Calm down people. There is still 45 minutes to go. It was a terrible first half but there is plenty of time. No need to panic |

According to the stats that just flashed up on the screen, we haven't had a shot yet and have only had one touch in the opposition box
Says it all really
Big comeback in the second half. Sinton will say, in his wrap up after the full time whistle, "It was a game of two halfs" |

At this point Id be delighted with o-o at HT. We haven't got a foot in this game yet. Could do with a re-group |

Right, we've managed the first 15 minutes. Now its time to start growing into the game and imposing ourselves not he game. So says I! |

Sometimes away against a big crowd you just have to soak up the pressure in the first 15 minutes and build on that. Looks like that is what we have here. We have barely touched the ball so far. They just need to hold their nerve and keep their concentration. |

Speed kills and for the first time is decades we have speed all over the field. It's a wonder to watch -- Burrell, Saito, Dembele -- all speedy up front.
Just fantastic to watch |

I have to say it is very disconcerting to see Marti on the other team's bench. Weird double-take time |

Living dangerously against a very good looking Middlesboro team
That was definitely a penalty against Verane. Hit his hand that was in an unnatural position away fro the body. Ref didn't see it. Im not complaining.
Middlesboro are all over us. We are doing well but one lapse of concentration could always be deadly |

No no no no
I know that banana skins are there to be slipped on and we have made a talent out of falling on our arses in cup-tie games, but I am definitely hoping for a lower division opponent at home.
I'd be delighted with Harrogate or Crawley at home. Yes please |

One amazing thing is that we have speed up front now. For ages, we've lacked speed around the box. Now we've got nippy players all over our attacking third; Burrell, Smyth, Saito, to name a few. Plus, we have players who aren't afraid to run with he ball at their feet. It wasn't that long ago when Dunne was our most creative player and the best player for carrying the ball upfield. That was insane. Now we have all kinds of players running at the defense, carrying the ball upfield,
Obviously, none of our payers are perfect. If they were, they wouldn't be playing for a middling Championship team. But it is such a relief to not have to watch constant back passes and sideways passes. |

Six goals in the last two home games. The chances are coming and the goals are going in. What a joy!
After years of having to sit through rubbish like Dykes and Celar, it is a joy to have two strikers who battle, who are in the box for loose balls and not hiding out by the D, and who can find the target. Goals will come for Kone. No doubt about it. He has all the tools. His hustle was responsible for the last two goals. He is a joy to watch and Burrell, well ... he could be a 20 goals man before this season is out. Wouldn't that be amazing? Our leading scorer was Frey last year, with 9 goals. Burrell has already matched that. Long may the chances fall to his feet!!
Also, can't underestimate the role of some of our midfielders. Madsen looked great today as did Chair, before he went off. Saito and Dembele weren't completely effective today but they are both always going forward, putting defenders on the back foot, creating chances. Smyth is always a threat. And I've been impressed with the abilities of both Mbengue and Norrington-Devis to turn defense into offense.
We are playing well and you have the feeling that there is better to come from the likes of Kone, Sait, Dembele, etc.
Rich run of form right now and great to watch! [Post edited 6 Dec 17:23]

Great win in a 6-pointer. Great second half. Fun to watch.
Well pleased with our strikers. It's been so long since we've had a real goal scorer and now we have two .
2 points off the play-off spots. On to Birmingham on Tuesday -- another 6-pointer at home.
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRssssssssssss!!! |
