Despite the two goals I think my favourite part of that was that Wigan free kick in second half

Most bizarre set piece I've ever seen. I can't even work out what his intention was.

Vik? Yeah, I’d say he’s the laziest player, but that’s a very high bar cos we have a hard working team. Point is he’s white so no one ever calls him on it. It’s not a problem, attacking players should be saving their energy.

Careful

 

[covcity4life]

Best chance to get back to the prem in a long long time. I hope we don't sell any of our elite players in January. You never know this could be the season that something magical happens for this club

Goodnight!

 

[jordan210]

Remember when Brighton fans said Gyokeres was shit haha

 

[Finham]

Great result, can’t believe someone’s first thought after that is to call up CWR and moan about palmer not being good enough

Disgusting, hope he's ashamed of himself.

 

[covcity4life]

Careful

You know who will post "grow up" or "oh dear" to nip it in the bud don't you worry. We must not have this conversation. Better to ignore it and continue to make some old stupid judgements for more seasons to come

 

[covboy9]

Robins has us in position for a playoff push but won’t receive the backing of the owners

9th-12th is our spot

vik is contracted to 2024 but 10mill ok table and off he goes to the prem I can’t begrudge him that it would be nice if he finished the season tho

 

[glasgowfan]

Sell Gyokeres and with the money we could outbid Ashley for the Arena

White: wtf ! Have you had a few sherbets ?

 

[Frostie]

2nd best defensive record in the division, with Wilson in goal and Hyam sold to Blackburn....who would have bet on that at the start of the season ?

Ivan Toney?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Remember when Brighton fans said Gyokeres was shit haha

The ones I know said he was just unlucky in being signed too raw and at too young an age to be given a runout but too old to be kept in the U23s.

£10m would be sale of the fucking century. He’s worth double that.

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

Good sides find a way to win when they are not at their best.
If you can’t win pretty,win ugly.

You don’t think Viktor Györkeres is white? I’ve got to say I wasn’t expecting that push back!

 

[lord_garrincha]

Ivan Toney?

You reckon he writes on the bookies slip without looking?

 

[Macca]

Hes not even fucking close to lazy either. Was chasing down all sorts again. Vik is probably the laziest player we have and no one ever mentions it (plus it means he can do things like that in the 95th minute)

Neither Palmer or Vik are lazy.

 

[hill83]

Posting in this thread incase I get called out in another thread.

 

[Frostie]

The ones I know said he was just unlucky in being signed too raw and at too young an age to be given a runout but too old to be kept in the U23s.

Yeah, it was the Swansea fans that said he was the worst player they've ever had

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Sell Gyokeres and with the money we could outbid Ashley for the Arena

Keep Gyokeres, Ashley buys the arena and the club then we make a promotion push

 

[no_loyalty]

Remember when Brighton fans said Gyokeres was shit haha

The Swansea fans also thought he was garbage.

We will all be Swansea when Josh Reid joins Wigan & turns into Roberto Carlos.

 

[shmmeee]

I didn’t say he was. I said he was the laziest player. He often looks disinterested until the ball comes near him. I don’t think it’s an issue cos there’s more to football than constant running and you want him to do that in the final minute, but if you’re someone who wants to call a player lazy for some reason there’s far more reason to call Vik lazy than Palmer.

 

[no_loyalty]

We battered them second half, got that bit of luck with the deflection to force them to come out. Vik’s goal was absolutely outstanding, the power, pace and finish was unreal. We need that takeover before the January transfer window otherwise he will be sold.

Ridiculous post - you hit your head?

 

[David O'Day]

The Swansea fans also thought he was garbage.

they are mostly a clueless bunch as well

 

[Bounce Back]

Remember last year when everyone labelled Shipley lazy? Racists the lot of them

 

[CCFCSteve]

Not pretty first half but all over them second. Some great performances again, Sheaf, Hamer and defence. What a goal from Vik !

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

Please tell me you’re trying to wind people up. Because if you’re not you are an idiot

 

[CCFCSteve]

Can we not just cancel this bloody world cup malarkey and get on with our season? Last thing we want or need with our form is to have to stop for a few weeks!

I bet the players need a breather with the run of games. It’s also when injuries start to happen. Shame it’s not a shorter break though

 

[PVA]

Hope the world cup doesn't scupper our momentum but yeah a few players could do with the rest I'm sure

What a ridiculous comment. The only criticism I give him is he sometimes doesn’t see a pass that’s a better option than shooting but I forgive strikers for being selfish.
The bloke doesn’t stop running. Even saying he is the laziest player is just utter shite.

 

[wingy]

Where's Sisu taking em then Tenerife or Dubai

 

[Gint11]

My only criticism for tonight was too many tippy tappy passes on the edge of the box. 470 passes in the game, 2 shots on target. Less passes on the edge, more shots please. Other than that, a solid performance and a great win and yet another blooming clean sheet. You just love it

good fun playing Saturday and Tuesday when we keep winning!
