    We've bulldozed through much weaker teams than Peterborough, but I haven't seen us look so comfortable against a decent side (I didn't go to Peterborough away). We made them look poor when the league table shows they're not.

    Lots of good individual performances throughout the team who linked up very well together. Very encouraging.

    Be nice to follow it up with a similar performance and result against Charlton on Saturday.

    Dougal returning and this performance are intrinsically linked. I don't think we need a new winger or two new full backs, as much as we need to keep Dougal fit. Makes other players better.

    We only really looked like conceding when we made mistakes.

    Agree. Very comfortable and all of our own making.

    Agree. That lad is a class above this league.

    Agree that it was a good professional performance but I would suggest the performance at their place was better. We demoralised them that day and made it look like we didn't belong in the same division. We would have beaten most championship sides that day. I didn't actually go that day either but watched the whole game on stream and it was a joy. Rarely regretted more not being at a game.

    Especially as just like yesterday it would mean going above the team we beat and still having a game in hand over them.

    Nice to see a very positive response to yesterday.
    We came away from the game being very satisfied with the performance and couldn`t pick out a weak link.
    Then last night on here there seemed to be only qualified acceptance of our win and the thought that we should have been out of sight with the scoreline when the table shows that they are more than a match for most teams in this division.
    Just a point on the fullback positions - I`ve been critical of both this season but thought they had a solid game yesterday.

    Enjoyed it. When I saw the team I was a bit worried, thought we lacked width & support for Woodrow but it worked well.

    Woodrow was excellent & I thought the 3 central midfielders all did well.

    Do fans still vote for man of the match? Cavare had a decent game but he was never better than Woodrow in a million years. Strange one for me that. If it’s one sponsor picking it then fair enough but baffling if fans are voting.

    We look a lot better team with Dougall in there, his positioning is spot on. Clever player

    Just like with Hourihane, we need to enjoy and appreciate having Dougall whilst we can. He won't be here long. He'll soon move up the food chain.
