Nice to see we've mastered the fine art, go on the lads! Only taken 3 months

Glad they’ve finally jumped on the band wagon. It’s about time.

It's clearly been talked about and they "managed" the second half much better today with all kinds of time wasting and staying down for ages etc. It's obviously complete shithousery but what can you do if every other club is doing it? It has to be done and they did it well today and need to keep on doing it.

Its all about killing the game and though it's not good to watch it works and we did it well today. I'd rather win ugly than lose in the way we were doing. It was almost like we were too comfortable.

Think we swung a bit too far with some of the yellows being proper stupid. That must encourage the officials to add even more injury time.
But it's a good reaction overall - we were too soft before. Hopefully MON will fine tune things.

Typical that the first time we took the piss doing it the ref adds on six minutes.
Lost count of the times other sides have done it to us only for the ref to add on three minutes at the end.

The really annoying thing though is how often do the opposition get cards for time wasting at ours, hardly ever and they do it far worse than we did today

Pretty much straight after we scored both today and against Blackpool we had a player go down “injured.”
It’s about time we joined in with this, give us a minute or two to calm down and focus the mind.
Need to refine the game management with regards to bookings though, as many of them are needless and you’re always running the risk of getting sent off.

Am I alone in being really uncomfortable about us taking up what we have, in my opinion rightly, been slagging off teams such as Bournemouth for doing.

Not alone, like I said I think we went too far with some stupidity today. It's a fine balance and I don't like that it's in the game. I'm happy for the refs to dish out the yellows and add on plenty of time, if all the officials did that every week it would be a better league.

Cant beat em join em, why should we rush around when we're in front? You take the sting out the opposition attacks and break up momentum and we did that perfectly today, credit where its due.

Bournemouth and Burnley are or were awful for it. Faking head injuries in that game against Bournemouth when we were in the Prem sticks in my mind. Eddie Howe should be ashamed of himself for allowing that to happen. It must’ve been 4-5 times after they went a goal up.

It has to be done and they did it well today and need to keep on doing it. It’s nothing to do with the fact other teams waste time. Managing the game is a part of good football and winning matches once you get in front. I wish we could manage the game by keeping the ball rather than wasting time from the beginning of the second half and what you refer to as shithousery. We just seem to do it the hard way which is hard on the nerves. Today we won.

To be fair over half of the time added on related to the 6 substitutions in the second half and the injury - or was it 2 injuries?

I thought it was just me who wanted to see my team win by playing better football than the opposition! So do I take it all those posters who moan about Bournemouth will never moan again? I fucking hate teams whose players go down and feign injury at every opportunity, and don’t even mention “taking the ball into the corner” to me! Teams should be penalised by an indirect free kick if they do it. Call me old-fashioned but I want to be entertained, not embarrassed by my team!!

I thought Fletcher had seriously injured himself when he went down just after the goal.

I found it refreshingly funny at times today, but it's not something I'd like to see us making a habit of. It was nowhere near Howe's Bournemouth levels of unsportsmanship. I think there's a happy medium and we had players like Huth and Walters who were great at gamesmanship in the past, though they were two players who would never feign injury.

My point on game management weeks ago, or lack of it, was when we let that first goal in against Cardiff a player or two of ours should have gone down with cramp, moaned about breaking a finger nail, anything.
You're 3-1 up, they've just nicked a goal, don't let it become a cup tie. Let it feel like a consolation.
Kill the game, the momentum.

I 100% agree but I doubt we’d have got the results we’ve had in these two away games if we’d beaten Cardiff.

Timewasting is now Time management and a cynical last minute clogging foul is a professional foul , why cant they just leave it as it is ?

However, I am not sure all of it was time wasting and more a case of players not making themselves available for a throw in. We are still very much a WIP but moving in the right direction again.

10 yellow cards in 4 days. Bursik feigning injury. Pure shithousery from early doors. Loving it. But let's stop the blarting about Bournemouth. It's just that we are late to the party .

You only have to do it when you're winning. And maybe, on the odd occasion you'd take a draw.
I'm not against it when late on in a game and a goal up. Loads of other teams do it.
Taking the sting out of a team that's chasing a goal, or an equaliser, all part & parcel.

If the fiasco of Cardiff had never happened I actually think we could well have lost those last 2 away games.I certainly don't think we'd have won both.
So every cloud...
