Just got in from the match (live in north east). Great to win. But another match in which the players don’t seem to know how to pass to each other. It was a very poor game, bit of luck on our side with the two efforts off the post, but we were solid defensively on the whole.

They are an awful team that we should always be beating but we barely got out of first gear (I’m hoping we have more than one gear cause we didn’t show much). Both sides were just hitting it forward and neither had an outlet that could get hold of it and take it forward regularly.

But it’s a result, away from home, with a clean sheet. All positive however ugly/badly we played.
 
Williams didn't put a foot wrong and was close to scoring as well, so he gets my vote. Gana played a blinder, Kenney played as well as we expect him to these days. Apart from conceding a free kick on the edge of our area in the first minute Martina had a good game. DCL goes from strength to strength, it takes 2 centrebacks to stop him. Holgate has established himself as a must start, Siggurdsen and Scneids had good games. There can be no criticism of us being "unable to string two passes together" on that performance.

Give me one miserable victory after another until May. I’m happy to take a more philosophical perspective then, but for now I’ll take the points.

May?
We weren't and aren't in a relegation battle so....Jan transfer window opens soon!
He'll know what he wants to play his more expansive version of football, that he's not had the chance to play before, so the targets should already be lined up to sign.
Hoping it's all free flowing footie.
 
Great to get that first away win. Even better, considering that the game against Liverpool must have drained them a bit . Went for Kenny but all the defence did well along with Gana and Rooney showing his alertness for the goal. Good cameo from Vlasic as well .
 
Why is Williams such better all of a sudden?
Is it because he's got Holgate next to him, young and quick so he has confidence to marshall the defence?
Was he intimidated by the experience of Jag or the price tag of Keane?
Or did he really hate Koeman that much?
