That 3rd goal, he was 2 yards out at the far post. Could've easily tried to nod it in himself, but instead knew a teammate was better-placed and teed up Broady. Marvellous. He's proving an excellent focal point for this team and even if he finishes the campaign on 8-9 goals, he'll have proved his worth multiple times over. |  | | |  |

He does a very selfless job, occupying defenders and dragging opposition defenders across the pitch, it frees space for the number 10's to do the damage
Hopefully he continues to grow, I still think if we were promoted we may look again at Strikers but that's not an issue we have to worry about for a while |  |

There's no doubt he's probably not a Premier League striker - at least not yet anyway. But he's another that's growing with the club - and by all accounts, he's a really nice young man to boot. | | | |

Would prefer him not getting booted but if he is a nice young man to boot then I hope he is savvy enough to make sure we get the penalty... |  |

He was very good again yesterday, he's got a bit of everything. His decision making for that third goal was superb, would have been so easy to try and squeeze it in himself but he gave his mate a tap in and guaranteed a goal when it would have been a tricky chance for him at the back stick. If he can add a few more goals he'll do well, did brilliantly to carve out that one on one but just needed to put it a foot wider of the keeper. Decent reaction stop from Woodman though, from behind the goal he got his foot out well and quickly to stop it slipping past him. |  |

Ditto Hutchinson on the 4th goal. I think in earlier games this season he would have had a shot, but got his head up and saw that a pass to Jackson was the best option. |  |

Great hold up play as always. He actually seems to get very few chances. The one notable one yesterday he made himself through some slick footwork to beat the defender. He’s heavily marked which has freed up Chappers and Broadhead to get into scoring situations (as an aside I can’t believe they left Chappers unmarked for THAT corner. We’ve seen him do that so many times so assume Lowe didn’t do his homework there).
At some point I imagine opposition tactics will pay more heed to Chaplin and Broadhead and Hirst will get more space in good positions… | | | |

Hutchinson has been superb lately. Scoring goals, getting assists, fantastic contribution from him since the last international break. | |

Not meant as a dig at Edwards, who I loved watching, but the difference in output between Hutchinson and him is pretty remarkable. |  |

Indeed, think he already has more goal contributions in 2 months than Edwards managed in 2 years, and I say that as someone who always liked Edwards. | |

Think that's why one came to us at 22 or so in League One and the other on loan at 20 or so in the division above.
Hutchinson is another Maitland-Niles type loan isn't he? Hope he gives us lots of memories this season. |  |

He works as hard or harder than I can remember a striker of ours this century. Kuqi is the probably the obvious comparison.
Should have scored that chance on his left foot though. |  |

Watch the replay from the elevated angle behind the goal.
Three blockers clear that space out for Chappers to run into.
Straight off the training ground.
But it was still a fantastic finish and the same angle shows just how good.
Keeper had no chance at all. | | | |

Was going to type the same thing - you beat me to it.
The maturity of a 19 year old future star of the game to be so unselfish and pick Jackson out was remarkable. How many of us would have been at all surprised if he had taken a shot - he had time, a good angle and a chance to seal the victory - but instead he just rolled on a plate for Jackson to pass into an open net. Says everything you need to know about the team spirit and the focus of the manager. | | | |

Regarding the corner, there's this in Lowe's post match comments
“We knew what was coming with the first one - we showed it them yesterday and worked on it all week. We just watched it back with them and that’s the disappointing part, because [coach] Peter [Murphy] works hard on them and gives them all the information.
“It was probably a lack of communication with that goal, a player thinking someone was going to block the pass and they’ve got attracted to the man, not the ball. That has been a bit of a killer." |  |

Hutchy crossing to Kayden for a tap - in was actually one of my favourite moments on Saturday
What a marvellous demonstration of team play, unity and strength.
Big kudos to the young lad for a selfless pass to absolutely nail the 3 points
It is almost impossible for me to describe how much I love this club, this team and our progress since Gamechanger changed the game |  | | |

Yes we can, and his work rate, but...and a big but...he should have put his chance away. |  |

…if Kieffer Moore can play in the Premier, George Hirst will absolutely be able to play in that league at some point. He’s been absolutely fantastic and seems perfect for the role he’s now in. |  | | |

He proved his worth just with that Barnsley goal! |  |
