    Swear some people go to games just to moan. Fans like that should just **** off and "support" a different team

    Oh my god that is Genius... please can we do a Barry Manilow song... PLEASE, if only for my Mum (RIP) ... she'd be so proud (actually, she'd think I was being a prick!) She would want a Cliff Richard song, but "Hey Mum, there are limits!"

    I blame the ground staff! I predicted 2-0 and if they'd done their jobs and watered the pitch properly then Romeu's header would have gone in!

    Took my 8 year old daughter to the game today. She absolutely loved it! What a moment of joy when Charlie finally slammed it in! Thought the lads were absolutely magnificent today. After a slow start where we were ineffective, we started playing some beautiful football, only let down by poor finishing.

    Bertrand seemed a bit grumpy early doors - anyone else think so?

    Cedric - much improved, steady game

    Jose - settling down and getting back to reliable norm. But he threatened to give another pen - what goes through his head?!

    Virgil - class above - nuff said

    Davis, Romeu - superb

    Clasie - ok but place under definite threat

    Long - body language much better, on the up

    Redmond - lively box of tricks, leeway needed with finishing please

    Tadic - world class incisive passing

    Austin - MUST start next league game

    Holbjerg - not sure how he can remain on bench

    Cuco - cult legend

    We are up and running. We march on!

    He's always been moody so don't think any change, just his resting stance!

    Tadic on the wing is a wonderful thing
    Dusan through the middle puts us in a piddle

    Puel will do well to remember this rhyme, if he wants to win next time

    Very good that. Lincoln fans used to sing "I've got the Power" until they realised Alan Power was crap...and started groaning instead.

    I thought we played well today.

    Austin should be starting and the others can battle to be his partner.

    Not replacing pelle was a mistake but austin can do a decent job if he is given the chance.

    He's hardly going to relax if the Northam start calling for Austin every time he misses a chance. Idiots.

    The issue with Redmond isn't just him, it's the partnership with Long. Shane Long is not a great finisher and we're likely to lack a cutting edge with him playing alongside Redmond, a winger we're trying to convert to a striker. For me Austin could play alongside any of the other strikers we have - assuming Rodriguez is fully fit, which may be a big ask - but Long and Redmond aren't (yet?) a good pairing.

    I wonder whether Boufal will be played more as a striker if Rodriguez is out for a while.

    I hope not, in the out-and-out sense. I want players played in their best positions where possible.

    If he can stay injury free, then Austin can get 20+ goals this season, no problem.
