Intensity both when we have and don't have the ball. We actually put them under pressure.
And it was nice to feel relaxed for the final 10 minutes for once.

Amazing how we were led to believe that the players didn't want Sparky to go.
Wouldn't fucking run or work for him though would they!

The board must act now and bring in two players. A fast and hardworking destroyer in midfield and a battering ram forward that can score.
They simply MUST!

People should be mindful of who we played. I'm struggling to think of a worse side than Huddersfield in the 10 years we've been in the PL.
Thought we played OK as soon as we calmed the fuck down and stopped hoofing it aimlessly.

I thought the first half was an absolutely dire display. Much better 2nd half. Much more fluid. Seems to have gone back to basics such as clearing your lines when under pressure, getting tight and putting tackles in all over the pitch. This is obviously essential due to the position we're in and should be applauded. Needs must right now...but long term I hope to god the football isn't like it was for large parts of today.
But a win is a win, plus a clean sheet, so for that I'm chuffed.
But let's also face facts, Huddersfield were dreadful and we'll have to be better than that to continue winning games.

The fact is we've lost to teams like Huddersfield before now. I thought it was a breath of fresh air. We actually looked better in the second half. We actually got in behind their defence. I for one hope the football continues to be just like that. |

Funny old thing the more we pressed the more fell for us. 50:50s land for you and demoralise the opposition. Saving throw ins, not messing about at the back, facing up to your opposite number to keep them honest. Not complicated is it?
The harder you work the luckier you get. Watch Pep's teams or Klopp's. More of the same please Lambo.

Agreed, but this is a team that is sorely lacking confidence, so the first half poor performance is explainable. It was a relegation 6 pointer and in the second half we really dominated and 4 nil wouldn't have flattered them. Don't forget just over 2 weeks ago we were lucky to escape from their place with a point. Great result but lots yet to do. Enjoy tonight but let's not get hysterically delirious just yet |

Agree,we have needed that sort of player for a long time,if we get the two right players it really would turn our season round there is nothing we need more,could you imagine denis zakaria and vincent aboubakar in that team today,it would improve us tenfold,we should spend big money on those type of players if we need to,get them in now and build a team around them next season. |

They had a lot of the ball and although they didn’t trouble jack it was end to end at times. It was a decent game as well |

First half was busy and quick and enthusiastic but devoid of quality and I’d have bet the farm on a 0-0.
Second half was more controlled, had more cutting edge and the pockets of quality told. Adam’s ball into the channel was superb for the first, Shaq’s assist for the second was basically pornography.

So the fact that we’ve beaten anybody is a minor miracle. If we build on today for Watford I think we’ll have another 3 points and will be sitting a bit prettier in the table too |

I’m fucking delighted to beat them. |
