    Here I am Sparks, good win for the boyo's, finally. Good to see Bobby Reid scored, I was getting worried that Warnocks style was ruining such a promising young player.

    Here's to hoping it's not another 3 months to your next win!

    Square pegs, round hole syndrome Supcon.

    It's fair to say Warnock's early preference for big man Zohore up front has been a disaster - and don't start me on Madine! Other combos showed more promise, but Danny Ward getting crocked has meant plan Z up front.

    Originally a full back Paterson pushed forward to lead the line with Bobby buzzing around him, and the spectacular Josh Murphy on the left to provide the width seems the way.

    Gunnar fit and back in midfield for his first game of the season holding the fort allowing Arter to roam had a big impact. Third midfielder Camarasa could then push forward in support of the front 3 meant Fulham looked terrified.

    More of the same will produce more "3 point" games and I doubt we'll have to wait that long for a win again.

    I'm feeling slightly more confident now. Who would have thought of Callum as a striker hey! I mean, I know he always has an eye for goal and knows where the net is, but a striker! I thought Warnock was mad for playing him upfront.. Humble pie tasted sweet on Saturday!

    Bristol City were the most direct team at the CCS last season.

    Thought Bobby would be ok in the right role.

    Anyway lets here it" Bobby Reid is a blue is a blue." You know the rest

    Think you have mixed up your games Hilts. Bristol were very defensive, negative and had only 0-0 in their sights.

    Reid had a nightmare. He was put into midfield and hardly got past the half way line.

    The Wurzels were pretty narked off with Johnson’s tactics that day.

    Fulham were the most direct team with Brentford a close second at CCS last season.

    That was an awful game Hilts... and yeah, the Wurzles were even more hoof ball than we were that day.
    My brother in law was in the away end with his lad and I had the pleasure of driving them home afterwards! :emoticon-0136-giggl

    Did anyone honestly expect to get anything from that fixture? We all like to think we can overturn one of these top half dozen teams none more than me, but that was a clear demonstration that in this division, the divide between top and bottom has become a chasm.

    No matter, we'll just have to keep battling and pick up points from clubs who are no better than us - and there are plenty of them to give us a decent shot at staying up. Our near neigbours in the table, Fulham, Huddersfield, Newcastle and Southampton are all poor, and from what I've seen of Burnley, they are probably as bad if not worse than those.

    Put today behind us and plenty to go for. It should be a rocking atmosphere for the game against Leicester next weekend - a game we should have a realistic chance unlike today. Although Everton up there will be a toughie, for the next 4 games we are in with a shout in all of them.

    Can’t disagree with any of that except as I’ve said on the match day thread I was disappointed with Warnock’s pre match capitulation and the players capitulation on the pitch. Where was the fight?

    It’s going to fester all season the 5 points thrown away v Huddersfield & Burnley :angry:

    Agreed, but we've got to play them both again. <ok>
