    Not much but that isn’t my point so I don’t know what I’m supposed to say to that. At the very least there were a few times a he looked dangerous going down the wing.

    Armstrong only ever looks a danger to his own team. 23 appearances, 1 assist 1 goal. For a striker that’s Piss poor numbers.

    Are people aware we've just won a game FFS? Enjoy the win. It was scrappy and a bit fortunate but **** it, we've won so few games in the last year people seem to have forgotten how to enjoy a win. Crack open a beer and chill out!

    You were singling out a player who didn't actually play that badly at all. So I thought I'd get your view on another player who plays in the same position. See if you are being negative across the board, or just focusing on an easy scapegoat.

    If Maddison gets injured, Leicester really could struggle.

    Lavia, Alcaraz, Che, Walcott, ABK, Beddie, KWP all played very well. JWP a bit below par. AMN still gives me the willies. KWP and Perraud our FBs going forward and I will start to believe.

    Yes we won, but give the chances we did to a top side were losing that 3-1. Rashford would of buried them.

    I think we have a decent group of players overall really. I rate Bella Kotchap, Walker Peters, Tino, Lavia, JWP, Sulemana has looked decent, Stewie has his moments, Salisu can boss games, even Che looks threatening when he gets going.

    Adam Armstrong provides nothing to this team at all. Being a bit of nuisance isn’t that great. Shane Long was a nuisance but at least he scored every now and again. I think what sealed it for me was that he looked no better against a league 2 side on Wednesday.

    After Wednesday, tonight was make or break for me. There had to be max effort, commitment and just play as a team. That happened, and a moment of quality from Che and Charly decided the game. I'll be taking my seat going forwards now.

    Maybe we've been so dog **** that long now it seems that way. But I wouldn't call that performance "max effort or quality".

    Ignoring the cup team line up, in 3 Premier league games 2 clean sheets, just 1 goal conceded.

    Definitely not, I’m thrilled at the result and maybe we can fluke our way out of relegation however let’s not fool ourselves into thinking either of Selles’ wins were down to how well we played. Like others have said the Chelsea and now this victory would have been easy 3-1 defeats against most other teams in this league.

    It wasn't quality, but I can recognise maximum effort when I see it.

    Who thinks we can get out of this? It's pretty tight down there (matron) maybe a poll is in order? I'm going to get a kebab and watch MOTD for the first time in ages in my pants.
    Who's up for it?
