Thought apart from when he stupidly let it through his legs and we nearly got caught on the counter. He was flawless, defensively. Just read every long ball, pass and cross from them. Constantly one step ahead. I think it might be because the levels have gone up so much and the players have been improved or upgraded. But my opinion on him and his attributes since Howe has come in, have totally switched. I used to think he was always great on the ball and his long passes were class. I now find his casual passing and often aimless, low percentage long balls really annoying. I used to think his defending left a lot to be desired and he was always prone to a howler. Getting caught out of position, not tracking a man, fucking about on the ball etc. It's now the total opposite and I think he's been our best defender this season.

Yeah, he is always looking for a quick ball. Then just settles down and gives it to Schar or Burn, if nothing is on. Loved his tackle on Barnes

Used to be one behind me that got stuck into everyone and was generally miserable. But he was funny with it, due to always getting players names wrong. Wayne Ruttidge and GOUTtierez were my favourites.

Wasn't aware he was ever out of form? Quality away at Leicester. Don't remember him being off it against Leeds? Decent against Arsenal, but hard after an early yellow and a totally different game to what we're used to. Half hour against Sheff Wed, where he was head and shoulders above anyone else on the pitch.

I like dance music, anyway. But since Arsenal away, I've been on an 00's cheesy dance hype. Ahh, the nostalgia.

So good, man Was whistling and singing this for an hour this morning whilst out walking the dog

Aye, tend to agree. You can tell Wilson has come from the lower leagues and just loves that side of the game. When you watch him live, it looks like he's close to throwing hands with centre backs. Always niggling at them, tight where they're both pulling each others shirts, getting his body in the way and buying free kicks. He's really good at it. He looked a lot better on the highlights than I gave him credit for. Was involved in loads of our decent chances and some quality centre forward play.

Was brilliant for the second goal, mind.

Yep. One of the first things I noticed was how good his first touch was. His technique is outrageous. I think from years of signing mostly crap and not regular internationals. It has been amplified and really stands out.

What was that dance?!

I might be remembering it wrong. But reminded me of the Enrique goal against Forest.

Good to see some through balls from him and trying to get the odd cross in. He’s been outstanding all season. If he starts adding assists to his game. Then we are going to bury teams.

Loved that he got Perez back. Also flattening the ref Proper emotional player. Definitely getting a red or two for us at some point during his career. Superb all round.

Machine like tonight. Giving a Botman a run for his money in the Terminator stakes.

Fucking superb game from him. Can seem like he has drifted out the game. Then he just appears and steals 50 yards just jogging past players Hard to give him MOTM. As I feel like him And Goalinton come as a pair. So they should both get it. The Big Joe/Little Joe left hand side of the pitch. Where opposing players go to die.

Absolutely buzzing for him. Who would have thought it would come on his right peg with a cultured finish Thought he was never gonna score. His headers are always rubbish. Petition to add a chorus to his song. Never ever beat, never ever beat, never ever, never ever beat Dan Burn.

Thought he has looked a bit slow to react at times. But still a nuisance up there and done ok with what service he has had.

Those great runs from deep into space, that he times so well. Are almost becoming pointless. As his final pass, touch or shot. Are almost always crap. Really frustrating. Just lacks any sort of composure the minute he gets within 30 yards from their goal.

Yeah. Looked dangerous and they are leaving loads of space in behind for us to overhit the ball into. Sorry, I mean run into. Not sure going 4-4-2 or 4-2-4 is the answer just yet, either

He’s a cock. Can’t stand him. Always sounds so dramatic about everything and all. Send him back to commentate on lower league games.

First 20 was some of the best stuff we’ve played all season. Final ball is rushed, snatching at finishes and the last touch before getting in on goal is usually off. They came into it a bit and our aimless long balls to no one helped them. But we finished strong and still look the more likely if we stopped panicking in front of goal.

I was buzzing. Until I just heard Andy Hinchcliffe on co-comms Worst of the lot on Sky.

Solid stint from RS. Been on the lash since Saturday and he’s still going. Proper session, that.

In the squad tonight by the looks of it.

Got to have a charmed run in the FA or League Cup, if you’re going to get to the semis or final and not play any of the Sky 4 or 6. It’s the thought of actually being in a position to win something. Even if we were like 8/1 dogs. It would still be amazing.
