3 great goals. Such a shame kelechi's effort didn't go in for the last one but still unbelievable

For all the grief the club and Rudkin got in the summer, you have to say that it appears they knew what they were doing to get us back up.

I still refuse to believe this

Outstanding. A masterclass in possession football, superb goals, great passing and  top of the league. PNE were totally outclassed from minute 1 to minute 90. A joy to watch. Patience is the key.

[Mike Oxlong]

We are staying up say we are staying up 

[Swarles Barkley]

Half time I was sure that we would either draw or concede. How wrong I was!

Enzo is the messiah

[Goober]

Different gravy. Real fun watching us right now.

 

KDH goal threat from midfield is big for us. Really happy that it's clicking for him

[cityfanlee23]

Great result, another game of two halves, we really need to be faster in the first half of these sorts of matches as we made it way too easy to defend for PNE, ended up needing a stroke up luck to open up the game, but that luck was created by us playing with more intent and putting the pressure on.
We are a fantastic team when we play offensively. We knew PNE would park the bus and overall they played to their own strengths, but once we got that goal we became a completely different team as they tried to get one back. Overall a really great result, equalling the best start in championship history.

Standard. Look a but slow and ponderous first half but once you get the goal we can pick them off as they tire. And every single team has looked dead by the end. 

Again lovely to see us passing the ball at the end when the opposition as gave up the will to run after it.

 

Quality shines through again. Even if we aren't playing well we just know something will come.

well worth waking up for the second half after enjoying 45 minutes kip 

[Milo]

I’d actually be quite happy to stay in the Championship and win it each year 

[MPH]

Only ten games in and already 7 points clear of third place..

 

 

blimey.

[Tielemans63]

Teams don't know how to play us. Once 11 men behind the ball doesn't work, they've got nothing.

 

Enzo is an absolute diamond.

[Dahnsouff]

As @Col city fan said, it is the way we play and I assume will continue too against a determined low block, we just have be patient.

 

Impressive again, albeit eventually 

[EastAnglianFox]

Honestly I don’t think we’re even out of 2nd gear yet.

Fvck off Rodgers

 

[trabuch]

We've got 11 (or more) of the best players in our league and it always seems to show in the end. Nice tweaks by Enzo - he seems to know what he's doing that lad. It's going to be a weird season, I expect bus parking at all our home games and most of the aways.

[Daggers]

Maresca is phenomenal. Our squad is exceptional at this level. Our fans (especially on the MDT) need to wise the fvck up and chill the fvck out. 
 

Calling it now, we are champions.  

[Number 6]

80 more points.

[420Hashish]

Who needs sex when you got Enzoball to watch? 

[FoxTimmy2]

The difference between the championship and the premier league is just too massive, it’s a joke really.

[Corky]

Biggest thing this season was the attitude and it is spot on.

 

Quality will always shine if the commitment is there.

5 subs has really helped us turn the screw when teams are flagging and it's great for squad rotation too

[kingfox]

We went up a notch when Nacho came on, a quality 30 minutes from him 

[Cincinnati Fox]

Enzo knows ball…….

 

Enzo on Preston Tonight 🗣️

“It will be a game where we need to be patient and think that we can win the game in the last half an hour or 20 minutes, because it won’t be easy. They will be there defending all together, so we need to be patient and continue.

[Lambert09]

love this team right now, not a player to worry about (excluding a currently underperforming highly talent loan player from chelsea) 

[Jakemoore]

I’ve seen us win several league titles. But I don’t remember seeing us finding it SO easy. I mean, it’s just mental. 
 

Absolutely loving it at the moment.
