    Longstaff

    Sean has taken a lot of stick recently for missing a shed load of chances and yes, he has been mislaying his shooting boots, but one thing I have noticed is just how often he has been the one to be getting in to the scoring positions. That has to be something that he has to be given credit for, because he has been consistently getting those scoring chances as well as all the other work he has been doing

    I've felt he's needed a goal for his confidence so really happy for him to get two in such an important game

    He certainly proved it with a vengeance tonight

    Spot on, man.

    Very well-deserved Man of the Match award.

    I was one of his biggest critics, but the Eddie Howe-effect, man... He's been an important part of the team for a while now and I'm so delighted for him! He's improved with the team and I hope he stays with us for a long time.

    Absolutely.

    He was feeding off the fans, personal for him.

    So very pleased for him.

    I’ve been a critic but he deserves the plaudits (yesterday)

    Got to maintain overall performance though… it’s not the lack of goals only in the past, it’s giving the ball away cheaply too (Like Willock for Adam’s goal 🤦*♂️)

    End of the day… both Longstaff and Willock need to step up on a consistent basis or they will be replaced within the next 4 transfer windows.

    I’d love it if he does, because we all want ‘one of our own’, but the club will be bringing in the best in the years to come and current levels won’t even get them on the bench in the not too distant.

    Another critic in the past but he played ever so well last night.

    He has his strengths for sure but I still think he reacts slowly to situations instead of dictating play whereas Bruno for example pre-empts play and anticipates action and seems to be a step ahead with his position and passes.

    ....if that makes sense.

    Perfect sense, and agree 👍
