That was a really weird decision. I wonder why they thought it would be a good idea to loan out a player that’s championship proven quality to then buy and loan two others in his place. I think we’d have a few more points if Bree was in our lineup from the start. 

Totally agree. Wasn't Bree's biggest fan since he joined, bit fair play to him. He's been a massive reason for our upturn in form.

It's no surprise to me really. Even in the darkest times of last season's horror show, he was consistently our best player when he was in the pitch. He's one of those players in the mould of Paul Telfer who never seems to let the occasion get the better of him and will always give you a solid 7/10 performance no matter what.

Another great performance. Looked like we were low on energy which is understable given all the games recently, but they battled hard. Azaz, Downes and THB all different gravy, but Peretz man...don't fall in love with loan signings, eh?

To a man they all put another big shift in. Whole team should feel good about itself at the moment.

I won't waste more time on my comments about the referee (on other thread).

A very welcome 3 points from a scrappy game that lacked much in footballing skill.

Peretz to the rescue once again, we surely must sign him in the summer.

An excellent performance from Sam Edozie who put on a good show for the absent Scienza 

and was unlucky to have one goal ruled out, and a penalty shout that VAR would have OK'd. 

Downes and Stephens have redeemed themselves after all the early season criticism they received.

Azaz too, has developed himself in a good role, after a rather uneven start to the season.

Having got into the Top 6, our big challenge is to stay there until the season's end, and win the play-off spot.

A combination of Bazunu and Still has effectively done us for the autos, which is shame. 
 

But on the plus side, I thought this season was a right off so the playoffs potentially is incredible.

As for tonight… we’ve demonstrated  every version of how to win (and lose) this year. Shoddy performance but gutsy and immensely satisfying.

Peretz… incredible.

I think it's more down to the fact Turkish didn't say we would go unbeaten from the very start. He's got to take responsibility for this.
