Many ways to win , but that was just a great game of football. We are a proper team.

Tough game. Great start but under huge pressure at times. Ward Prowse was great but Perez shaded it in the end. An important with without Downes and Larin.

Really good match to watch. Was a bit worried that we often seemed to let them back in the game for extended periods. However it turned out I was worrying unnecessarily as we defended superbly.

Tonda is back to his inspirational best. Team looked confident going forward and Dobbin and Jander got vital minutes to let them play into form. Poachers goal for Dobbin should help build his confidence.

I think we have the best midfield in the championship in both ability and depth. This win was achieved without 2 of our best players being available.

The boys played with courage and determination from the get go in this difficult away match in front of more than 62.000 people in the crowd - performing so fine in heavy rain for large periods of the match.
Breathtaking tempo and special notes for especially Daniel Peretz who was absolutely fantastic in goal, but also JWP, Azaz and Lewis Dobbin deserves special mentioning as do others. Dobbin was everywhere and even made a good target player with his relatively small stature and quick feet and scored that important 3-1 goal - replacing an injured Larin - and he almost made it 4-1 with good determination and skills from a clever through ball from Finn Azaz after a fine first touch (and turn?) hitting the outside of the far post with a fine, low shot from his (weaker) left foot from the edge of the penalty area.
Very enjoyable match where we were clinical and absorbed and coped with the pressure we were up against in periods greatly.
Manning, Stepho, Bree and Slotts were superb in defense and Matsuki ran and ran and ran in midfield and helped the defense well with JWP and Jander in a team who made a fine statement today.
We have a very, very good team and a very, very good manager I'm happy and proud to say.
