That was a masterclass from Dan James on how to play as a winger. Direct, unselfish, running into space and three assists. His work rate was phenomenal considering he’d been on international duty. Piroe should be ashamed by comparison, what a soft, lazy t**t. Tanaka was fantastic again, just the signing we needed, and thought Byram gave us some good width and penetration out wide left. The defence was poor today, thankfully we got away with it. Great to be sitting top, no mistakes on Wednesday and this has the makings of a really good week for us.

I thought byram poor defensively. some better final balls and piroe gets at least a double today.
would it be a suprise if bamford started on Wednesday?

Two of the best defences and 7 goals scored confused.com
Struijk with his 1 mistake per game almost cost us.
Messlier again faced 5 shots 3 conceded but not sure if he could/should have saved at least one of them.
Aaronson doing an impersonation of Jack Harrison and Piroe not at it today.
Tanaka, James and Solomon top class and it shows a resilience and fight in the team which is pleasing to see.
We are quite a small team and tend to get punished by the more physical teams.
But 3 points and 2 gained over Sheffield and Sunderland will do.

I actually thought Bamford might have started today Tad.

think with piroe is you know he isn't a barnstormer CF who will occupy centre half's.
he's intelligent and a top finisher.
like I said today, like all season, our final ball is appalling.
bit more quality and composure and piroe scores today.

Piroe is by far our best goalscorer.
I think the way we play negates his skills as a finisher hence why a hell of a lot of our goals are scored by our wide men cutting inside.

I didnt think Piroe was that bad, like Tad said, he could easily have got a few goals today if the ball in to the middle were better.

What would be the thoughts for Bamford starting tho? Just to get some minutes into him?

meslier had no chance with any of them.

Bring back the boring 2-0 wins any day after that it was a huge result though, absolutely huge.. if we can back up with 2 wins this week that would be superb. Sheff U and Sunderland play each other Friday..

on a serious note I've no idea why people moan about a routine, dull 2-0 win.
it's still 3 points

Yeah i dont get the negativity, I'd take boring wins every day of the week, Farke has one job and thats to get us promoted

Drives me mad when they moan Tad. Crackers. Id take them all day and every day if we are successful.

If we play anything like we should have more than enough, don't need to be changing up the team for Luton, stick to what we do best, pass them to death and play with pace. Can't see Bamford starting. Maybe he needs a good half hour if we're 1 or two up during a game.. I suspect Bamford's time will come in the cup in the new year like last season.

I`d like nothing better than to see Bamford score goals. But I fear Farke no longer has the confidence in him to do that these days.
But you never know he has come back and scored goals in the past.
I also see Messlier is 17th in the League for shots faced/conceded and that is another area that needs to improve.
Get centre forwards scoring and goalkeepers saving and we`re sorted, easy this coaching lark.
