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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Wilson MOM loads of key saves today, vocal, I dont give a shit about his distribution he’s an old school goalkeeper. Also a lot of his aimless punts somehow found their way into a dangerous zone with Tats and BTA (when he came on).
BTA looked quality today, the ST we thought we were getting. Start him Friday.
Been missing Bobby and his dominance.
Bidwell looked so much better today.
We might have the best midfield 3 in the league, the balance, creativity, control they give us is essential.
Thought Haji could have done a bit better today but was by no means bad.
Simms needs to give more, his ball control was a lot better today but that should be basic, he needs to be more aggressive

I agree
He didn't have a brilliant game, but most certainly didn't have a bad one. He was a constant threat to their defence for sure
And as I said earlier, that one where he should have squared it to BTA, he couldn't. BTA was very clearly offside

Yeah.
We have to wait until he pulls on his Superman pants, round the back of the dugout

Maybe go for a 40's style American diner perhaps

The game set up nicely for Boro because they had a high line in the 2nd half. Nonetheless, Asante made a big impact and deserves the start v Sunderland.
100% - Haji was class today, the intent to take players on and score was there. That 3 v 1 he passed up on without even getting a shot off will be flagged in the film sessions. A moment of v poor decision making!

Out of the 2 of Simms and Hadji Simms was much better, Wright was bloody dreadful yet again today so thankfully Rudi stepped up to fill both their boots special mention for BTS (aka BTA) too, his cameo was just what we needed.
It was a nervy affair as the game wore on but the boys came through...still buzzing yee haaaa
