Yeah, I agree with the spirit of that. Although this Nardi/general football thing of never catching the f*cking ball I find hard to wrap my head around. He's also 31 now, which isn't very old for a keeper, but he's unlikely to change/improve now. (We don't seem to have coached much, or very effectively - much like the rest of our defence - though it did pretty well last night.)

Julien Stephan - He is doing quite well !!!!

Agree with this tone of cautious optimism. Recent reasons to be cheerful (1,2,3), though the squad is still short (both literally and metaphorically) in places, and I worry 3-game weeks with a bit of travel will come back to bite us. Injuries will inevitably also shape the season. Now we're in the top 6 though, is there any reason why we shouldn't stay there?

Not a vintage performance by any means, but a just result - just!

Can we 'confeerm' ourselves now as playoff contenders?

Ridiculous booking for Kyogo there, who bears a strange resemblance to early career Thom Yorke, and their yellow for the Dembele free wasn't one either.

Dembele's shooting is shocking, and he's been really off it since he came on.

Dykes' efforts since he came on are ridiculous, compared to what he did for us.

And Dykes for Lisa Stansfield. He won't - will he?

Really bad miss from Kone. Still has lots to do at this level, I feel.

7 defeats, neg. GD, but still 6th as it stands. Mad league.

Have to agree. Mediocre Champ fare, though we're 1-0 up. Kone, Burrell, Nardi and one or two others all sub-par for me. No one more than a 6, Saito and Smyth have done OK.

Nardi-esque flap from their keeper - Cook might have done better with the follow-up.

Brum comms saying it was a poor goal for them to concede and, bizarrely, thety'd been controlling the game. In fact, it was a great cross from Saito, and a gutsy effort from Jimmy to get on the end of it. Deserved.

With their away record, we need to go for the throat now. 2-0, and they'll wilt.

There's really not much to choose between the likes of us, WBA, and Brum, is there? I suspect we'll all end up somewhere between 16th and 16th. It's the sacred call to our people.
