Goal has knocked us way off our stride 

That and Raphael coming on to push down our left flank. Gale and Conway need to watch him and we need to cut out the sloppy passes.

Maybe Sheehan on to slow things down?

[Wanderlust]

We’re putting pressure on ourselves here.

How many corners do they want to gift them

I'd definitely rather we get the next goal but we're 3 up with 10 + injury time to go

[Wanderlust]

Fucking hell Johnston- how many corners?

[Bryan458]

Johnson is the worst player on the pitch by a country mile

Great block first half, credit where credits due.

Maybe 8 mins of injury time so far?

He’s been invisible so far.

That Johnston is having a mare second half though 😀

Also amuses me when folk still call Johnston Johnson despite him being with us for years.

I’d like to think so too but the table doesn’t lie unfortunately and neither does 4 wins in 20. We look impressive and have all the good looking moves but…

But .............😁

[Wanderlust]

Excellent first half, slacked off a bit second, but who gives a monkey’s?
Shut Wigan up, three points and above all a forward line that finally looks potent.

Great first half. Got the ball forward so effectively down both wings and centrally through Forss.

The players seemed up for it too.

Much no nonsense defending on show.

Only negative for me, Johnston is a clumsy get and better teams, if there are any, will target him.

Cracking stuff.

That's the team

SS don't start any of the midfield and attackers for the micky mouse mid week shite ta

[waffer cup 07]

Looked like a foul on Gale, before their goal.

[Didledee]

1st half terrific and Gale was great, but 2nd half was less so,  Forino shouldn't allow a player like Mullin who isn't gonna do anything but what he did in terms of working it on his right foot, apart from that he won almost everything and was excellent.

They had a lot of corners and Johnstone kept giving them away unnecessarily, he did block some crosses first half and you saw in his fist pumping he was very happy with his defending but I feel was can do better in that position, 

I know Dalby knocked one down for one of our few chances 2nd half for Simons volley, but I don't see much from him when he plays, just looks a like a tall player who'll come alive with crosses/long balls etc, perhaps the City u21 game will be an opportunity to see him get chances and off the mark.

Great goal from Burstow and Forss took his goals very well, Gale the standout for me today, 2nd half did drop but when you're 4-0 up it's expected when 3 points are pretty much in the bag, was thinking we could match that 6 or 7 we got v Sunderland and Exeter though.

Sorry for picking out some weak points, 4-1 is a great score, especially against a side who has done us like this in recent seasons, long unbeaten run continues and our attackers all heavily involved again, just not in the 2nd half when the game was done.

...

 

also Simons 2nd half with his back to goal did a lovely little feint to turn past a cluster of players, reminded me of how Okocha used to get out of situations when seemingly under some pressure, lovely bit of play that.

Calm down. 

Worst thing we can do is waltz in to this fixture with that outlook. Been our worst enemy down the years v these.

Can I change it to 4-1 ?

Wish we could fast forward past both mate, don't expect us to get anything from either unfortunately 

Hope I'm 

Glorious, simply glorious. 

COYWM,  let's kick on now 💪

[Arrested development]

No bad players today. Everyone had a good game. Johnston was good when he had to be. That's the performance we have been threatening. Forss made a difference but Gale was MOTM. Unplayable. COYWM. 

I'd like to see their goal again to see if TSL could of got near it. Looked like it was a great goal but again their only shot goes in.
