Asking for a pal.
Do you reckon that sets us up for safety again?

ffs

Patterson must have played himself into the right back position for a few games at least. I thought he was solid, but also was ready to bomb forward.

He still looks like he’s had too many deep fried haggis fritters though

I hope the divvies in the VAR truck enjoyed our win

Take my hat off to Moyes and the tactics today, he had it spot on

 

[Seathestars]

Love Emerys comment to Moyes after the final whistle :-

What did he say

A couple of times we've got close to the top 4 and we've messed it up this season. Similar thing happened to Villa today with Arsenal and City dropping points yesterday. Brilliant from us to take advantage of it.

Strange season. We struggle against teams we usually beat, but have ended 3 or 4 bogie-teams runs against us. Perfect away performance today. Just need to sort out terrible home form.

Yeah we are the most ass-backwards team right now.

But it’s so much better than just backwards under the previous manager.

With the players we have missing, our away tactics suit the players much better but I am certain that once the likes of KDH, Branthwaite, illy etc are back the home form will get vastly better

Not today , not on that display...and I can't stand Dwight but he was very tight and disciplined today.

Sadly Dibling can't be trusted

This 100%. Dwight was very tight today. Not a game for Dibling IMO, as I think his attitude needs to improve

 

[ah11984]

That is a fantastic result in any circumstances, considering we have half a team out it’s even better.

Brilliant.

erm lol

Gave MoM to Patterson today, he looked good, played his part in a great team defensive display, hopefully a turning point for him.
Notable mentions for Garner and Pickford.

 

[Bluebonic]

Toss up between Merlin and Jimmy for me, but the whole team played great defensively.

 

[tommytowne]

ffs

Gotcha

Fantastic unexpected win.
