    So good to see so much positivity about todays performance. For once, I don't think anyone who watched the game can pick a fault, they were excellent to a man. Felt so good to have everyone clap them off at the end.

    I completely get why the stands are empty and even people with season tickets are giving it a swerve. I considered it myself today. But the effort and commitment from the team today was fine reward for those that made it, and hopefully in the short term will attract the attention of a few more next time out. No-one is enjoying seeing the stands half empty.

    Regardless of whether CH gets the gig long term, it's beneficial right now to have a guy in charge that understands that the players need to give the fans a reason to back them.

    Well in Reds.

    Everything went right. From the first minute, we were on the front foot, and we never let up till the last whistle. It was everything those in charge keep saying we want to do.

    Clearly one swallow doesn't make a summer, but off the back of today I'd heartily suggest watching our next game if you can.

    Small home crowd of probably no more than 6k today but best atmosphere there’s been in ages.

    Really pleased with the result today, pleased for Conor and the players but most of all for the supporters that have kept going all season despite the cack often served up - they deserved that today.
