This is a fecking tremendous night to be a Wanderer. fecking tremendous. Beat those bucket-shaking c*nts on Monday and everything's within our own hands.

That's also 4 clean sheets on the bounce!

Great result.

Onward and upward.

Get in!

And cheers again to Tango for relaying the match from t'radio for us unable to go.
I'd have been chuffed to bollocks with a draw. Tonight is a statement of intent.

Millwall aren't very good. Any away point is good but I expected a win tonight.

Parky seems to be a streaky manager. Good runs and bad runs.

We are on a good run right now. Cracking result nonetheless.

Just a shame to pick up what seems to be another serious injury for a player just starting to shine. Ah well.

Well happy with this result :)
Hope Thorpe isn't badly injured, but pleased for the two goalscorers especially Wheater!! Am a happy bunny tonight :oyea:

Great win! Especially alongside the Scunny & Bradford results (did I ever think I'd care about how Scunthorpe got on?!). But, Sheff U coming up fast on the outside after their poor start: 7 wins in 9 for them.

4 wins on the bounce...how many games has Trotter missed.

Dunno about expecting us to win. We've generally been shit in London over the years, so happy for the three points, thanks. :-)

We've finally found a system we're comfortable with and finding the net. Great 3 points, can't wait to see the goals!

Well, I didn't see this run coming after the dreadful performances against Rochdale and Oxford! :shock:

I'll just post this here so that you can't remove it. I'll post it and say nothing whatsoever.

I started to worry when we lost three on the bounce but he's certainly turned it around since then, though I remember someone once posting that Parky's teams tend to be quite streaky so who knows. What has impressed me is that didn't take long for him to work out that Trotter and Moxey were our weak links and remove them. He wasn't afraid to drop Henry either, which suggests that he's the sort of manager to pick players on merit rather than reputation.

They'd lost four before that though. Not downplaying it. Just saying we shouldn't fear anyone. And I fancied us tonight.

Point at Bury though!

Bradford City v Sheffield United this weekend will certainly be worth keeping an eye on.

We used to call this sort of stuff deliberate "trolling" back a ways. I can't find where you predicted that win away against Millwall,Insaney? I'll have another look though. I seemed to hear that Romeo, Fred, Williams and Morrison caused us all sorts of agro tonight and our defence, including Ameobi were heroes. Must have got that wrong then?

He's now saying that it looks like he's done his ankle ligaments and could be out for a while.
