What a day, what a season, what a team (and what a manager).

Firstly let's be absolutely clear here, at the moment AFC Wimbledon are the best team in League Two. That may well change as the season progresses, (it wasn't the case earlier on in the campaign) but right now if you took a snapshot we are clearly the best team. 

We proved as much again yesterday. Bradford came into it on the back of their best run of the season and although they were beaten "only" 1-0, we did it with plenty in hand. Like a jockey on a horse which is far superior to his rivals, we coasted over the line while our rivals toiled and shoved themselves breathless. The result was never in doubt once we'd gone in front, it rarely is.

And as I saw our potential subs warming up, it dawned on me that our superiority was not just on the pitch, it was off it too. Their lightweight attack in the absence of Andy Cooke cried out for a Joe Piggot type, he'd walk into their team. They totally lacked the searing pace & emerging star quality of an Aaron Sasu, he too would easily start for them. I think Jonjo O Toole would have handled Omar Bugiel far better than any of their centre halves did, Myles Hippolite would stroll into their starting eleven in midfield. Don't even get me started on Marcus Browne, he's got no business whatsoever being at this level for them nor us, he's a ridiculous addition.

They would likely have the biggest budget in the league two, and our squad is a county mile superior. And we showed it. I felt a little sorry for Owen Goodman, bugger all the do other than kick it sometimes. The defence is absolutely watertight, the midfield combative & creative in equal measure, the front three bristling with intent, aggression and skill.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that we have a shot at winning the league, not just going up. The top three ought to be easily within our grasp, but I think we can go for the title.

And who's it down to? For sure Craig Cope has done an incredible job. He's very handy for those fans (like myself) who were Jackson OUTers, he gives us an opportunity to go "AHHH, but if it wasn't for Craig Cope". No doubt there's something in that too, but let me tell you for nothing that this is an extremely well managed group of players. The shape is great and drilled down to the finest margins, they work for each other like they are brothers in a pub kick off and they have a huge desire to do well.

Yes the manager has been handed an excellent squad, but he is doing a superb job. Fair play Johnnie Jackson, you have proved a lot of people to be utterly wrong, me amongst them. COYD
