with his poor decisions and refusal to penalise Fleetwood obvious gamesmanship and diving but we got through despite him. There is a real togetherness forming within the team now and I think today proved that the players have caught up on fitness levels and battled to the last against a very impressive Fleetwood side. It’s still a tough climb but every win takes us closer to surviving and with the winning mentality now instilled within the team I don’t actually fear anyone now, home or away. I agree with others about Zouma playing well today but I also thought Chicksen did really well too against their RB and RWing combination who were very good together, always dangerous. I was also impressed with Lowe who never stopped in midfield but to be fair I thought the whole team was good today and that’s without some of our key players. I must say the Politic situation puzzled me and I thought tactically, taking off Verlinden and also moving Dodoo inside and off the wing weakened us and allowed Fleetwood too much room in the second half but as we won I’ll forgive KH on this occasion. So, onto the cup next week so let’s hope for another win and a friendly draw in the next round so we can either get an easier home game or a cracker against one of the big boys. I think this year I’d rather concentrate on survival and leave cup runs to next year. Lastly, well done on the result again Chip and shame on you for not giving us the Lotto numbers!!

Much has changed since last season but one aspect remains a constant- the stress of watching us defend a lead against the slowest ticking clock imaginable.
Fleetwood, except at the back and in the last third were the best team thus far seen and they moved it round our midfield constantly. Were we just a bit top heavy? But for all that I thought Lowe had a splendid game today. He never let them settle, drove them back at times and popped up everywhere the battle raged. He also got us moving forward at times.Luke Murphy too was very competitive and used the ball economically. Upfront Dodoo had the beating of his man every time which gave us a constant threat. Grady was a handful and Daryl Murphy held the ball up a time or two.
Verlinden didn't feature other than defensively today but he was playing more narrowly which left Chicksen short of options- I thought he wasn't at his best. Wright after a slow start and a quick booking settled into supporting Zouma and they mustered some excellent blocks.
Fleetwood for all their midfield possession were well marshalled and created little but for a couple of first half missed headers. Grady capitalised on a back pass amd Murphy was coolness personified taking his goal- I really thought he'd delayed too long at first but no.
A very good win against a good team. Politic all but got a third which was saved by the keeper for a goalkick. Politic then got clattered really hard , wandered dazed for a bit and the sub was subbed.
Great win, stressful to watch

Wright - 6 Booked early after a bad pass but steady enough Very harsh refereeing, How many suspensions would Liam Trotter have picked up with this new rule?

Brilliant win the team are having to get there match fitness up to speed on match days and it’s slowly but surely getting better and better. Still feel it will be the miracle of all miracle’s for us to stay up but all we can do is keep winning and leave the table to sort itself out. Some of the football we played today was very easy on the eye but we seemed to drop of a little bit to much in the second half which was allowing Fleetwood to come onto us but it will come onwards and upwards COYWM

Not much more to say, other than well played all and another big stride forwards. Good game, good win, let's hope for more to come.

Hope you lot will permit a short post from an irregular viewer of your forum. Very irregular actually.
It’s years, decades in fact, since I saw the Wanderers play, but I’m still interested in how they’re getting on and I always look at the result Saturday Teatime. Nearly always anyway. I forgot yesterday, and tried to find the result on my BBC Sport App. No joy. Then on my Sunday paper App. Again , no joy. So I thought of the. BWFC forum.
Glad I did. Glad to see about the further good win, and really glad to see the uplift in mood evident amongst the regulars. I know one or two of the contributors on BWFC also contribute on Your Views, and more of you cast an occasional eye over goings on there, so you'll know it’s a bit hard going at the moment, has been for two or three years actually, with numbers having fallen away to probably the bare minimum needed to keep its head above water.
So it just struck me to issue an invitation to the BWFC regulars to have a look at what goes on over there, and possibly spare us a post now and then, in the same way that Whites and Wots are regulars on both sides. I am struck at the quality of the threads on BWFC, and your contributions to our side would be most welcome. You don’t need an invitation actually, we’re all part of the same Forum. I wouldn’t want to seem presumptuous, its as much reminder as an invite
