    That's spot on that. It's Tommy's shirt to lose.

    Happy ****ing days!!!! Jesus Christ. Made hard hard work for that. We need to work on our finishing. Can not miss open goals like that.

    That said, we battled to the end and got the fortunate deflection for the winner.

    Watson will get the plaudits and rightly so but for me Dan Neil was the best player on the pitch today.

    Absolutely deserved that, and tbh, 2 - 1 flatters Stoke.
    Watson...class today.

    Well done Patterson, always a last second chance isn't there. Well deserved win that, odd game because of the weather mainly but good to see us creating so many chances. Just need to bury them next time.

    Watson MotM, obviously.

    Agree with all of that. Superb from Neil. Earned a bit of luck but really shouldn’t have needed it.

    Huge win that btw, not won in a while, weather conditions and then to miss so many chances and still comeback and win - impressive

    Watson what a talent, so exciting and is getting better and better with each game - lovely run for the winner, attacked the space well and will be a goal threat with his movement

    Neil was unreal today, a proper CM performance that had a bit of everything

    I still would have liked the subs on about 10 mins earlier but at least when he made them they were spot on

    Great result, good performance, created plenty but our finishing was poor.

    Tommy Watson obviously man of the match, but Dan Neil was class today, always composed in a bit of a wild game.

    Slight concerns about Rigg and Jobe though, we could do with some rotation in there.

    Very much agree. It's starting to show. A midfield 3 can not be expected to start and player nearly every minute.

    Agreed, hopefully we've turned the corner and can go on another run. Frustratingly, If we'd held on against Coventry and Millwall, we'd have 40 points and be top of the league still. That goes to show how tight the league is and other than Leeds, no one has really impressed me so far. And even then Leeds can be inconsistent.

    Good win in them conditions. All we needed was to get a win after the last few weeks but I think it was more than that, the performance was good it was just finishing that let us down. Chance creation was excellent and the control we had was the best since Oxford.

    Neil the standout for me. His best game of the season. Buzzing for Watson to grab 2, with him and Mundle we have great options on that side.

    The additions of Cirkin and Mayenda changed the game in the last 10, hope RLB learns that subs can seriously impact games like they did today.

    Well done lads. Back on track.

    We were fantastic today (finishing aside) defence looked shaky at the start but grew into it.

    brilliant performance. Dan neil or Watson MOTM.

    Subs were later than I’d like but they worked and pushed us forward so well done RLB

    Jobe didn’t look right after he went down. We’ve got a massive gap in the squad because who do you bring on

    Tommy Watson is going to be a heck of a player for us next season.

    We need to see how good Mundle is on the right as I think Roberts may be dropping down the pecking order.

    Got to trust the serb. Or AA for the last 20. No other choice. Can not keep on asking these 3 to shart and played nearly every minute.

    Jobe and Rigg both look ****ed and we could really do with Browne or Samed being fit or Aleksic and Aouchiche being trusted.
