I’ve seen a few 8-0 at Brissy
Rochdale
Colchester
Doncaster

But not a half away from home like this
Let’s hope this continues in 2nd half
Would be great to see a couple more goals and hit Exeter for 6

RW said in an interview words to the effect that he "put it on him and questioned him" which sounds like he got a kick up the backside he needed to get stuck into men's football. Massive change in his game and attitude from the early appearances.
Yeah, he has stepped it up a level, but I'm amazed people didn't see his ability early on. I was only at the Wrexham and Exeter games, but it was clear to me he was the most talented player on the pitch.

4-0 up and Kelman hasn't had a sniff, poor lad.

Looking at the stats there's no way we should be 4-0 up but, we've been clinical .

Can have all the ability you like but if there's no workrate or willingness to do the physical stuff there's plenty of Spurs U21 loanees we've had over the years who ended up in non-league that came with the attitude of being "too good" for lower league football.

And yes theres also the one notable one who knuckled down and had a brilliant career too.

Possession means absolutely nothing in football. It's what you actually do with the ball when you have it that matters

9-0 or 9-1 would be our all time record. I saw us beat Chester 9-2 60 years ago, but currently I think it's 8-0.

This going all a bit wrong. Losing Beckles for a while probably worse than throwing this game as well..
