And nobody has pointed out the pass from Dawson with the outside of his foot to start the move for the second goal.

That whole second goal was top quality from Dawson to the finish by Gibbs

Good 3 points for us.
Celebrate the excellent away win against a promotion rival.

What happened to Barry in the second half ?
Looks like he finally decided to turn up and play for the Albion,
Rolled back the years
But
I'm all for playing football even out if defence but at school we were told there's a right time to do it and not to do it.
Make no mistake playing that way we should have been three down after 30 Mins, this can't be right.
It's a shame because in the 2nd half we were so comfortable and looked a top class team in this Division, so as Zinny said kudos to the management team.
But sometimes playing from the back like that we always look like conceding and this is of our own doing.
I'm sure a clean sheet is round the corner because whatever tweaks were done at half time really worked

It's maddening that a team capable of controlling the game in the second half like that against Sheffield, is the same team that performed so ignominiously against both Hull and Wigan. Absolutely agree that Barry was fantastic. Agree too with Zinman about that pass. I wanted to see a rerun of Dawson's through ball which with all due respect to Phillip's trickery, was what created that opportunity. You would never have heard the last of it if Pogba or Kante had made such a pass. I did not know Dawson had it in him. His mid- to long-range passing is usually awful.
I felt the second half was the best we have played all season. We looked like a Premier league club with all the "big" players looking class acts.
Moore and Jones must strive harder to keep players' performance levels up in the second half of the season. We still have plenty of very decent players - Sako, Brunt, Morrison and Hoolahan who are capable of making significant, if cameo, contributions.

We have the players to not only do a good creative job in the last 20 or so minutes, but also to use their experience and see the game out if needs be
