Up until 80 minutes we were absolutely awful lets be honest.

Massively under pressure, pressed in, panicked back line.

Then it just came to life not only after we tweaked the system, Rudoni came on and Boro started to tire.

The never say die attitude is pretty incredible to watch.

“Absolutely awful” is a fucking shocking take

We've had to go to 2nd place twice, and won both.

We really were. There were 20 minute spells either half where they could've genuinely scored 5 as well.

The miss by Conway should've sealed the game for them.

I think wright prob a week away. Be good for Simms to know he's getting 90 mins every game

But agreed if he got injured would pose a problem. Maybe Woolf in defence and kitching upfront!

There's no argument to make really. We were dreadful for large spells either half.

The commentators also said the same.

But we've got the win that's all that matters.

That was big. Like the point away at Mansfield big. Simms was outstanding, top class hold up play. And Carl Fucking Rushworth. That moment when they looked to be through on the half way line and he just appeared to sort it...

Thomas and Kitch are like the Kray twins. If one fucks up the other will sort it with furious vengeance.

Boro were the best team we've played this season and we've done them 4-2 on their own patch.

I love this team.

SBA knackering my tv speakers as usual, safe journey home you magnificent lads and lasses.

PUSB!!!

He’s just walking around creating with every pass. What a gift to have him and Grimes in the team with Torp breaking up play as well. Enjoy it!

I think there's a lot of tired legs in this team which is causing the opposition to be granted more freedom and opportunities than before. That said, Championship teams have just not proven able to take these opportunities-top flight ones clearly would do and mercilessly so.

We really weren’t awful. Didn’t have control of the game and looked a bit open, but at the same time we were very dangerous on the break.

Let’s not forget we were away at 2nd in the league…

Remember those St Andrews years, that L1 relegation season and the L2 redemption.

Means even more if you do.

I love Ellis - scores his second, in celebration starts to break out into some kind of chicken dance then checks himself and returns to his normal self

It's certainly a factor, but I also think as a back line we've reverted to old ways and previous bad habits have started to creep back in, most notably in losing concentration at times.

Last block of games has highlighted that but thankfully we're so ruthless in attack it hasn't mattered.

Just something to watch and correct for future fixtures.
