Just seen the highlights and that was a good triple save from Marshall. He had a couple of dodgy moments but it was good to see Balogun and Kipre supporting him
Just shows what happens when you play players in there correct. Position
Exiled tic - I think we have a lot to be confident about. Played some great football this last month, never give up and scoring a few goals. Moore has found his form and the team feels much stronger. We need to get behind the lads and I’m sure we are staying in this league ️️️My local game of the season this and i convinced a few Stable lads and lasses to come along,and blimey i am glad i did! On the journey back they were full of praise for us!Superb tonight from front to back ,Balagun has really brought a cool head to the club and the rest of the defence are learning from him!!
Feeling a hell of a lot more confident now!!
Well, as the song goes, 2 outta 3 ain't bad KDZ ................ and don't you wish you had a bet on the scoreline?
You were right on the Reading attitude though ......... they were on the beach. However, now, they're only a midges away from being dragged into the relegation fight.
That was magnificent. Glad I forked out the tenner for the game.
Imagine the odds on 3-0 away win with and Lowe and Jacobs to score 2 of them! Could've retired on them winnings. Like i said delighted to be proven wrong, i want to be proven wrong about staying up and Cook being good enough next.
How does the Dunkley injury work in our favour? He’s clearly not first choice but he’s a competent CB and now we’re down to 3 fit CBs (including Naismith) at the crucial point of our seasonWell, he's (they've) set a standard now.
That was as good as we've played all season. We've maybe played as well in 5 or 10 minute spells, (but we've also done the implosion job too!), bit for the whole game, we were excellent.
Terrible though it may be, I think the injury to Dunkley may actually be in our favour too. Morsy has already tweeted saying that they're going to "do it for him".

No thanks about Naismith, Pearce looks more defensively sound, and I don't feel too confident in our chances of Naismith (for how good he has been at centreback) playing over Pearce vs a team free-scoring and top of the league away from home. Then again we shut Leeds out, although I don't think West Brom has any striker who could perform as poor as Bamford that day.Im struggling to Pick my XI for Brom on Saturday. Pilkington was fantastic against Millwall and if Naismith is fit would probably get the nod at LB but its a hard call
I merely meant it in the sense of added motivation for the rest of the team. They weer clearly upset. Now, they have another reason (as if it were needed) to fight in every game.How does the Dunkley injury work in our favour?

Morsy and Williams laid the platform for the win tonight. They ran the show in the centre of the park which is why Bowen brought old man Adam on. I never thought we looked in any danger and a big reason for that is the calming reassuring presence of Balagun at the back. I told my lad to keep one eye on him tonight because his positioning and reading of the game is really good. We need to keep him fit as he will calm our whole back line down. After back to back wins we have effectively earned a bit of a free hit at West Brom on Saturday with less pressure on our shoulders. Would not surprise me in the slightest if we went and got something at the Hawthorns, especially if we show the same hunger and desire as tonight. As has been said already on here, we showed more heart and desire than Reading and we got the three points we deserved. When was the last time we won 3-0 away? Goodson 7 years ago?Balogun is absolute quality. But it wasn’t a performance of individuals, we wanted it more and everyone stepped up and played well, including Evans and Jacobs from the bench. Reading were really poor, but we’ve played poor teams this season and not got a result, so massive credit to everyone. Such a great away performance and really pleased to have seen it.
To think there were strong rumours he was leaving in the last window and was out of the side with a mystery injury. He has handled all that really well and is putting himself in the shop window with some increasingly better and better performances.Exiled tic - I think we have a lot to be confident about.

That's all.
