When he replaced Fletcher, he left a clearly tired Campbell up top on his own, with no way to retain the ball. Just inviting pressure back on to us, again and again. Not sure how that's "protecting" a keeper by just not being able to get out on your own defensive 3rd. It worked though didn’t it? We get the points and move on to the next one. Just because something worked doesn't mean it was the right thing to do.

6 Collins sub good Cousins sub awful We need to improve our ball retention because the full backs just get hammered defensively. What’s all this then? Bayern? Attention seeking?! Ok, everyone. Stand down. Nobody react. Don’t respond. Oh. Whoops. I fall for it every time. I just can’t resist. Bayern, seriously, you do come out with some shit.

7. He his starting to remind me of pulisball 😔 How? Well he did shit himself with nearly half hour to play, leaving only one up top for a while which invited more pressure onto us.

8 Although we were open at the time it was mistake to go super defensive towards the end as they had all the possession, corrected things when Vokes and Gregory came on and knew we would see came out from that point.

Well he did shit himself with over half hour to play, leaving only one up top for a while which invited more pressure onto us. Or he tried to tighten the game and kill it off. Which most managers would do at that stage. With better game management we’d have done that and won 4-2 or even 5-2. Hardly Pulis like.

When we went 4-2 we should have immediately gone 352 and stayed that way with just changes for tired legs afterwards. He knew he'd fucked up because he sent 2 strikers back on towards the end when we had no out ball.

He’s basically taken a team certain to go down and turned them into serious promotion candidates in a year. In a pandemic.. fielding a good number of youngsters.

Look, everyone knows on here how much I rate MON and I think he's been terrific but it shouldn't stop a debate when he could do better.

Because TP wouldn’t have sent on two strikers in the last five minutes if we’d be two down let alone one up.

I didn't say he was like Pulis, I said he shit himself and got the timings of the subs and some of the subs wrong

He’s been picking Cousins in his team all week. Surprise surprise! And I would have started him. What has that got to do with the sub? 😂 The sub was totally unnecessary and put us under the kosh even more.

He’s turned around the footballing equivalent of the Titanic which was about to hit the iceberg. And in next to no time he’s made us genuine promotion contenders on a virtual shoestring. 6 out of 10? For a home win? Minus our goalie and back up goalie? Rubbish.

Again I thought we didn’t play well but we have the best front 3 in the league.

It’s a results based business 0-1 down two keepers missing ahd the player of the season and to come back and win and strangle a free scouting game at the death is Perry good for me , he came through a very tricky game when the fates were against us in advance and after 20 mins was great . 10.

Or make a manager inclined to try and close down a game you’re comfortably ahead in? To go in to that game hamstrung by losing both first choice keepers and come out with three points is in itself deserving of 8/10. Yet again you’re virtually on your own in awarding ridiculously low marks. But yet again you won’t admit to what is, as ever, blatant attention seeking. More fool me for responding I guess.

It does, it makes backs to the wall tactics even worse! And it’s not. We put out a good damn good side and won playing badly because we have an outstanding front 3. No because we played poorly, conceded 3 which is poor however you swing it. Most people expected us to win this before kick off. We did but made a meal of it.
