I can think of worse things than having Miggy come on at 60-65 every game.

 

Yeah wasn't a good sentence structure that, the dear, oh dear was directed at Botman's "shot"

Ugly win, but a great win all the same. I'll take that every week!

 

Lots of issues, them dominating the ball second half the main one, but one quality finish and one lucky one, maybe to make up for all the chances we've recently missed, won us the game.

At the back, we had one massive ferk up, but managed the rest and conceding one means scoring two wins the game.

Huge win.

 

Thought the performance was a bit naff but big result. Wolves played some nice stuff in places, had us looking uncomfortable.

 

Thought some of our bigger names were poor. Pope was a bit of a destabilising influence with his ricks, but made some decent stops. Bruno looked a bit demoralised in his play IMO. Drifted around a bit aimlessly and out of shape a bit. Trying to play the killer ball from inside our half a few too many times. Not closing down. Great player so hopefully just a bad day at the office.

 

Isak was a monster! So good. Had the defenders rightly scared and on the back foot. Such an upgrade.

 

Almiron was class off the bench.

 

Can't fault the commitment of anyone. Burn ran himself into the ground. Good character after the equaliser.

We need a better option, but to be fair thought he had a decent game. 

Offered nothing going forward. I didn’t mind seeing his name in the first 11 but he should be playing for someone like Bournemouth or Southampton

Playing two strikers hasn’t been a thing that any club has had much success with for years. There’s the odd exception here and there but it’s been dead since the Sir Alex years. 

 

Its not about playing with 2 strict 'strikers' though, as Wilson would play in/around the box, but Isak plays with a free-er role, even when he's the only 'striker' up there and no-one else seems to be getting in the box when Isak creates the space out wide to play it in. Play Wilson and Isak, so Isak can create and has someone to look for in the box (Wilson).

Fulham goal also showed that it helps Wilson to have someone in the box to aim for too.

Thought it looked like Bruno's ankle still isn't 100%. Could be pure guesswork on my part though. Isak was fantastic, the ball sticks to his foot at times.

Think that's harsh, like. We were flat for an extended period but there was really high quality from so many individuals.

Agree with the high ratings for Willock, he was very good at carrying the ball today and making stuff happen. Great assist too. 

 

We were brilliant from about 20-45 minutes, back to our best in an attacking sense. Second half it was about squeezing out a result. Hopefully this is the start of a good run of form for us now :thup:
