Bit scrappy tonight but well earned the points. A good side gets scrappy points despite playing average so looking forward to when we really hit top form.I like the new Diame and another decent goal tonight.
A little concerned about Ritchie though. Nothing came off for him. He had a stinker. Atsu must have earned a start at the weekend.
The kinda game that you need if you wanna get promoted, after streamrollering a play off side, we got asked questions away from home in a scrappy game, but we held firm and got the points. No showboating and dazzling skills, just a hard earned 3 points and back to 1st place.
Even we gave a few teams a run for their money in games last season. People over estimate the margins between sides in football
The Blackburn game tells us any team can punish us if we take our foot off the gas. We need players to be versatile, ie Diame's been key for us in the last 2 matches, skillful and dominate when we bossed Birmingham and battling and tough in a scrappy match against Wigan.
We're the best side in the league but we arnt any better than that as we found out at hull we're very average, so we will struggle in some games and we've won so I'm happy
Him and Anita looked very vulnerable down our right side. Wigan players were just going past them at will.
