Anyone else brought back down to earth when Captain Calamity came on?  I'm so impressed by the Schär-Burn partnership, it feels like we've turned a corner. Seeing Lascelles again was like looking back to the turgid past.

 

Didn't put a foot wrong when he came on, so no, not really. 

[Pokerprince2004]

Fantastic 3 points. 2 points ahead of Brentford with 2 games in hand seems mental. They were miles ahead of us at Christmas. Howe has been absolutely brilliant, even though they were down to ten men after 10 minutes I still divnt think we'd have won under the cabbage

[Doctor Zaius]

Tremendous result. Slice of luck with the rush of blood from their lad and the sending off. Joelinton was quality, Fraser was a great outlet throughout too. Defended well.

 

Needed that imo. Big, big result.

 

Howe has done some job.

Burn had changed our centre back play, his voice and pulling everyone into positions is just brilliant.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I would’ve brought on Longstaff but it worked out well.

Unbeaten in 7 and only 4 goals conceded. Mad how much more organised and well drilled we are. ? 

Burn is the bargain of the season for me.

I know he didn't, but like with cheeseslice, I always worry he's capable of doing so.

What an organised performance. We didn't get greedy and managed the game very well. You can clearly see what Bruno brings to the team as he is totally different to what we have. Imo he will become better when he has a striker who can get onto his through balls.

Targett and Joelinton were fantastic today. 

What a different side we look.

Bruce would've had us playing for a 0-0 draw if the circumstances had been the same. Nailed on. And we all know it.

Annoyingly though our form will be because of the money and not Eddie, when the gulf in class and ability between our previous manager and our present one, is clear for even a blind man to see.

This. Most went for Bruno (who has barely played) and Wood (who hasn't scored). Four points on the road without ASM, Trippier, and Wilson.

 

Howe making a claim for manager of the season.

He played really well against Everton before he got ill, so I've got confidence he can do a job under Howe and improve his performances same as so many other players have

He gets a lot of hate on here but he's always given his best and has been decent for spells (particularly under Rafa). He's only still here because of Ashley not investing not his fault at all. Will get a good reception from me when he does eventually come back with a different club

Surely going to include the first 3 years of the 14 any time soon. 

[BergenMagpie]

So weird to see a textbook win. Kinda felt like a friendly 

 

Joelinton man, what a player. Worth every fucking penny 

[Gallowgate Toon]

Totally professional.

 

Amazing stuff, man.

Still find that so weird to see, but well deserved, and considering this team is nowhere near as good as the one 11 years ago, even more impressive.

Clean sheet in the bag too 

[RS]

Man that was a massive win. Absolutely cracking result. It the takeover hadn’t went through we would have been rock bottom with probably seasons ahead of us in the championship. 
 

And here we are currently 14th in the table and only behind Liverpool in the current form table. 
The city is buzzing again and the love for the club is almost at Keegan era levels. Feels fucking magnificent. 

[geordiekris]

Are we basically mint now?

It does feel a bit like that again.

The red card was the perfect start for us but was impressed with how we totally dominated the game. Didn’t look in any doubt whatsoever.

 

This is spot on. Imagine the same game but with Bruce on the sideline. We would probably still have taken the lead but the last 40 minutes would be nervous, pathetic all out defensive cowardice.

Fuck that fat jammy cunt.

 

[Emotic]

Funniest thing for me today were those co-commentators taking turns to go on long soliloquys about how amazing a footballer Eriksen was, all the while we were comfortably passing the ball around and Brentford wasn't seeing any of the ball at all.
