Rather have the points on the board than games in hand. Nothing worse than a fixture backlog and long midweek away trips.

Was wondering if Joey will rest a few players for the Accrington game. Three games in seven days are surely too much. Not ideal to have leg weary players for next weekend!

Each game we have this defensive situation makes it more worthwhile to do all we can to get Conor Taylor back… record signing on a 4 year permanent deal please! Problem is that none of us know if Stoke want to sell (their owner hardly needs the £'s) or if CT wants to return. Plus CT might not be as good in L1 as he was in L2. I wonder if we are genuinely in for the Brighton CB? I thought it was midfielder Marc Leonard we’d been linked with from Brighton, currently at Northampton on loan. Haven’t heard of a centre back from them that we’re in for but would like a name if you know?

My mistake he's a CM not a CB, although Northampton's manager, JB's mate!, claims he's staying to see our his loan anyway

Rovers are in the unfortunate position of having to rely on multiple clubs losing their games in hand. Portsmouth has games played four fewer games than the Gas. Let's not get carried away! Oh, all those closing-stage goals conceded. You do realise we're only just over half though the season, so it's not like there's just a few games left to play. If we carry on winning games we won't have to worry about other teams dropping point. Exactly. We'll have to play many of these teams too which will nullify one of their games in hand so long as we keep doing our business.

A hard but well earned and very welcome 3 points. Admittedly we hung on in the second half but produced some beautiful attacking moves in the first half and deserved the win. Onwards and Upwards!

Good first half but disappointing second. We couldn’t get out of our half for long periods. Did we have a shot in the second half? A better side than Cambridge would have made more of their possession as Belshaw didn’t have a shot to save.
But even if, somehow, they had scored I think our boys would have got their act together to score again. A long way to go this season and nothing is beyond us.

Relax, the Boys will be fresh. We only play 45 minutes per game. We’ve got another gear for the business end of the season. JB Tactical Genius.

Plenty of time. As soon as we start playing for 90 minutes we are gonna rack up some big wins!!

Cambridge's sub Liam Bennett looked very good to me, only 21 and just back from a loan at Walsall who's majority of fans say he was outstanding for them. Someone to keep tabs on especially if Cambridge go down.

Reading comments like it was an inept second half made me chuckle a bit because not every game is going to see us banging in goals and creating chances galore, sometimes you have to dig deep and defend for your life. That’s exactly what we did second half, at the end of the day Belly hasn’t had a save to make in that second half, which to me is testament to the backs to the wall display. I’m glad we showed the ugly side of the game, because we’ve come in for a lot of stick defensively. Of course we could have been better in possession at times, that mess of a corner from Coutts, Finley and Evans’s in particular was a disaster to watch, but we got the job done. And let’s not forget it was a win with yet another defensive line up, we just just can’t settle because of injuries or JB tinkering can we.
When you look at the game as a whole we relied on coburn and Collins to create the magic in the first half, we managed to beat their press with balls into the feet of the strikers and it paid dividends with the 2 goals. I’ve been saying for weeks that our wing backs don’t play like normal wingbacks as we try to keep possession and open up gaps, but between them they created one chance all game, just one time they got behind and we scored with a great ball from hoole. We just don’t play a style that allows our wingbacks to do that regularly enough for me. Stand out performances I thought from Thomas, Connolly, Gibbons (wise to put him at RWB when hoole started to get the run round from their left hand side), Hoole (eventually settled into the game after a shaky start) and Coburn who battled for every ball and looks to have improved his hold up play. I’m happy to see us win ugly in the end.
