    Aye you can see he's got the natural instinct to use his size and speed to his advantage, he's got a great line in getting ahead of the defender and winning a free kick when there's nothing better on. Going to get a lot of joy from that, should have scored from the pen he won last game for example.

    Put some good crosses in on his left peg too which I was impressed by. Nightmare for defenders.

    Onien and Neil were excellent today .. kept us ticking over and positive with the ball . Sitting in row 7 wasnt the best place to be today absolutely soaked through .. but a very good win

    Once he gets used to the physical side of it he will be brilliant. Clarke was the same; a bit lightweight when he first arrived then beefed up. I think Wason will be the same.

    Yeah it’s great that he’s comfortable on either foot, had his full back in knots at times, no need to rush mundle back either when he’s playing like this

    He is a load better out on the left. Can see it a mile off. Was nice today, he took a extra second before delivering the ball, made a big difference. That tap in he missed could have been a hatrick !

    The potential of the ballard and mepham partnership is quality but I can't see how o9 can't start at the minute

    Has anyone’s testicles popped back out yet? **** me.

    Doesn’t need saying I’m sure but Tommy looks a bit special don’t he. That said MOTM was surely Dan or LON.

    We were very decent there, and as always Stoke were absolutely awful to watch. Big, big result that.

    If I hear one more person suggest Cannon is the one for us I will kick them in the knackers. Watched him a bunch of times now and tried to keep an eye on him through the wind tears and he just isn’t anything we need.

    Loved the celebration for the second goal ‘I’m ****ing here now lads’

    Delughted, would have liked us to take a couple more but a wins a wins a win innit.

    What a performance Tommy, glad we got that. Need to be more clinical.
    Isidore needs to do more in the box, some quality balls flashed across the 6yarder first half just begging to be tapped in. Onto Tuesday

    I think there are 3 take aways from that game for me. Firstly Johansson is a great keeper. Secondly we are generally good but are lacking a bit of cutting edge at the moment. Thirdly Tommy Watson is class.

    Same absolutely piss wet through! I think that could’ve easily been called off mind. Glad the players used their loafs and I can’t remember a single bad tackle or foul going in. Just jumped in a nice hot bath with a can of Stella because I’m out tonight :emoticon-0106-cryin glad it’s just a do in one bar don’t think I’d going otherwise!

    Not long back from the game, **** me that was cold and wet.

    Deserved the win, we put 5 or 6 beautiful balls in the box that we didn't get on the end of, but over the moon for Watson to get a brace.

    Dan Neil was brilliant today, special mention to 09 as well.

    Onto Tuesday night
