Still below Watford though

Really good signs things are starting to knit together for us, we've got a group of technically superb players, some great football we played when they all were on the same wavelength, the defence looking more solid too these days, my MOTM Gueye,back to his very best today and allowed our flair players to flourish.

..we’ve talked about blend and players complimenting each other for years. Like you, I went for Gueye but his form appears to have gone to another level since Gomes came in.

Yeah Eggs,Gomes looks a class act, really hope we have a deal in place for him.

..i’m not in the least bit surprised about Gomes, Silva was clearly desperate to get him on the pitch. From what’s been said, there’s no deal in place to sign him, I suspect much will depend on the player himself.

That. Was fooking fantastic.

Anyone who doesn't vote Gueye for MoM just doesn't understand football

Some very good performances all over the pitch today. But have to agree. Gueye was excellent today.

Dismantled Brighton,

Be still, my beating heart...

...18 points at this point is decent. We’re ok but more importantly we’re getting to a point where I enjoy watching us. Early days but a significant change.

Same here. The turnaround has happened faster than I expected. It was truely turgid last season.

What we need is consistency and a couple of reffing decisions to finally break for us.
We could be sat 3rd tonight if just a few harsh decisions had gone the other way.

Hopefully we continue to get stronger, the team remains commited ( no players getting unsettled ), and we can get the stadium started too.

Early days but we are moving quickly in the right direction.

 

[Toffeelover]

What can I say --- Yes, yes, yes!!!!!!!!

On football focus Coleman was interviewed and he commented on the feeling of the players and the management in the club as being very good.

Also Kevin "Killer" Kilbane gave a 3 minute endorsement of our cub and the playing today.

yes mate...on track for my forecast 25 points at Christmas...which, as you've said, is a haul enough to keep us in line for a spot in Europe

 

[Toffeelover]

Wish I could have been there shouting EV-ER-TON.

 

[croatian blues]

Desperate to see win against some top team. After game like this I hope it will come soon.

 

[Tommy Chong]

Wow! Some sexy footy today!

I like what I'm seeing. We just need a striker who's clinical at finishing, then we're sorted.

Oh, and Gueye was an absolute BEAST today!
