Snodgrass! I knew there was a reason why I used to pick you for my FL!
Well done lads! 3 wins in a row in the league. I said we needed 25 points from 9 games to be in with a chance. Keep it up

Again, it is a step in the right direction. They are taking their chances and defending well so that is a good thing. As Cloughy said, the goal was against the run of play, the second was miss hit and it killed them. But, for all their pluck they weren't good enough for our back four.
Second half was more of a containment job. I was okay with that.
Whelan looked good in the second half from the little I saw. Onomah looks like a player!
Encouraging, we need to put away Bolton. Historically this is the game we let points slip and we can't afford this.

Why, in the middle of a great win are you sticking it into the fans? We've been so bad for so long it was becoming harder to be optimistic about any manager that came in. Best squad in the league? Again your canons going off while it's still holstered. I'll save that until we've played the likes of Leeds, Cardiff etc.

Your negativity holds no bounds freer. If I get criticised and ridiculed for being happy we won our 2nd game I have every right to take the p.

Care to explain w/t/f were the positives ?
Did your myopia prevent you from seeing Forrest played us off the park for the whole of the second half ??
Once again we just scraped home -contrary to your feelings back in La-la land, the relief around Villa Park was palpable as the referee blew his whistle for full time
Apart from Jimmy Danger’s performance & as mentioned earlier “a win is a win”
The only real positive
NO cheffing Gabby.

I am sure he still stands by that statement. Yesterday has no bearing on that game. However, the facts are that this team came into a hugely important season woefully under prepared. It was okay to lose but to look so bad losing was and is unacceptable. Chelsea, who like us are the big boys in their division came out of the off season looking awful, but pulled it around with a solid second half scoring with 10 and 9 men. Then have looked solid since.
Actually, our first game was probably the best game we've played but failed to win, then we're disgraced at Cardiff and only slightly better than disgraced at Reading. We are on an upward curve, but we have to keep winning, but we still have to play better. We can't always rely on getting 4 goals on 6 shots.
We are around 9th still so in terms of grades Bruce is still failing, so talk to us when we are top 6 and we'll listen.

We're far from the finished article I agree stateside and Bruce isn't immune from criticism.
However all I said was its a pleasing win and then I get a barrage of unpleasant comments.
People in glass houses comes to mind

At the minute, even I cannot find anything to whinge about. We just not beeter muck it up v Bolton cos this game can set our season alight!
