    Don’t mind it from my centre forward personally


    Anyway been quiet but top result that grinded it out. Sort of thing we give those around us credit for. Class lads

    Huge win. Playoffs secured, well done lads.

    Performance not great but it's April, just need to get over the line. Thought our game management in the last 20 was great, Dan Neil central to that.

    Jobe my MOTM, seems to be most weeks now. Interesting tweak by RLB during the first half to have him operate on the right side, think that was to stop Johnston cutting infield and it worked.

    Well done lads.

    Definitely take that 3 points.

    Mepo, 09 and Jobe very good. Mepo MoTm a mile for me.

    We need to get ELF STARTING. Must have a return to form for Wilson and Neil too. Both have turned in a bunch of well below par performances

    Big credit to the two CBs, tough game with a lot of dangerous crosses and they dealt with everything. Patterson solid too.

    Looked better with Le Fee on in the middle unsurprisingly, started creating better quality chances. Would like to see Mayenda on the end of them instead of Isidor.

    Excellent result, resolute defending. I'm still waiting for the performance that gives me confidence that we're going into these playoffs with a big chance, but this is an away win against a playoff calibre team so nothing to sniff at.

    O'Nien man of the match for me, but Patto and the whole back line had a good game. Jobe dug in well too.

    Love Mogga mind. For everything he did here. WBA are a decent side, we restricted them to 2 shots on target. And they weren’t what I would call worldy saves from patto (one was a back pass!) for all their ball retention, they created nothing in a home game.

    We probably had the 2 bast chances of the game, and didn’t score either!

    Very good defensive performance. Not great to watch @SAFC2403 so just watch the goal back <laugh>

    Hope we rest jobe a bit now, a bit of rotation with the midfield wouldn’t be the worst now. Centre half’s and keeper were brilliant. Looks like he didn’t fancy Watson at all

    Funny because the co commentator was complimentary of Neil. Amazing how people see things differently.

    Good win though

    Looked a bit disjointed going forward at times I though, not as fluid as we can be. Good defensively I thought with Mowbray targeting Browne, something I thought Neil would've done last weekend. Thought Watson would've come on when Mundle went off as a like for like but surprised when Mayenda came in inside - speaks volumes for me.

    Got the 3 points and Le Fee must start each game in the middle from now on, he's a different class in this league

    Hope Mundle isn't out for too long. Mayenda was great out wide though, lad deserves to be on the pitch every game. ELF looked a bit rusty but when he had time and space you see exactly what he brings.

    Absolutely agree, but we also don’t need to push him too hard so he ends up injured again! Half hours until he’s fully fit. Then unleash! As he’s clearly a lever above most others

    Shoutout for Hjelde as well. Fellows was getting the better of Hume but that stopped when Hjelde came on, liked when he took it to the corner as well showed great maturity doing so.

    That's us pretty much guaranteed a playoff place.

    Pleased with the hard fought win. A typical battling performance from O9 who threw himself at everything and gets my MOTM.
