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

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

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
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

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

He was great, even when he looked like he fell over Bidders it led to our goal lol. Great performance and I'd rather he kicked long decisively than fanny around and potentially bugger it up. Well done Ben, well done Frank.
Hmmm.. Frank and Ben

Maybe they could open a chain of restaurants between them

Maybe go for a 40's style American diner perhaps

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

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.

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

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!

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