    I may be a gullible idiot but I’m just praying this manager knows what he’s doing …

    … he may just have got lucky but we’re winning away.

    At least he’s doing better than the wonderful Chris Wilder …

    … Sheff Utd haven’t had a single attempt on target.

    ok 1st half, we had a few really nice passing moves but been a bit too slow and safe at times.

    These are shocking and we should be putting the game to bed in the 2nd half. Can't keep the scoreline like this as they will get some chances this half

    Thought Jobe was different class in that half

    Our usual slow start to the game but we grew into it and deserve the lead at half time.

    An early goal in the second half will settle everyone's nerves.

    All about opinions mate he just looks a little frustrated to me, could be down to the lack of service like you say though, was happy he was willing to take his shot on earlier in the half

    Finding a way again here. Some of the technical changes we make in game really does impress me.

    Rigg and Le Fee wide is clearly a bit unnatural. But Hume and Cirkin are really making their jobs more natural. I am loving Cirkin on the overlap, allows Lee Fee to step in 5 yards. Other side Hume more underlaps, but again gives Rigg ways to play. It is really really smart tactics be Regis.

    We are in control. I want a second though. Set pieces they have a chance.

    Jobe tonight is on it big time. Get him on the charge and it could be the goal. Mayenda causing them all sorts of problems with his movement. Isidor not in it enough for me. In this game he probably needs to show some patience and play off Forsyth and wait. It will come for him. He is so keen he at times moves into other players space.

    It isn’t really working with Rigg out wide. Either switch back to the 4-3-3 and bring Eli out wide, or bring Roberts on. Would like to see some subs this evening if possible!

    He won't the ball and passed it forward when we got the goal? He's been fine imo.

    They are making things happen and controlling their side. I think Rigg is actually playing quite well. Opinions eh

    Been telling you all, top two.

    A point behind Sheffield United as it stands.

    First gear? We haven't got out of neutral and are dominating the game.

    Yeah he won it after losing it with a silly pass into the middle. Passed it 5 years and Jobe did the rest.

    He has had some nice touches and his coming inside but he has been sloppy on the ball. IMO anyway.
