    Strong enough team to get a win. And even more exciting, a really impactful bench too. One of the kids is ill, so absolutely gutted I can’t go tonight as really enjoyed the increasingly great atmosphere and I imagine todays will be another step up. Plus who doesn’t love a night game. 2-0...

    Josh Eccles

    Personally feel he has a lot more to offer. I wouldn’t but surprised if we see more of the player maker side on show if we play the box with COH and Allen/Palmer ahead of him. And/or wing backs playing more offensively. Made the point before, but the performances of players like him and Sheaf...

    Bidwell & Panzo V Maatsen & JCS

    It’s a shame we don’t have a Maatsen like player (I know we tried and it all went weirdly wrong with Adaramola), as while Bidwell has massively stepped up and shown he is a solid Championship defender, if we do revert back to playing the football of last year he’ll struggle to offer an offensive...

    Ben Wilson

    The stats don’t lie and on paper he’s doing very well. At this point is not just the poor form of Moore, Wilson deserves the spot. Granted, he hasn’t had loads to do but when called upon he’s done what’s needed. He’s also clearly growing in confidence. What can’t be argued is his ability to...

    Does anyone have any footage of the players / fans interaction after the game (other than the bit on the Stoke video Hill shared)? Was reminiscent of the camaraderie and connection between fans and players last year, good to see its returning along with a general feeling of positivity.

    Absolutely brilliant result. I sort of get, but never shared or agreed, some of the panic at the start of the season. But now even the biggest cynics (half this forum) have to be feeling positive. Massive feel good feeling tonight. Have a beer and enjoy your night chaps!

    Absolutely fantastic!! Well done Hamer - absolutely anonymous first half but he’s turned up now and having one of the games where he shows what he is actually capable of!

    Great run from Allen and well found by Hamer. They’re going to have to play on the front foot now should mean more space for runs like Allen just made for the goal.

    It’s a poor and essentially non-existant performance; we’re offering absolutely minimal and aren’t playing football. It’s very much defend and try to nick something. It’s worked a few times as we’ve had a handful of semi decent opportunities, but the final ball or decision has let us down...

    Surprised they are where they are with their squad, especially their attacking options. Dabo was poor on Wednesday which was especially frustrating as I thought he’d found some form. But I would keep him today - they have a lot of pace offensively. Hamer for Sheaf is the obvious one and him...

    Two and a half hours on from FT, and still absolutely delighted with the result. Really do feel like the corner is being well and truly turned. And with COH to return, players improving their match sharpness and confidence growing, things can only go one way.

    The amount Vik gets fouled, whether it’s a push in the back or a shirt pull is ridiculous. Same will happen once COH is back too, he’s constantly tackled late or has his shirt pulled. And so so rarely given on both.

    What a result. Average performance but we won. And that means more. Momentum on our side and still got COH to return. Atmosphere fantastic and was needed and was a very tense last 10 minutes. Worst officials performance for a long time. Linesman constantly behind play. Feel good feeling...

    Red and linesman on the side of the dugout are probably the worst combo I’ve seen. Linesman is constantly yard behind and I’m not even being biased.

    Impressed with the early change. Just Godden/Allen for Waghorn or Taveres/ Palmer now please.

    Make an impact Hamer - have one of those influential games without getting sent off. Tbf, for all his faults, we do need his creativity.
