And I think it's always a good sign when a manager says we need to improve after a 3-1 away win. And so many more dangerous balls into the box today which we've lacked and that creates chances which create goals.

Spot on, Paul. I don't think many were too confident going into the game but the players did their jobs and did them well overall and under the circumstances
I think today probably sealed the fate of Blackpool and Wigan, so that leaves one spot and we'd be in it but for this great win. Bound to give the players a huge boost ahead of a tricky game versus Sunderland on Monday and there can be no excuses re tiredness, as Sunderland had a far tougher and demorakising game today than we did
I just hope our 'floating' supporters turn up on Monday and boost the crowd that will see 2500 Mackems in to support their team...
