Coady and Hamza 10/10

[Md9]

Wouldn’t fancy playing them over 2 legs in the play offs either

Huge win. We can fvcking do this. 

With the same amount of divine intervention in the remaining games we could almost rival Ipswich.

[NJFox]

Whiskey at 9:30am is totally normal, right? 

[Vazman]

Coady is exactly what the team needs just now.

[Hootsman]

The good: the result, Hamza, the team showing they actually care

 

The bad: some of the performance, ball retention in the final third. 

 

The only thing that matters: 3 points secured.

Best team we’ve beaten all season

[Tielemans63]

Coady should have been in the side ages ago, and playing regularly. Brings the leadership this team clearly needs.

Surely fans weren’t leaving early today? I’m sorry if you left the ground before the final whistle today, you’re not a fan.

Yes they did. Not as many as in previous games though.

Huge win, unconvincing display to say the least. Hamza was sloppy at times, but his last ditch defending won us that game.

 

We abandoned our principles today and allowed the game to be played at their pace. I know the controlled possession irks many, but today our lack of control exposed Vestergaard and Winks massively. Gives a glimpse into how things might look like next year if we go up, where will get carved open at will, unless we are able to dictate that the game is played at walking pace or can make reinforcements to get some technically adept, yet mobile players in central defence and midfield. Was impressed with WBA, they looked a very cohesive side and I'd take Corberan in a heartbeat if Enzo didn't stick around.

 

Obviously delighted with 3 points, but the direction of travel in terms of performance is concerning.

Hamza was outstanding but that aside we scraped over the line there.

Cannon not getting a sniff is quite frankly fcuking baffling.

Yet I cannot remember us being this porous besides against Cov first game. Yes, the midfield left our defense horribly exposed, but dear me. When we cannot intercept crosses with three tall centerbacks, then I despair...

Hamza and Coady were immense today. Coady showing why he should of been given more starts certainly over Faes.  Hamza rightly man of the match. One of the best games he's played.

Thought Daka to charge down their defenders late on made a fair bit of sense tbh, he is by a distance the best of our strikers at pressing, even if he can’t hit a barn door at the moment.

We are at the business end of the season, 3 point is all that matters and we got them cheer up mate.

Hamza is brilliant because he is shit sometimes 

 

Questioning his quality is fair enough but you can never question his commitment to play for this club. 

 

Lucky win, but also had chances of our own.

 

Great to see the scenes at the end, but nothing finished yet. 

Was going to make this point. The crowd stepped up today. Top/Enzo etc can’t complain about that!

 

Really nice to see the fans at the end together with the players and management. Felt for the first time in a while everyone was together.

[Foxmeister]

That puts the EFL/refereeing conspiracy to bed.

[RowlattsFox]

Not sure Coady was great, defensively we conceded more chances than we ever have and he was done for the goal. However leadership helps.

Vesty followed Diagana all over the ground as was pulled out of position several times. That meant the gap between Coady and Faes was wide open at times.

 

Still think we were better defensively than some other games!

Obviously it's a huge win, and it's at better to be able to rebuild with the buffer of premier league cash, just the cracks we're papering over get wider.

There’s always someone who will go rogue! Expect him to be bumped down to League 2 for next week
