Great win. Its never as easy place to go so to carry on our winning streak is fantastic.
Odd position of being in the playoffs, going one place up but still not being in our hands as a few of the teams have games in hand. But points on board are always preferential at this stage.
Some great fixtures coming up. Has Salford changed? I was sure it was rescheduled for next week. Seems not.

Oh Andy, you have a big thing about Defouneso, cant do a thing right in your book. Sounds like my wife and me.

I couldn't comment on yourself and the present Mrs Bonaparte?
But the Delfouneso comparison is exactly not it for me. Delfouneso most certainly can do things right, indeed extremely well at this level. He just doesn't do anywhere near enough of them which is, of course, why he has slid to this level.
He is an athlete so I don't think it's fitness.
Last night we saw on screen a couple of neat runs. A good pass to Jones for the goal. Three or four bits of good pressing.
We also saw a fluffed shot. Two or three times possession lost. A couple of tackles avoided and a third where he hesitated and got clattered for a red card. Plus one won header and lots uncontested. One pathetic one towards goal.
All those contributions were about par. But we saw nothing else on screen and this in one of his better games .
I just think that when he's on it's about moments and it's like playing with ten. Is it laziness? Heart? It's not skill. He has that.
I don't think he should start.

Only one Mrs B, in 50 years. But is he any worse than the others? say Isgrove, Sarsevic, Doyle, Maddison to name but a few. Is he played in his best position, does he get the service, yes you can say that about the others. No better, no worse in my view, but I admit, each to his own.

Come on boney, he’s much worse than the others because at least they all try for the time they’re on the pitch and put a shift in. As Andy says, Fonz has all the skill and ability to be brilliant but for whatever reason he just doesn’t. He has little cameos but goes missing for most periods of a game. We can’t accommodate bit part players like that if we are going to be successful, we have to have grafters and Fonz isn’t one. He could be useful off the bench but for me we have better options to start.
