Gallagher with the goal.

 

[FryattFox]

Delighted. A much needed 3 pts.

 

[bocadillo]

Up to 19th - but Hull are just 2 points behind and kick off at 5:20.

If Hull win by four goals we'll stay 19th.

 

[homer]

Poor second half against an awful team

Had we had two half decent front men we would have pissed it. Sadly we didn't

Lucky to escape at the end - thank feck it was Brown rather than anyone good

 

[Miles Away]

Rambling bollocks from the phone in callers.

That's unusual.

 

[Orifice]

First 'clean sheet' for about 12 games.

Things could be worser.

 

[lazzer]

Good performance from Vitor and Abe in particular.

 

[fitz]

Good result, iffy performance. Impressed with Abe for first time as he looked as if he wanted the ball and knew which country he is standing in. Got barred from The Counting House as well, of all the bars! ****ing student bellends couldn't serve a pint if their life depended on it.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Good performance from Vitor and Abe in particular.

Agreed. Weale started to look dodgy second half.
Battered them 1-0. They never looked like scoring till Brown got on the end of one in injury time.

Too many rushed shots from Waghorn et al trying to emulate Hume and stick it in Row Z.

I have tried to be patient with Fryatt but can someone who was at the match explain to me exactly what his contribution was today?

 

[The Major]

Good first half, not so good second half. Vitor, Wellens and Gallagher were all excellent. Abe wasn't bad, certainly no worse than Oakley. Fryatt and Waghorn were both poor, especially in the second half.
Weale scared the shit out of me a couple of times too.

The Fosse boys are kicking up about something as well.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

If Vassell is fit and rearing to go how about trying Waghorn and Vassell 10 yards either side of Howard. His flick-ons are bound to reach one of them.

No space for Dyer?

Didn't have the right clearance for today, should sorted by Tuesday.

 

[Ike O'Noclassed]

Vitor had a good game (against a poor team - whatever happened to the PNE that beat us this time last year?). Would have been desperate to concede to Brown in injury time - all started from a stupid Oakley tackle when we were running down the clock. Still think fitness is an issue. Gally looked knackered after 50 minutes.

Otherwise, we're looking a bit better.

 

[Jeff]

If Vassell is fit and rearing

Has he had a baby?

 

[Durham Fox]

Best games in a city shirt for Abe and Vitor. Abe looks totally different starting as opposed to being thrown on with garbled messages. Why isn't he taking the corners??

 

[slyfox]

A much needed win against a crap side,Fryatt and Waggy struggled to make any real impact today....but give credit to Vitor and especially Yuki,he looked class at times and that should shut the doubters up on here.

 

[Brown Nose]

We're trying to play some decent football and make things happen but the fitness and confidence just isn't there. The only way to get these things is by grinding out results like the one today on a consistent basis.

Weale worries me, almost as much as Logan. He's not been the same player since the Derby mistake and, if he's not tough enough to get over it, he's never going to be a quality keeper. We need a new keeper to inspire a bit of confidence.

Defensively, Naughton, Vitor, Hobbs, Cunningham and Davies are all quality defenders at this level. What they need is to settle down into a regular group. Berner and Morrison are miles away from the players they were last season and, like Weale, if they can't sort themselves out, they have no future here.

In midfield, Wellens, King, Abe and Dyer are solid enough. The rest are not. None of the forwards have impressed this season. As predicted, as soon as Fryatt got his new contract, he's been shite. Waghorn is young and going through the inconsistent second season. I'm sure he'll come good, but he's not playing well now. We're desperately in need of a player who can play wide right midfield or attack and make an impact with pace and finishing ability.

I have a lot of faith in Sven and think he'll do the business. The most important part of this 'project' of his is to get things going before January so that decent players want to join us.

All five matches in November are winnable. We need maximum points in at least three of them.
