    That was Brentford for me, where we needed to play not that well and get the results. This team were clearly ****ing awful and we saw their weaknesses and exploited it and had a rest in the second half.

    I actually think he went easy on them. We took the foot off. And it’s for a reason. But we could have destroyed them.

    Southampton put the effort in but their team is obviously nowhere near Prem quality. Leicester are a weird rabble of players with Prem experience and players who don't have that, but the whole team clearly doesn't care. Van Nistelrooy obviously hasn't turned things around, but he should have a chance to revamp this if he wants it in the championship, their a championship team who need serious changes if they're going to do well in the championship next season.

    Could have easily been more goals to us, it was hardly like we were paying respect and avoiding scoring, just managing the win in the second half and resting a bit. Even when we rested they were wide open.

    Man United will be difficult because they're starting to get used to their style of play. I'm a little worried about injuries and the toons dreadful bench.

    Howe had nothing today in that bench.... n Co aren't good enough
