After the debacle of Barnsley, I stated that the team arguably didn’t look like they were playing for Warbs.

A lot can chop and change over a Championship season, and no doubt we’ll go through another dip at some point but for now I’m delighted with great back to back wins.

The manner of the win tonight was the most pleasing aspect, didn’t stop pushing and got what we deserved. Dickie was superb, and Niko at LB looked very assured and barely put a foot wrong.

Well done Warbs and the lads
 
Just a random thought on Ilias Chair.

Does anyone else think he seems to have a really immature personality? He sometimes seems petty and kinda cheeky on the pitch. Leaves a toe in on challenges, tries to win free kicks with a dive or bit of play acting here and there.

He's obviously contributing goals and at times looks like he has the qualities to make a good players. However, he is not disciplined and sometimes disappears from games because he begins to play as if he's his own team.

He often has very poor decision making when he has the ball, childishly wanting to take all the shots and not going for really simple passes that would have kept possession.

Sometimes, when players disappear from a game, it's because they can't keep up with it or are getting out played. He just seems to isolate himself and stops working with his teammates.

I don't disagree but there is a player in there somewhere and we might have to be patient with him. Clive at LFW often highlights how many players properly 'come good' after 100 or so league games. Experience matters. He's played about 75 games for us and Stevenage so we should be in a better place to judge him at the end of this season / early next season.

Think you’ll always get a bit of that with the sort of player he is. When he’s good he’s occasionally very good but with the exception of Swansea in the cup against half a reserve side hasn’t really bossed a game. Perhaps he’ll never be all that good consistently but you know when he’s out there he might just do something.

Compare him to the Polish kid for them. Would much rather have Chair based on that.

Eze was similar in winning free kicks. The massive massive difference between the two is that Eze knew where all his team mates were and could effortlessly play a killer pass, Chair has still to learn that. Let's not forget though in Ezes early days went missing for large part of games and Taarabt was the same early doors. I would hope through decent coaching will be taught to know where your team mates are and where the top notch pass is before receiving a pass. I will definitely give him another season in the 10 role to become a very good player. Play him out on the wing like at the start of the season and forget all of the above! Hope BOS is ok looked like a hamstring?
 
That was very pleasing.
We looked in control of the match and ourselves. We were holding everything together...and then Dickie forced his way forward and knew exactly what to do...and so did Bonne. Beautiful.

BOS looked as though he got a groin strain....Doubt he will play over weekend..

Nico played well again...as did Kane.

Mind you the results in the Championship are all over the place...forest and Wycombe winning.
All we can do is keep winning...

I really didn't think the match was awful.
We played some good stuff at times, especially in the first half and should have been at least a goal up at half-time.
They were better second half, but we defended well.

Dickie and Dieng look like making a big difference defensively.
 
Great result & deserved, chair was winding me up as every attack broke down because of him, thought ball was excellent when he came on & brought pace & pushed them forward more, subs I thought was a bit iffy but paid off, onwards & upwards

Needs to be dropped
