    Well that was certainly improved. It was incredible to see desire and a willingness to attack from us. I can't believe the heads didn't drop after their equaliser but they didn't! I know it's awful to critique our team after such an important win but there were a few things that annoyed me. 1. Gunter should have been (and should be for the next game) either dropped or preferably swapped to the left flank. Yiadom is much better. Both goals came down our right hand side. That's not an accident and was certainly deliberate. As soon as Neil saw Aluko and Gunter on the team sheet he most certainly said "run it at them, they're shite".…

    Good stuff. Interesting that you say Kelly was quiet as he was getting plaudits for his performance. Gunter probably needs dropping but with Blackett and Obita injured and Richards unconvincing I doubt he will be left out of the side. Bodvarsson was very unlucky not to start today perhaps he will come in for Meite with Barrow in for Aluko against Norwich. Sims deserves a start but think Clement will keep him on the bench. Totally agree about Sims doing what Aluko would not have done for our winner.

I thought he played like Evans used to (and was heavily…

    2 poor teams and PNE could easily have been 3-1 up at HT. So glad our heads didn't drop after 2nd equaliser though. Think it was a similar performance to recent weeks just with 3 points at the end of it.

    Does sound that way. Think statistically that’s about our worst performance comparing shots on target etc this season Still did what we had to do and a massive 3 points. Another defeat and we’d be looking cut off already. Big week ahead

    Cue PNE to sack their manager on Monday. Always happens after a defeat by Reading.

    Cue PNE to sack their manager on Monday. Always happens after a defeat by Reading. Well wouldn't you - if you cannot even beat our useless bunch .... !? :D
