Before they scored, I said to my mate ‘we’ve got the beating of this lot’ and almost like a jinx, Sheff U battered us and deserved to take the lead.

A lot of people calling for BTA to play LW will see that on today’s evidence, it won’t work. BTA looks awkward at LW imo.
EMC didn’t play particularly well imo, but somehow changed the game! Hes a lot more comfortable receiving the ball out wide and dribbling past defenders than BTA. Idk the niche tactical tweaks, but BTA operates at a better level at RW than LW.

Thomas MOTM for me, he is by far our best defender and the attacking threat he holds is better than anything we have. Directly involved in the 2 scrappy goals we had to take the lead!

Those of you that didn't/don't want EMC in our starting eleven. Hang your heads , you don't know football.

We were fine until their goal went in and looked the better team. Their goal was against the run of play and people on here were saying otherwise - they were wrong. Once they scored though we were shite until 2nd half
With the EMC sub, no disrespect to the man as he was good, but he could have been any warm body that hugged the touchline, it’s what we needed. Width / a natural wide player. BTA was better when playing centrally that second half anyway.
Stand by my comment, bet we do, which as usual will still be a fine achievement

Surely the one below takes some beating?
Proper Blitz spirit from us
Probably Racist etc though for some.

Ok the weeks may have been frustration but we won't hold this position. Delighted with the win though

Half of these are perfectly understandable in the moment stuff! The other half however…
Let’s just say I’m glad the players don’t think like this when we go 1-0 down

Not how I saw it. Had a spell when we did but at half time I'd seen plenty to leave me confident we'd turn it round.

I was proud of our fans reaction to the Sheff U goal. Immediately with a very loud “sky blue army”. There are always some individual whoppers in every fanbase but on the whole we’re pretty good.Half of these are perfectly understandable in the moment stuff! The other half however…

Without the sub at half time we probably would have carried on the way we were .. slow poderous and disjointed

You win comment of the year. I'm in France but followed BBC - match thread brings me out in a rash

Looked to me like we’d gone back to some of last season’s bad habits and confidence wasn’t there. Lampard alluded to as much after the game and the tempo was much better after half time.

We definitely need a left winger, but EMC, much as I have always liked him, does have to up his game. Rather than giving all the credit to EMC, it might have been something said by Lampard at half time.

7 clear (effectively 8 with GD!)

Indeed and the EMC song was great at the start of the second half before we scored.

I like him as a player but thought he was poor last night.

Great result last night.
Worried the occasion and Wrexham might of dragged us down after the first goal.
Contrary to others, I thought the first half was not too bad just lacked some energy which EMC helped when he came on.
Need to go at Stoke like we did in the second half. Huge potential lead in the league if we manage to win and results go our way

We were well on top before they scored, they were on top afterwards.
Second half was ours. It was a thoroughly deserved, if imperfect, win.

McCallum, O’Hare, Hamer and that winger from Sweden would round the squad out nicely. Get it done Doug.
It did come after our biggest period of momentum first half, but against the run of play is a little exaggeration.

They pressed hard on Grimes last night and I think that will be the pattern moving forward but he's such a good player he adapted to it.

Looks fine to me.
The idea we could keep winning games so comfortably and by big margins was silly. Plus, it's football, you get odd results that don't reflect the game. Like Norwich and Oxford.
It's great we seem to have the ability to win tough games and not let going s goal behind affect us. I guess that's the confidence they can have when they know the team has goals in it.

If that was the case why would he be linked to the prem and an £8m move
