Agree about Winks and Mukasa. Feel for Winks because of the bad press he gets, but I do think previous managers treating him badly. For me they had little empathy or understanding for his situation and then were happy to put the team and supporters at a disadvantage for their own agendas. No respect at all for RVN.

Yes agree. Abdul should had a hat trick with two finishes, he hits the target he scores and Mav did his usual only goalie to beat ultra casual effort off the post. Thought the game plan was solid, the players still sometimes have teflon feet, but the effort and application was there. Skipp absolutely superb, though both centre backs did well and Abdul very threatening. The rest all contributed so credit where credit is due, well deserved win, against who imo are nowhere near the worst team to come to us.

Tend to agree. A lot of our toxic fans will jump on any decision to suit their agenda of dissing the club. Personally I think Top should have done something, but he would defo have got slagged off by some “fans” for living in the past and not focusing on survival this season.

Memories of 1970. We were second div, they were first div. Went down on the football special train. Four hour journey. Got there, 1 nil down, but JF got a second half equaliser. Replay, think we were 2-0 down, but Lochhead got a couple and we won 4-2 in extra time. One of the great nights. JF scored again!

Fully agree. Out of his depth at this level. Think he’s been poor all season, you just know he’s got mistakes in him every game and just hope we get away with them without conceding. Obviously the defenders in front of him don’t help as proven today by Okoli, but got their second goal he should have gone through everybody to get that ball; in my opinion lacks the courage and ability to read the game to be a decent keeper. Probably too nice.

Fully agree. This is a tough league and no team is on top all game. Two years ago we had plenty of rubbish moments and dodgy periods even when we won 13 out of the first 14. Today was a great performance for a variety of reasons; showed real talent, game plan, pace, ruthlessness, fighting qualities, togetherness, defensive strength and managed the game out really well. Credit where credit is due, well played the manager of all the team and substitutes. Let’s hope this performance and result kick starts our season!

It’s always just been a ploy by the complainers to get rid of us older fans who they say don’t cheers loudly enough at away games and are seen as not needed or wanted. I’m 73, following the lads since 62/63; been a season ticket holder on and off since 1970, mostly on and definitely all this century. I used to go to 90% of away games, last couple of years maybe 60%. Mainly due to not going to the 150 mile plus away matches as can be tiring travelling and more disappointingly the away support can turn toxic more quickly these days. I’ve obviously got well over 700 points, but with over 150 away matches over the last 10 years am not happy that the younger “fans” want me to lose a priority I’ve built up over the years. Whatever system is brought in, people will still complain; I think the current system is ok - there’s a lot of natural wastage and currently some away matches go through to new season ticket holders / members. Look at Huddersfield away, spaces around us that night - why? Anyway, I expect the system to change to disadvantage us oldies as we don’t tend to moan and go and social media to force our point of view through. People go on about the system being fair, but only if it’s their definition of fair and suits their purpose - We’ll see what happens.

It’s seemed to me he was having a go at SK1, they tend to lead the crowd in booing players. I’m in SK2 and nobody around me was booing him. Dont think it helped that our so-called supportive singing section in SK1 were singing “we’re going down” etc 10 minutes into the game.

The guy is the only genuine attacking midfield player we have. He’s a class player unlike the workmanlike and uninspiring Skipp and Soumare. Winks changed the game today, kept us on the front foot. What happened at the end of last season was down to RVN being an idiot. Once he froze out Winks we were sunk. If we sell Winks and don't replace him, promotion / play offs will be very difficult to achieve with no creative high tempo midfielders.

Just play loudly Dave Edmunds hit single from the 1970 album “Rockpile”!! That’ll get rid of them!

RVN switched him to the other side second half, presumably as he and JJ played like virtual strangers, particularly in their positional play. Seemed to work as he did manage the assist, although I thought he had over hit the pass at first. The lad tries hard, hopefully he can improve with coaching.

Think it’s also a risky move for Ruud. If he fails and it’s going to be a tough job, it’ll tarnish his reputation. Plus if he loses his first game some of our fans will be on his case immediately. Let’s hope our fans give him time.

The fans do regularly. I don’t blame the players for going abroad. They would just get loads of abuse if they had a piss up in Leicester by our entitled judgemental fans.

Bit like most of our fans.
