3 big points

really needed that last night

not a classic but dominated the game again

need to take our chances still

roberts miles better player than ekuban

jansson is a beast again

coops doing so well


hope douglas injury not bad, because our defensive unit is solid

unbearable news about toby, the world is a horrible place


watched via the red button, the scenes at the end of the game were incredible.

lets beat brentford, get some key players back after international break and get going again.

Who cares .........

we've got players that in relative terms are absolute bargains, ripping up the league thus far. A coach who's managed to polish the biggest set of turds based on last season.

There's a team out there every match, can't recall that in recent memory.

Roberts looked shaky early doors of the season, personally I put that down to recovery from injury and needing to gain fitness and confidence. The £2.5m could look like a bargain if he keeps going the way he is. Roofe is now proving his worth, certainly risen in monetary value i'd imagine.

Keep saying it - happy times !!! Keep smiling chaps.

I've never knocked Roberts, what I did say when we signed him was that it was money poorly spent then when we needed a flyer then who could help us then...but as the above stated, it's almost lucky he wasn't fit as if he was and had scored last season maybe we'd still have Heck!

Never said you did ....... and I rarely trawl back to find quotes anyway. Roberts to many in Jan represented a gamble, and we did appear to be spending where we didn't need to - at that time.

I don't think the club saw him in the 1st team yet, other than maybe the bench, it's "luck" that has propelled him into the team.

Bamford must be having nightmares wondering when he'll get a kick if both Roberts and Roofe carry on they way they are...... nice dilemma.

know it wasn't you vow, just other folk with the usual digs.

For me it was the large amount of money that could have gone on someone ready to make a difference there and then, but it's turned out well in the end.

I think good players have a confidence in their own ability and the competition really does improve them, I also imagine that the trust in Bielsa helps, nothing worse than starting to doubt the boss's word.

Every player signed is a gamble and we all can make statements & then turn them around at certain times to seem to justify, it is just that most don't need to

Think Roberts will revert back to playing out wide when Bamford and Roofe are both fit.

Jonts don't take it personally mate, wasn't a dig, I just found it funny..

I've not once mentioned Pullis have I ?

was thinking that Lubs but not sure he should, I prefer him up top.. thing is, we could end up with Bamford being the 3rd choice forward, 7 million pounds worth of 3rd choice.. nicer problems to have though right?

Yup, if Roberts continues to score 1 in 2 Bamford will struggle to get back in & rightly so.
