Had to work hard for that but what impressed me most was the purposeful recycling of possession. Always getting out of tight spaces, creating openings and prising open a tight defence.

Another very impressive performance from Simms for me who’s in a rich vein of form and leading well from the front. Grimes narrowly MOTM ahead of him for me.

93rd min corner at 3-1 up. Every team in the land puts 3 men in the corner and runs down as much time as possible. We see it as an opportunity to get the ball in the box and score another goal! I FUCKING LOVE IT! Its a great mentality! Long may it continue. Granted, at 2-1 its a different story and you dont want to risk giving away a counter attack. But fuck its great to watch! I fucking LOVE this football club!!!

Simms has looked dominant in the air during the last 2 games. Where has this come from? I hope he keeps his place going forward. He has improved so much.

Coasted to victory. We had several more gears that we simply don't need for 70 minutes of our home games. All bodes very well, just hope these injuries are all short term as they're stacking up now

Just had a look at the championship top scorer chart.
His minute per goal is 74.
No one else comes close

Barring the opening half an hour where Charlton played well on the break, the result was never in doubt. Can’t think of a bad performance, Simms leading the line superbly again and bagging another two from ayard out.

Was concerned in the first half with the lack of cohesion between MVE and rudoni down the right with Tats being out, but as the game wore on it improved massively. Noticed a fluid rotation between Rudoni, Eccles and Torp down the right/in the middle, kept Charlton midfield guessing for large periods.

All in all, a fairly routine win and we move onto probably the hardest game so far this season. A point would be welcome, but you’d never bet against this team bagging all three! PUSB

Not necessarily, EMC was very good today and Wright will have to earn his place again. Not a bad problem for Lampard to have!

He’s a strange player to me. As Gordon Strachan once said he’s a world beater one minute and a carpet beater the next. I just can’t figure him out.

He holds it up so well though out wide and allows overlaps and stops the ball coming back at us all the time .. was really good today

When Wright’s back you could just as easily start him down the middle alongside Simms, as was originally intended

Ellis Simms has now scored a goal for every 74 minutes he has played this season. This is identical to Erling Haaland.

Most wingers want the ball in front of them and to face up to the defender and take it from there.
He seems happiest holding it up with his back to his man like an old fashioned no 9 and then seeing if he can fashion something.

Comfortable routine win after the first thirty minutes.

It’s just mental. 10 points difference from second and 12 from third. Keep waiting for us to do a Coventry but we seem to just press on.

Ipswich a big test now

To be quite honest, I wouldn't mind Haaland here. Good option to bring off the bench for us, when Simms tires

I think 106 is the highest ever. Most of the Div 2 era it was 2 points for a win

Since I appreciate I defended the referee midweek, I want it known I think David Webb is blind for not giving the penalty on MvE in the first half.

Even from block 11 it looked a blatant penalty, and probably a red card too. Shocking decision. Same prat that refused the blatant pen and red card for Stoke at home last season too, wasn't it?
