Our games in hand being tricky ones! Don't get too carried away with 1 win!

That and the Walsall game are our 2 games in hand to other teams. Not winnable games, but certainly something we can get out of at least.
What the hell do you mean, not winnable? Of course they're winnable!!!

Although I loved our 5-0 win yesterday, there is no doubt this has clouded many of people's judgements. Yes we played well, but Yeovil were awful, just awful.
Going away from home in any game is going to be difficult, and a different kettle of fish to beating quite possibly the worst team in the league at the moment bar Cheltenham, at home.
I would love to see us win both games, but I can't see it happening. We have half a chance at Walsall, but that's it. Here's to 3 points anyway!
After yesterday im sure the players are feeling far more confident and the walsall players must be very down after losing 0-5 at home confidence is the key i think...
saying that it will probably be 0-0....

I don't think it's the win, it's the manner of the performance. We are witnessing a transformation from an embarassing performance at Orient which evolved to a poor first half at southend then a good second half which turned to a demolition of a poor team. Would Adams' team have dominated like we did yesterday? We'll never know but I'm guessing probably not. There are good reasons to be upbeat.

Confidence is the key and the players should have loads of it after yesterdays performance, There's no reason why we cant go to Wallsall and sneak a win especially after they got demolished at home yesterday and if Swindon slip up at home to an in form Southend the same night then we are out of the bottom 4 and our confidence grows even more.

I still believe we have a decent enough squad to give any team in this division a tough game. With players returning from injury we now have options to adapt to the different games we have coming up. There is no reason we can't go and get a result at Wallsall.
There is a long way to go but with the confidence gained from yesterday lets hope we can push on and drag a few more teams into the relegation mix.

We may be now, but I have every confidence that we won't be at the end of the season, which is all that counts.
Haven't we been here before? I'm sure we turned the corner after beating Man City, and did it again after beating Millwall 4-1. So, we've just turned (another) corner - I'm trying to keep hopeful, but I'm yet to be convinced we can sustain our form for more than one game.

Exactly. We have been in this exact same position many times this season after beating teams, only to be disappointing the next game (exception being Leicester and Millwall at home).
If we do well against Walsall and Scunny, then maybe we can get excited.
You can get excited when you like mate - personally, and without your permission, I am excited about both the result and the manner of the performance.

Easy tiger, I wasn't giving people permission to get excited. I was happy with the result and performance, but we were playing a piss poor Yeovil team. Get excited as you want, but beating the teams around us is only half the job.

It's a step in the right direction though and one of the things we've been failing to do this season, I know it's only one win against a poor team but the revival has to start somewhere.

Barndoor Holroyd
True, and believe you me, I want to get excited about the win but I can't. I'm going to hold off until we play another game or two before I join the "We are staying up" bandwagon!
