Tough game. The one bit of real quality play won it. Nice to see the team battling for each other at the end.

Mine as well

You can talk sense when you want. Usually when you agree with me

 

[Nick]

Well done boys. Played well in patches and if Man City had scored that goal on such a poor pitch there would be spunk all over the studio.

Looking forward to seeing it on the highlights.

 

[Paxman II]

Kelly was MOTM for me

 

[Astute]

What an absolute disgrace. 2 wins out of 2 games. Taxi for Robins.

An improved performance. Yes they could have scored near the end. But they never gave us much to worry about. A good game for the ticker.

Average but it was very hard working performance again. Dujon 10 out of 10. Westbrook worker socks off as narrow right midfield. Chaplin huffed and puffed but did v little. Great move for goal and tidy finish hiwula. Burge did well with dangerous crosses and back 4 were excellent as a whole . Kelly really in form now. Good win

 

[Nick]

Thought hiwula did well even on the left. His movement is what we have missed. I think half the time he didn't know where he was going to go with it.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Hiwula is the best striker in the squad.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Excellent win. Hyam and Willis were excellent. Westbrook ezcellent second half. Bayliss kept going and Jch was inspired when he came on

 

[ccfcway]

That goal was one of the best team goals I have seen is score in a long time

Yeah jch was on one of his on days. Worked hard and battled.

Should have shot towards the end

 

[westcountry_skyblue]

Just leaving the stadium Sterling and Mason best players on the pitch great move for the goal PUSB onwards and upwards!!!

 

[Liquid Gold]

JCH played well when on but did my head in not taking that pass then not realising the defender had slipped because he was stropping

 

[Nick]

Hiwula is the best striker in the squad.

Great run through and finish. Top scorer i think now?

 

[fernandopartridge]

Sterling looks a class apart now, so cool on the ball and unflustered. The new Roland

 

[shmmeee]

Fell asleep and just woke up. Might do this every game now.

Look at that: Hiwula plays up front and scores, whodathunk?

He was very good when he came on. Should’ve had a dig when Chaplin set him up but apart from that held it up well and bullied them.

Fair play to Chaplin as well (you’d be disappointed if I didn’t mention him Grendel) still sprinting to close down in injury time. Disappointing that he didn’t take that chance (volley) but thought the rest of his game was decent today.

Ps agree with Sterling Motm, followed by Willis and Hyam

 

[Magwitch]

Taking into consideration how young that team was today it’s a great result and I have to say hats off to Robins who I’ve admittedly had the odd grumble about having the bottle to play another young rookie in Westbrook and using the even younger McCallum at such a crucial time.

The chuckle brotheresque from me to you between him and Chaplin was ridiculous! Why are strikers so reluctant to shoot?!

 

[MusicDating]

Two huge home wins. Been ill all over Christmas, will happily keep it going til May if we carry on winning! :emoji_thermometer_face::emoji_stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

 

[Sick Boy]

Sterling my motm again.

Would be great to keep him next season too, unlikely though

Only chance is if we accidentally got promoted. He’s destined for big things.

Chaplin reminds me of Sean Flynn

 

[Dickie]

Anyone listening to Robins on CW? Sounds a bit down in the dumps

 

[vow]

Westbrooke is on the right

Indeed, was looking for opinions tbf.

Thought Westbrooke did well tbh, tracked back, good anticipation and couple of nice touches too.

 

[NortonSkyBlue]

Enjoyed the game and delighted with the win. The back line was excellent,but wow just wow, Dijon Sterling is some player. Kelly was immense too.
Great team goal and great to see Doyle back.
Feet on the ground guys.

 

[Paxman II]

Thomas back for next game says MR's

 

[Sick Boy]

He is indeed, I’m glad he’s silenced the boo boys. Even at Charlton away there a couple of idiots calling him a twat within earshot of him, one of the most embarrassed I’ve been as a city fan

 

[Johnnythespider]

Hiwula is the best striker in the squad.

Agreed

 

[vow]

Wow, Hyam a lot of quality, won everything in the air, composed on the ball, simple short passes and some cracking cross field passes to Sterling too.

Yeah he was loving the diagonal ball from both feet.

 

[cooperskyblue]

Hiwula is the best striker in the squad.

He is a danger, thought he has looked a threat from the first game vs Scunthorpe where he was on the left.
Some people said he would never score goals and doesn't look up to it, but he is showing he can score goals at this level and is learning aswell! Great 2 wins! PUSB

 

[Paxman II]

This thing about McNulty. he couldn't hit a barn door much before Xmas for us then turned it around, got a move but once again when given a chance can't hit a barn door. It's got one season wonder written all over it. So no thanks.

Give him the ball in dangerous areas and he will try and get a shot off!

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Good result. Good defensive performance and Hiwula impressed me up front. But, otherwise a pretty average performance. Robins’ subs were spot on and felt Doyle and Kelly in the middle gave us stability and is something I’d consider going forward.
