Enjoyed us controlling the tempo second half.

It was a bore fest but really controlled performance.

Lati keeps his spot at CB for me now.

not read anything on here yet. Bidwell made a huge difference, we were rock solid down that left hand side apart from one time where bidwell had two to mark as he was left for dead by our CBs.

Mason clark class obviously. Him and Bassette still not quite figured out their linkup.

Thought Lats was very good defensively. Dovin didn’t have much to do but when he had the ball made smart passes

Tats was okay took his chance well

Today I think is the furthest clear we've been of the drop zone all season. Let's see if we can go on a sustained run of decent form before jumping on that high horse.

second half obviously not a spectacle but it was what we needed - would much have preferred the clean sheet to a 5th goal

Bidwell not only better defensively but his far superior engine got him forward on the attack and in the press.

Reckless would be yellow
Excessive force endangering a player pumps it up to a red which is wait I saw
Very surprised he allowed a potential melee though

Just today he's been on about seeing zero positives under Lampard. Already as many clean sheets as MR managed in less than half the games

We remain unable to produce more than one or two good performances on the spin. Let's focus on that before aiming for the dizzy heights of 12th

We will do it if we stick with the same starting line up.

If we go back to Collins. Dasilva and Binks all bets will be off.

Good win. Plymouth were absolutely atrocious though. Millwall will be a better test of where we're at

haha- we were never, ever in danger of relegation. Not then, not now.

It was beyond negativity to suggest we were ever at serious risk of going down, only those with ‘an agenda’ or compulsively pessimistic were saying otherwise.

Collins makes some good saves too, it's the easy ones he tends to fuck up!

We are only 2 points behind Norwich, so presumably you also think they are in danger of going down?

It is possible for a team to be in a relegation battle at one point and then not be.

We were never going down ever , just silly talk tbh .

This run of fixtures we have now is nice on paper and we should try maximise the return .

Hopefully we can have a good second half of the season and push the top half

Plymouth were atrocious but still managed to make a couple of chances a better team would have scored from. Would have been nice for Eccles to get his third. Easy win but let's not carried away.

Yep. We had a big let off at 2-0. I think it’s entirely right to be cautiously optimistic. ‘Cautiously’ is the important word here.

TBF we’ve been great at passing it around the back and not being threatening all season. They’ve been training for this moment.

I hope so, but it's too early to tell.
If Eccles can add goals to his game regularly he'd be worth a tidy packet.

At least unlike previous seasons we haven't just left an injured player on to aggravate things.
