Initially 8 from me.
There is definitely a good side there.
-1 for Jordan Thompson coming on. Not needed.
So overall 7.
If I included the Laurent sub which I think is its worst he's ever made then that would be -1,000,000

5 He got a bit of luck today which to be fair has been in short supply for him this season. But he really has to stop picking his favourites when there are better options in the squad.

Definitely has his faves, or are they his signings and not Jareds? Playing devils advocate here, but why use Johnson where he did today when you have Juhno who is more mobile and clever? I predicted he would drop Junior for Hoever, worked out okay but could have completely blown up against Clarke. Is he being a stubborn shit bringing on Laurent? Why Leris and not a far more attacking Haks? We needed that today, only becomes a good result with at least a point on Wednesday. |

Can’t really argue with the starting line up, and the timing of the subs was correct. Even bringing Laurent on, now he’s seen how much fight is in him he hopefully won’t bother next time.

Anything that sticks it to that conceited, arrogant and self righteous lot is great by me. Blunderland, the gift that keeps on giving.
Well done Alex lad.

If they'd equalised there'd have been a meltdown on here about the negative subs. Alternatively you could say it saw the game out! Personally speaking my heart rate went up markedly due to his substitutions, they really invited them on to us!  |

8 dropped Laurent which was a big call, maybe should have bought on Haska for Vidigal but all 3 central midfielders were on yellow cards so can see the reasoning behind Thompson and Laurent. A massive 3 points against a side that was in form and top 4. Gouranga.  |

6.5 - On reflection, a positive set up with some bright spells. Think we were quite lucky to come away with 3 points. A better team would have buried many of the Sunderland chances. Bringing Laurent on was disappointing, he is not up to it. Room for improvement. Leeds will be a better barometer of our capabilities.

7 - Even first half, well on top in the second until the substitutes, but I think it was forced by the number of yellow cards being dished out. Couldn't risk going down to 10.

Whether it’s his favourites or he’s being a cock about things who knows but some players seem to have to do more to keep their place than others most other players would have been hooked at half time for the display Johnson gave first half. |

4...does he realise subs are there to make you stronger?? Laurent is taking the piss but he brought him on. Thompson is a booking any day of the week. He was more interested on not losing than winning well!!

Precious points on the board for Alex.
We are going to get stronger and gel into a decent team.
Vidigal and Mmaee are developing nicely.
Bit of luck today but it's about time.
Couple of decent acquisitions in January and a push for the play-offs

Whatever number represents average or non descript, i mean at corners the urgency to take it so like having a creamed tea, whilst discussing if jam should be applied first. Don’t get it. Some good spells to few and far between. I kinda get they are still learning to play play with one another, some decisions to try take a player on or just lay it off to a team mate was surprising at times especially when it’s executed in such a casual affair. Just motions good job Sunderland approached it in the same manner. Glimpses of what could be but comedy moments at times.

Complete new squad still trying to gel, injuries galore - all about scrapping out some wins and staying out of trouble initially.
Hopefully we can get a bit more luck and get something from the Leeds game and with it some confidence and start pulling away from the bottom before we get to the January window - got some winnable games in November and I want to see some good positive performances.

7. Started with a positive line up and on the front foot. Good to see other teams having to worry about us and we clearly had quality in the starting 11. The substitutions were the negative for me. I would have preferred positive subs such as Haksabanovic for Mmaee or Vidigal and Junho for Johnson which would have given a better opportunity to keep taking the game to them. As it was the subs he made, reduced the quality and lead to a nervous finish and relief at the final whistle rather than elation!

Would have been a 9 but lost two points due to:
1 - Bringing Laurent on and then not subbing him back off after 10 mins
1 - not playing Junior and Junho
Otherwise everything else worked (just about!) to plan

No Junior and Johnson starting was shit.
Dropping the hapless Laurent was good to see.
And we won, so 8 will do.
