A superb performance from Rovers.
It is incredible the impact Dawes has made in a matter of a few weeks. From having no clear game plan, we now have an obvious pattern of play with Davies bowling the ball out from the back and the ball being passed through the thirds, a style which suits this group of players perfectly. The caretaker manager and the players certainly seem to fit hand in glove. We are creating chances at will, and all of the attacking players are performing with supreme confidence.
I thought everybody played well. CBT tore their defence to shreds and is finding the consistency that he lacked last season, but I thought Spearing pushed him close for man of the match. His use of the ball was excellent and he protected the back four with vital blocks and interceptions on numerous occasions. In fact, the whole team worked incredibly hard to win the ball back when we lost possession. Otis Kahn looks like the player we thought we were signing in the summer, taking players on and now scoring goals. Morris is back to his best. I was also really impressed with MacDonald's composure on the ball; he looks a natural footballer. Ferrrier and Lewis both did well when they came on, and the competition for places is fierce.
Grimsby actually had a couple of lively youngsters up front, but defensively we were untroubled and I don't think the opposition had a shot on target.
If the alternative to Dawes is A.N.Other journeyman manager, just give the job to Dawes.
