    Only saw the highlights
    Great free kick from Brownhill but we could have gone in 1-2 behind with them hitting the crossbar.
    I think we'll know more about our capabilities at the end of October looking at the upcoming fixtures, but well done the lads anyway.

    I’ve not said that. I don’t rate him like you do, but I think Reid is a better player. I also think we will go with a Weimann and Diedhiou front pairing. He’s a good squad player but not one who will score you 20+ goals which is what you’re comparing him with.

    He was doing it when the corner was taken as well, that's why the keeper couldn't move for it.

    For me Taylor’s value tonthe side is his movement off the ball, he does take up good positions that pull defenders away and make space for others, plus his final ball is usually pretty good. What he is not however, at least at Championship level is a prolific, 20 goal a season striker.

    True, but before they scored their ‘freak’ goal we were all over them and forced their keeper into making some very good saves - so we also could have been 2 up before they scored.
    We were certainly shaken after their goal, but the stats (for what they are worth) show we had 11 shots on target to their 2, so overall we deserved our victory.

    We were the better team until they scored against the run of play. That rattled us for 20mins or so and yes we could have conceded again but we came back towards the end of the half got the equaliser and there was only one team in it in the second half and we could have scored more goals. It was an impressive performance against team who had been unbeaten in both league and cup before Saturday
