Couldn't find the Michael Keane option, so I've voted for Idrissa Gana Gueye.

I thought this was a real weird move bringing on Keane - if I was an attacker on the bench I'd feel like dyche was taking the p1ss out me.

It seemed a bit short sighted?

Gave MOTM to Jordan. His saves this week have been instrumental in keeping us up. Especially after the Chelsea result.

Back in from the match. Not near the experience of the derby, obviously, but hey, that's me 3/3 so far on this trip.

Stay!!!

Goodnight Blues, the wife got me a bottle of red and cooked us a nice supper. Off to watch the Quiet man movie starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara..sleep well Blues you earned this night

I think he was brought on for defensive purposes on corners/FKs. Gives us an extra player who can head balls away in those scenarios. You'd rather have him on the field for that than someone like Danjuma. But he was played up top because Dyche wanted to keep a back 4 in non-set piece situations so that we didn't disrupt the defense's cohesiveness.

Yep - 3 seasons now this has been true. This season has been utterly brilliant and still might get the Golden Glove if he can catch up with Raya on clean sheets (14 v 12).

Season feels like a bit of an achievement now tbh.

I'm gonna smoke some dope and get drunk. I start two months off work on full pay next week

The atmosphere was dead until we scored. Think it was a case of it being the day after the Lord mayor's show.

So glad we don't need another Wimbledon or Crystal Palace or Bournemouth type game.

Ivan Toney…. Still the biggest myth in English football.

I can't believe we actually got it done today, was sure I was going to have to read all the amateur mathematicians on Twitter calculating how we could still go down, and professional trolls in the sports pages still salivating at the thought, ahead of Luton on Friday. Saw the first half and we weren't that great but we went in level and got it done second half -- one of those routine wins it would be so nice to get more often in future.

Absolutely bonkers that there seems to be a lot of talk he could go to Euros ahead of Watkins.

Not only is he thick as owt and has no remorse for why he got banned, he also has downed tools since coming back and openly said he wants to go elsewhere. Wildly unprofessional.
