Good relative to our humble status, not brilliant. Superlatives should be used sparingly.
Perhaps this will become apparent as you grow up and develop some more interests in life. Things then fall into place and relative importance in the great scheme. For example, when you reach puberty you may develop and interest in girls (or boys, sheep, cardboard boxes, ..., etc).
So, just a tip, try and keep things in perspective so that you don't come across as a complete drooler.

I shall just ignore your inane ramblings which doubtlessly belong in a playground along with other like minded peers.
Every week the attitude and work rate of this current squad is spot on. They don’t allow the opposition any time on the ball what so ever. I find the tactics from John Hill and his coaching staff, together with the application of those instructions, by the players, to be the real brilliance in the performances most weeks. Granted, we all have off days.
We have a clear game plan and we clearly do homework on all sides we come up against. I can’t give enough praise on our management team for this. The above is typified by the fact no team has achieved the double over us this season.
The two classic examples of this are the Leek at home win and the Coalville away win. Wins which occurred after we were out played in the corresponding fixture.
We never really looked in danger of losing at home to Leek and at Coalville we dominated the first 25/30 minutes of the game and once we got the would be winner we sat back and defended valiantly. There were a few hairy moments, but this is to be expected at home to one of the top sides in this league.
On to Saturday’s game, I thought we were brilliant on Saturday and I suggest a good majority will concur. Was it a classic and vintage Yeltz performance? No, not at all, but at this stage of the season it’s all about the clichéd ‘squeaky bum time’ and ‘it’s not the performance that matters it’s the result’.
If you use the ‘the opposition weren’t good’ line then for a minute ask yourself why they didn’t look very good. Because our players make a lot of teams look average through work rate alone.
I don’t think the result ever looked in doubt; I thought we played some good football at times, some of Macca’s passing and through balls are top class. I feel Danks was a man of the match contender as were Joe Hull, Tilt, Green, Macca, Ben and Christie, who would be my choice. But as AV said above it was a real team effort and one to be proud of.
To score 3 goals and keep a clean sheet against a decent outfit is a decent day’s work for me.
When you look at the facts; we are now on a run of just one defeat in ten games, keeping eight clean sheets in that process.
So considering the above, if I use a lot of superlatives to describe a one off performance or indeed this season then I am more than justified. We have a great squad at the moment who are turning in great performances week in week out.
