Nick - sorry, wasn't suggesting it's not possible for any team to improve. More that I don't know if these players specifically have a gear beyond yesterday, given they all played excellently by their own standards. It was meant to be a compliment!

It was a great view, Nick, and of Bish's fantastic save.

So in answer to the question - to improve, we need to better protect the space behind the wing-backs, especially on Asiimwe's side, and the midfield has to be far more aggressive and track runners better. Our set-pieces also need work.

nicander - It was a great game and an excellent performance, but helped that Barnsley were so open. It did mean they caused us more problems, by a huge margin, than any other team so far this season. The got in behind so many times and quite how they didn't score is incredible.

I was thinking about how we could improve on yesterday and I'm not really sure we could. Everyone played well. That is probably close to our top level of performance with the team we have. Great stuff. Like others, concerned about keeping Jackson and Cope for the season and beyond.

What a superb start to the season. If you pick say 47 points as the safety target, then we are already 19% of the way there and it’s still August with only 11% of the season completed. In great shape.

Well this is a lovely surprise. I like to come to my local coffee shop on Sunday morning & have a leisurely scroll through the wup to catch up on everyone’s thoughts & reactions to the game, was getting worried that was a thing of the past so happy to see the page loaded this morning I don’t post too often these days but regularly read back so it’s good to see you all back. Absolutely loved watching that performance last night & cannot praise JJ & his staff enough for what they are building but am slightly concerned that we need to get him tied down to another contract, I’m not naive enough to think that if a bigger/higher up the ladder club comes calling that he’ll stay but if & when it happens let’s make them pay to get him. I really cannot believe just how well we’ve started the season when if we’re being honest we were all expecting a long hard slog with a few thrashing’s thrown in so to see just how well we’re competing its just fantastic, there’s a long hard season ahead I know but I’m over in 3 weeks time & where I was thinking I’ll probably be coming to see us getting our arses handed to us on a plate I’m now really excited to see this team in the flesh. COYD & good to have you back WUP 💙💛

My eating habits changed after my first transplant in 2014. Pretty much eliminating sweet stuff, now always seem to be around 65-68kgs in new money

You must have had a decent view of our second goal today though Bert. MLD Joe looked to be moving pretty well today but said he didn’t know how long he will be out for. Have to say that I’m impressed with everyone towing the party line and not revealing any team secrets allowing JJ to surprise other teams. They have tightened up security fantastically and it must make it much harder for other teams to prepare against us. Loved today’s performance, one of the best games at our new stadium.

My appetite changed after I started working for Sainsbury's. My weight dropped from 12 stone plus to around 9 to 9.5 stone. Wearing junior XL training shirts for half the price of club shirts.

Spit: My appetite has totally changed. Not had a kebab since getting out, sweet stuff is at a minimum. Didn't finish my McDonalds to celebrate burger day nor the one attempt at fish and chips. Lots of soup though!

TBH, when Bert replied to my WhatsApp message a few days ago, I feared the worst. Thankfully WUP is back up and running. Umpteen folk mentioned it on Tuesday and today. Play nice people and Bert won't pull the plug again.

3 lots of wimbledon fans in the spoons tonight, smiles as wide as a Cheshire cat

7-1 at Aston Villa after taking the lead, definitely drowned our sorrows that day.

Be honest Bert,someone offered you a month of kebabs to open wup again.😂

I was at that 5-1 Bradford away game GrahamT in August 2012. I was also at the 6-2 Burton away game a few days earlier, when we were 6-0 down at one point after a Warren Cummings masterclass (he was so slow that he makes Matty Stevens look like Usain Bolt).

Lurker - it wasn't meant to read that way at all. A few days off and some of the reactions did me good. Still catching up on sleep and started cardio rehab but getting out and about can only be good.

Any news on Lewis’ injury?

We conceded first half goals in 2025 at home to Cheltenham (11-03-25), away to Morecambe (04-03-25), and away to Crewe Alexandra (11-02-25), so two of the three were crap teams, especially Morecambe, which was a shambles, although it's "funny" how the season turned out for the two teams though.

Thanks NickD. However you count them it’s good numberwang. If we can work out the 85+ mins then we golden. But that’s no criticism!

Trigger - yeah it includes the game at Gills, plus 15 league games and the three play-off matches. It's something like only three first-half goals conceded all calendar year - 34 games maybe?

On that statistical theme, we’ve not conceded inside the first hour of any of those 19 games and we’ve also not conceded inside the first hour of a competitive afternoon game in 2025

6mdm and NickD does that include Carabao Cup? I only counted league matches - not like it’s a technicality just working out whether I’d missed any.

Splendid result :)
