A year ago we would have lost that. We're the real deal aren't we.

[Shannerz]

We lost control by taking two midfielders together at the end there, still, doesn't matter in the end.

Good character there.

 

[Mercian In Anglia]

Always feel we will get back into games atm, even at 2 down.

 

[RoysterE17]

Again we just done what needed to be done, I'm starting to believe!!

 

[Marty]

Great result. Thought Simms did well.

 

[fernandopartridge]

We played well in a 20 minute spell but either side of that wasn't the best, got the job done but should have been more comfortable than we were late on

 

[Briles]

Much prefer these results than the 5 or 6 nils.

Said afterwards not during

[skyblueinBaku]

A good win, but we made hard work of it.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

This complacency that’s been creeping in at home especially is concerning. Needs sorting

 

[fernandopartridge]

Thought Price was good for them

 

[Shannerz]

We’ve needed a red card a couple of times this season to help us see out the game. Can’t rely on that too many times this season.

good graft though!

I don't think that's true.

It's not a coincidence that we've had a lot of reds against us this season, it's because we force teams into mistakes by being so dangerous going forward.

10 points ahead of playoffs...crikey, wake me up...this must be a dream

 

[duffer]

Bit scary that one. EMC and JDS had relatively poor games, imho, but the team pulled together and Simms got properly stuck in.

Chuffed to bits with the result regardless, we're flying, loving it!

 

[Adge]

What metal we have! Didn’t look good at 0-2 down but we plugged away and got the goal just before half time-a great header from Eccles. Once that went in I felt there was only one winner.
“We are top of the league”

 

[SBT]

Far from our best but we have the depth in midfield and up front to overpower any team at home

TEN POINTS clear of third as things stand

 

[stupot07]

Thought Price was good for them

Campbell managed EMC well as well.

If Foxes beat Stoke then we will keep the 10 point lead today.

Manager of the month curse hasn't kicked in yet

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Nearly called it

Nope and we’ve cleared our heads from the international break.

Hopefully get into a run now.

 

[Macca]

Feels like everything going our way this year even when don't play particularly well

 

[sc1940]

If Foxes beat Stoke then we will keep the 10 point lead today.

Probable not, Hull & Millwall would be on 28 if they win

 

[duffer]

Fuck it, I'm calling it now. We are definitely staying up.

 

[Tommo1993]

Wish we didn’t end it so nervously!

 

[sc1940]

Nope and we’ve cleared our heads from the international break.

Hopefully get into a run now.

That's 9 wins out of 10 what more do you want?

[Liquid Gold]

Oh bloody Coventry have won again. They’ll be tough to catch this year

 

[Paxman II]

One thing that stands out for me is the confidence in the team that we will score, so no ones head drops when we go behind. When it was 0-2 they still kept their heads and kept up the relentless attack. And sure enough we score, and inevitably we would get another. What was impressive was the fact we just continued untill we got the lead and thereafter.
The last ten minutes we began to run out of steam, and the changes disrupted things, but yet again this team actually believes they are good enough and expecting to win, and a win from behind like that just adds to this belief.

 

[CovveeBreak]

I don't think that's true.

It's not a coincidence that we've had a lot of reds against us this season, it's because we force teams into mistakes by being so dangerous going forward.

both things can be true though. If you look back at the games where there has been a red card it’s been a bit in the balance.
Not saying we were always losing, but more that we didn’t look as certain as we have in other games.

 

[mrfr]

Obviously one shouldn’t get carried away but on measured reflection I think we might be the best football team in the world.

 

[Mercian In Anglia]

That's 9 wins out of 10 what more do you want?

someone to rebuild the old Courtaulds chimneys onto the CBS roof?

Can't be a massive powerhouse club without your stadium chimneys...

 

[wingy]

Campbell managed EMC well as well.

Apart from the assault where EMC was also carded, what was that about, absolute joke, referee was giving them too much leeway IMO.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Game over.

Some people just don't understand football do they.
