“Just about as comprehensive a victory as you are likely to witness.”

Views from berksimps following last night’s 2-0 win away at Yeovil Town in Sky Bet League Two: “Just got back. -4 coming through Bisham, frozen snow and ice and abandoned vehicles. A good trip; lovely staff at Yeovil encouraged me to take the dog in to watch the game rather than leave him in the car. That is a first.

Just about as comprehensive a victory as you are likely to witness. After the first ten minutes, they were almost in awe, we were physically stronger and more able, and stuck to a game plan which was never really challenged. We never got out of third gear, and never needed to; almost a training ground display which will not have overly tired the players for the Bury game at the weekend.

I guess the highlight was the industry shown by Danny Rowe, he also knows how to sniff a goal out when in the box. Akinde plays so much better when’s he is not marked tightly and realises he can beat players and make telling passes. Anderson was double marked for much of the game which afforded space to others. Everyone contributed positively, it would have been hard not to. Though Toff appeared very lucky not to see red for kicking their player in the head.

Finally, what a great effort by the fans, a superb turnout considering the distances travelled, getting back in the early hours, and temperatures around freezing.

Believe it: this squad is going to win the League.

UTI.”

More views from the Match Thread:

StrangelyBrown: “Comfortable and fully controlled game- reminded me of Cheltenham away, Had some nice passages of play, defended well (Shacks and Bolger looked very assured and Bolger will learn quickly from Shacks). Bozzie in midfield was like he only ever played there, Rowe was busy, Pett ran the middle again. In fact, I would prefer Rowe to Andrade at County (when Andrade ban runs out).

First time at Huish Park for me. Rubbish journey down and not much better coming back (snow, roadworks, diversions,). Home and away fans getting their refreshments from the same tea bar was novel and much more how football should be.

Couldn’t have gone better as a result and ready for Saturday now.”

mikeosullivan: “I thought that was one of our best away displays of the season and, for me, the first that made us look like champions-elect.

Boswick in midfield just in front of Bolger and Shackell made us look so secure, and allowed O’Connor to run the game. Rowe was superb and looks like the number ten we really need. Not that McCarten is bad, but Rowe will get into the box more and score more.

A significant upgrade this transfer window so far, and its now got me switching from wondering how we are top to thinking we will now stay there.”

PerthImp: “I watched the game on i-Follow and, to me, it was one of the most comfortable wins of the season, almost practice match in places. Lincoln were in almost complete control for virtually the whole game and Yeovil, as far as I can recall, never put up a serious threat. I don’t think Smith had even a semi-serious save to make. Yes, Yeovil had possession, but they did nothing with it.”
