Views from PerthImp following today’s 3-0 win away at Accrington Stanley in League One: “At last, a ‘complete’ team performance of skill, drive, and commitment. Fully deserved and I am so pleased we have been able to put Accrington in their place. Ethan Ehrahon looks one hell of a player. So composed and dominant in the middle. His all-round game adds the missing dimension to the Imps play and gives everyone such a lift and confidence which has been missing. Ethan clearly MoM, but virtually every player did their part. Apologies are due to Shodipo – I was critical of his first-half performance. I’m guessing MK spoke to him at HT but the 20 minutes at the start of the second half he completely turned it around. Did Mk change it up and play him more through the middle? Excellent come-back from Lewis and great fighting performances from Ben House and Sean Roughan. Do we have the belief going forward? Are we better after the transfer window? Do we need to sack MK, as some suggested? If this is the start of his rebuilding, more of it, please. Well done Imps”

hulloutpost: “It doesn’t matter where Accy are in the league, teams don’t go there and win 3-0 at a canter.
MK has talked a good game and today he delivered a good game. He has come under scrutiny (fairly) recently and today we should give praise where it is due to him and the team. Outstanding stuff at a very tricky venue and light years from the absolute dirge that was served up there last year.”
Ruskingtony: “I have been very critical lately of the boring defensive tactics of MK. Also the poor recruitment by JG and his team. And have also been critical of the form of Bishop in midfield.
Today I have to be honest and applaud all 3 for getting it right, praise when praise is due. The most important thing for me is that we now carry this forward to next Saturday at home to Bristol Rovers. We certainly owe our fans a decent home performance.
Well done today to all involved in an excellent result.”
