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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
