Kenny is really good, and makes things happen, but him and Anelka  dont belong in the same sentence!

They do not belong in the same book

RR and Sheehan together compliment each other and Stepover Shirley was MOM for me they could not cope with him let’s hope he can keep it up .

I enjoyed seeing us score a goal by going long yesterday

In our last 4 away games, we've scored 3 goals and all 3 were very much the result of long balls.

Going back further - at Rotherham 1st goal a set piece but 2nd a long ball for Kenny to create from.  Very similar for the important first goal at Exeter.  And Wimbledon, on the break.

Encouraging that we are scoring all those "long ball/quick break" goals away from home, and also maybe emphasises that all the possession/tippy tappy stuff is only a means to an end because we're rarely scoring from them, away.

Thought it was one of Sheehans quieter games which was no surprise everything was 100mph and they, to their credit never give us time to settle......If we play them in the play-offs i would like to see Erhahon  come in on the away leg and Sheehan play the home leg

Agree but I don't think we were dominated in midfield. I think on paper Sheehan Rodrigues is too weak but it kind of works. Rodrigues does like putting a foot in.

Rodrigues is ace. Works incredibly hard for a ‘flair’ player. Thinks he’s a missing ingredient 

He looks a good un.

Didn't realise he was a permanent signing assumed he was on loan!

Agree, he has really settled now and starting to shine. I would be interested to see how his distance covered stats compared with others as he was popping up all over the pitch. Even late on we lost the ball near there box, and he had been involved, next thing he is the one covering in our box. 

Best box to box midfielder we have had in years, perhaps what we thought/hoped Simons would be, but hasn't delivered

I'm not really sure why some folk expected so much of Simons straight away. Hopefully, he'll get better as he gets older but I wouldn't be starting him now as things stand.

I'm not sure there was an expectancy of Simons as such, it's just that he was so impressive early on.

His form fell off a cliff, but that early form showed there is a very good player in there. Definitely not one to be written off.

Plus I thought he was about 30 :D

Agree and what surprised me about him is that he's not afraid to put his foot in when required
