Sheaf Saint

Who are they then?

This is just plain wrong. I've been as critical if him over the last couple of years as anyone but it's obvious to anyone with eyes that he has vastly improved this season. He was a key part of our performance today, defended from the front, linked up well with KWP, and was involved in the move that led to our goal. To not recognise and acknowledge that is ridiculous.

I for one am counting the minutes til Monday when Howe comes riding in to save us from this horror show.

OK so Wolves didn't turn out how we would have liked, and we expected to get beaten at Chelsea, but 2 wins and a draw from Leeds, Burnley and Watford is decent. Perform like we did today and we'll surely beat Norwich, and Villa haven't been all that lately so we shouldn't fear them at SMS on Friday. I'm still feeling positive we'll be OK this season.

I'm not going to go over the missed chances again because that's been done to death already. For me, that win is thanks to two pieces of top quality - Ché's finish and Macca's late save.

We seem to be drawing fouls and breaking up their momentum with FKs quite well though.

If we do go on to win this it will be thanks to him. Outstanding save.

0-3 now.

Chelsea 0-2 up at Newcastle now. It'll be funny seeing them spend shedloads of cash in Jan but still get relegated.

Looked deliberate to me. It was a strange movement of his leg otherwise.

Watch us go and score from a Redmond corner now

That's definitely the right sub.

Oh that's an unlucky deflection.

Not yet. He's getting in the right positions and the goals will come eventually. Taking him off having not scored will dent his confidence further. Right now I would swap Ely for Stu.

Arma off target again, but it came to him so quickly I can let him off.

Palace are 1-0 up at Man City and Laporte has been sent off!

Same as against Leeds isn't it. With the chances we've created we should be out of sight by now. The irony is the one we scored from was probably the hardest of the lot. We just keep on missing so many easy chances, it's infuriating. Unlike Leeds, Watford look like they have a goal in them. So we'll need to improve our finishing in the second half if we want these 3 points. I really don't want the taters to be ramming the old "dropped points from winning positions" stat down our throats again at 4.45.

It tells me that despite us being by far the better team so far and creating more chances, we can't get them on target. Armstrong proving the point there.

We already are. Watford are coming back into it now and we didn't score enough when we were well on top.

The fact that Watford have had more shots on target than us so far speaks volumes.

Oh Che. You scored the difficult chance and fluff that one.

Right, I'm gonna put my neck on the line here. Redmond is better at taking corners than JWP. There, I've said it. Oof, that was lucky. Just off the line from KWP.

Masina lucky there. Fully committed to that tackle and if Livra had just lifted the ball over him he'd have been in real trouble.

I was going to post that, but I thought the joke had run its course after the goal he scored against Sheff Utd last season 😉

Oh my days. That's a fine finish. Take a bow son.
