[Barrera]

From worst first half … to best second half of the season. What a comeback. Sign up Mikey Johnston pronto Shilen.

The inevitable slew of changes, though at 4-1 up maybe not so risky this time! Feel a bit sorry for Johnston as he must have fancied a hat trick the way the game has turned. Let's hope too many subs don't kill the momentum this time

Just shows how bad his tactics were in the first half. We can play football but we must let the handbrake off a bit earlier.

Never that easy though Tipp. He knows exactly what he’s doing and the reasons (which can change) and he’s great at responding. Top top manager.

I'm afraid that the jury is still out for me Boingy but we must keep the faith.

Gobsmacked Tipp! Seriously. Even if we didn’t make the play offs he’s still the best manager we’ve had in decades. I believe we will though and wouldn’t be surprised if this Spanish footballing genius got us promoted this season. I’m dreading the day we get someone else tbh. So many average managers out there.

Phew.
Talk about a ‘game of two halves’ !
Well done Palmer - after quite a mishap first half ! Some superb saves at critical times.

He does do well and we”ll do well to keep him. It is so easy to be critical (not saying you are being critical Prando, I refer to other previous criticisms of him) he is an excellent keeper. We had it with Johnstone. Many wanted Button in place of him. Well that did not turn out good.

One mistake in goal leads to the inevitable. And a keeper has to live or die by that each game. Strikers, defenders, midfielders etc. can make a number of errors without facing the criticism keepers get.

Palmer is an excellent goal keeper and we should be glad he is ours. I fail to understand the criticism after we have won by 4 - 1. You can only beat what’s in front of you. And we did lose our previous encounter with them at home.
