• Same line up apart from Gana, no harm in resting him after such a quick turnaround of games, even though he played well against Newcastle. Surly playing Burnley we could give Armstrong or Rohl some minutes. ...

• Good post Ian @ 193. Succinct and to the point. Yesterday’s performance doesn’t need an essay to explain itself - it was there for everyone with a footballing brain to see for themselves…...

• Ian 193. If players don't perform, is that the managers fault ? Players decide matches. Managers can only have so much influence. Tactics were pretty similar to all season yesterday. I thought the difference yesterday was the speed we tried to pass the ball, not hoofing it, getting closer to each other in the middle and wide, players following their pass foward to play one twos, pressing higher, in packs, not singular. It helped that beto held the ball well yesterday, and that they were going all our for goals, leaving space for us. It's the same defensive shape, same players. The players need to be more consistent, find that energy at home, chase and press like yesterday. Gana, Ndiaye & KDH all looked like they were back to their best after injury and afcon. Hoping more of the same on Tuesday! ...

• Ian Bennett I have long since come to the conclusion that you don't watch our games. Thats why every argument (and I do mean Every single argument) you put up on here is driven by inaccurate stats somebody else has compiled The rest of us saw the team start on the front foot. Before we even scored. We saw a couple of last ditch challenges from Newcastle to deny goal scoring chances. We saw Ndiaye burst away from a couple of defenders and fire just over. We saw Brantwaithe score. We saw McNeil have a shot saved. We saw Beto follow up and score. We saw McNeil force another save from Pope. we saw Pope foil DH too. We saw Beto go through alone only to see his shot come back off the crossbar. We saw three sublime moments of skill from McNeil. We saw three of our players hunt down a Newcastle player deep inside his own half for Barry to score. We saw Four of our players in their box for that goal We saw our team attack with aggression and purpose, pushing 3-4 players up eve...

• Chermiti has scored 2 cracking goals today. He looks a right unit now, filled out a bit as well. But those 2 goals he scored today were excellent, an overhead kick that went in like a rocket, and a good classy finish for the second. ...
