A little lucky WHU didn't score early in the 1st half. Type of luck we haven't had a whole lot the last two months. Still, sometimes luck is created. Some issues still need to be worked on but I'd rather have results and average play than no results and average play.

Confidence is a beautiful thing. Savio looked like last year's Savio.

Well i am going to rejoice in the win , you moaning twats !

We all know the problems but crying non stop in match threads is not going to make it happen

That's the spirit.

Also, I only post when we're winning.

agree with this every game no wonder the defence struggles at times. It’s the midfield we sort that and we will be back to our best.

The reality is it isn't that new

Look at the goals we were conceding last season, a lot looked pretty identical to each other, teams catching us in possession and we're unable to get numbers back. We got away with it more because we had a bit more legs but now we don't.

The warning signs were there last season I thought. There was a period where almost every goal we conceded looked identical.

I think it's almost unavoidable in the way we attack. Look how far we push the whole team up when we have possession. It's obviously been very successful but it also requires complete control, little room for error in terms of losing the ball and you need the legs to recover, which isn't really the case this season.

If we keep playing our usual attacking style while in possession, I don't see much changing until we get some new quality and fresher legs in the side.

Atmosphere was mint where I was. Maybe you're the problem where you are?

What he said!We are no longer a team that can get away with camping in the opponents half because the legs are no longer there to recover,once the inevitable slack pass has found the wrong shirt.We used to keep the ball quite easily for 20/40 passes,..now it’s more like 10/20,and not that easily either!?Tactics or personnel have to change now..simple as that.

2 Wins on the bounce and hell has apparently frozen over judging by the weather outside

As we were winning and of course eventually won, did everyone stay in the ground until the players were off the pitch? Or did we still have early leavers? :-) ;-

You do not stay to the very end if you rely on the Metrolink as your transportation.

I left at 4 minutes of the 6 added. (To suffer that pile of shit called Metrolink).

What pissed me off was the persistence of playing the ball round at the back with Ortega the main man. It doesn’t work when the players are incapable of finding a person wearing the same coloured top.

Akanji was by far and away the worst culprit.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Because we were 4-0 up and Kovacic was on a yellow?

Rico O'Riley and JimMc after 55/60 minutes.

Pep consistantly bemuses me with the timing and choice of subs/in- game management, particularily in a match situation like yesterday.

2 subs with a combined age of 70 and no running power v 2 with a combined age of 40 who can run like Powderhall sprinters !!

Call me old fashioned if you like,but........... ??
