    I’m being reactionary I know, and Cirkin is class, but if Alese continues like he played that half, then Cirkin has a battle getting back in. The way it should be.

    Worth saying he’s not really been tested yet. Big second half coming

    Touch looked off tonight. Too much not sticking and causing breakdowns. Not having a go as we need him but team working better since he went off tonight.

    They haven't so much been **** as we've been very good, making them look that poor :emoticon-0148-yes:

    You don't have to look for negatives all of the time :emoticon-0145-shake

    Can bring pace on second half when their defenders are tiring

    Good ref so far. Good advantage led to first goal.

    Loved his celebration for the 1st one.
    That step over by Neil on the second was sublime. Stopped the defender attacking the ball and superbly disguised

    Great first half and fully deserve the lead.

    Just hope that Simms injury isn't a lengthy one.

    Just watched Roberts second goal back on Sky and that step over by Neil set the shot up

    How many teams have looked like world (league) beaters against us ?

    Coincidence?

    I know he gets a bit of stick from fans but Dan Neil's movement has been different class tonight, his late running into the box is causing them so many problems. Embleton making an impact off the bench is great to see. We still have a couple levels to go up though

    Roberts has looked up for this from the start mind. He’s a superb player on his day.

    He’s so bloody calm on the ball…love how he just let the defender come flying in on the second and let him go right past him.

    Expected goals is only 0.3 because the sun is waning in Jupiter, the crow only flew 234ft and the warthog rose before 11

    Or some other ****e

    Probably around the 60 min mark when Pritchard starts to tire
