Turns out Doug was right…. Top 6 deck

The value of a deck can be greater than the apparent value of the invidiual cards.its what got us to value for the wpwlayoaff final before.

They should add those three Boro players to the number of spectators

 

[StrettoBoy]

Special mention to Wilson who stepped up when needed today. He might not have the ball control with his feet like Collins, but one massive bonus was I didn't shit myself every time that the ball came near him.

I agree. Collins does distribute the ball better but the key task of a goalkeeper is to keep the ball out of the net and on that count Wilson is far superior.

so I got hammered on beer, pizza , weed and cocktails in CV5 tonight by mistake. Please can everyone in block 12 be quiet tmrw? Thx.

Turns out I was in block 10, soz to block 12.

 

[MalcSB]

And the stars aligned to bring this scenario just as we wanted, why the sweat?

Stars are no guarantee, worse than having heads in the clouds

The Alan Brazil Quotient

feel like he's more a pint(s) of wine bloke.

Don't understand what the panic was about.

We're the bogey team for Middlesbrough. Next up. We're the bogey team for Sunderland

Outside of Rudoni who is just a class above. Wilson was MOM. Great saves to keep them out and something I noticed was how verbal he was in communication.

Makes a huge difference

Yes I agree with this totally.

There were a few times that they got in behind our defence but he was there to clean up and get rid. His starting position was excellent.

 

[procdoc]

Top 6 deck, maybe Doug King knows what he’s talking about?

 

[Tommo1993]

Reckon Wilson will laugh himself to sleep tonight after having the entire home crowd shitting themselves after that bad touch early on.

 

[SBT]

Time to put some respect on Wilsons name

The biggest balls in the Championship. Lampard is second. Fucking brilliant.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

If wright can grab another hat trick next Friday I’ll be buzzing.

 

[ccfcchris]

The only player that disappointed today for me was Wright.

Need to look at the whole picture. Called the defeat against Plymouth. Said we would struggle against Luton. Predicted 2-0 against Middlesbrough today then would moan we only got two

Sunderland are there for the taking. Don't need any stars to help us with this

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Rudoni’s as good in the air as he is with the ball at feet, lost count how many headers he’s scored

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Put a 7 fold accumulator on this morning and Sheff U drawing v Blackburn cost me £2000 in winnings. Gutter.

Today’s result was never in doubt, from start to finish we were comfortably the better team.

5th place finish too, we should batter Sunderland over 2 legs.

I think it just means for me I give him the benefit of the doubt next time he makes a big call.

Didn’t need to rip up our way of playing to accommodate Wilson did we?

 

[Tommo1993]

It felt a little like this on the night, but even more so now; that big ‘top 6 deck’ conference feels a bit like I’ve been pulled into the managers office for a slapped wrist for gobbing off.

 

[stevefloyd]

BTS Is like a new man today

Train in Bangkok?

 

[SBT]

Didn’t need to rip up our way of playing to accommodate Wilson did we?

No! It was brilliant!

 

[Liquid Gold]

I reckon Wilson must just spend training pretending to piss on people with his water bottle and confusing Sakamoto with his accent or something.

Glad FL finally recognized the need to make a GK change and Wilson took his opportunity very well and like you said was in communication with the players especially when we were under some pressure at different stages in the first and second halves. Also I feel Wilson has some positive energy. Call it good vibes or karma or whatever. I don’t feel that with Collins at all.

 

[stupot07]

What a result and great performance, should have really been 2 up in the first 20 mins, and then rode our luck at times, some great saves by Wilson and the woodwork keeping us in it. Fantastic 2nd on the counter.

Fully deserved in the end.

I think it’s just trust. You know what you’ll get from Wilson where’s as with Collins, he can be great one moment and then pretty much throw the ball in the net

 

[Lamps]

We certainly didn't slowly play out from the back using the GK like normal. I'm happy with that. Certainly caught Middlesbrough out today.

He still scares the shit out of my with the ball at his feet, but agree he was MOTM.

Oh god that touch in the first ten minutes scared the shit out of me

 

[stevefloyd]

I think BTA is a better player than Simms.

I think my Gran is and she's been dead for over 20 years

 

[skyblu3sk]

I think my Gran is and she's been dead for over 20 years

I thought Simms started well today but faded after the first half BTA definitely brought the energy needed 2nd half.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Can’t believe I’m saying it but 100% start BTA if EMC isn’t fit to start on Friday. The power and pace he had bullied the defenders.

Not to mention the desire he had imo

 

[Sick Boy]

He had a very good game but he’s still prone to lapses in concentration, which is why I don’t think he’s consistently been a number 1.

 

[fernandopartridge]

The only player that disappointed today for me was Wright.

I think that's a bit harsh, his finish wasn't there but he was a constant threat.
