I can't work out what to make of Bartley.  His performance in the second half was immense, everything you want from a centre half. That said all the back four were excellent in the second half. I agree about Gibbs putting the performance that someone with his ability and experience should be putting in every week, and Snodgrass is going to offer that bit extra with his commitment.
I thought Robinson put in a shift today especially the defensive side of his game, and HRK did what was needed when he came on.  
I know Pereira scored two (penalties) but I've got to say I thought he looked disinterested and offered little.
But all in all, I won't get carried away by this result, but I'm going to have a very happy weekend.

Fully agree about Pereira. For me he needs to up his fitness and work rate to prove that he is as a Premier League player. He was good for the first 10 - 15 mins and largely anonymous thereafter, bar the penalty.

My doubts about him came last season when he was unable to affect key games. The doubts have continued this year, because he doesn't really look like he's willing to break sweat for the cause. I don't doubt his ability though as he is our most likely player to pick a key pass. He does need to do more though if he wants to be a regular at this level.

You're right that Robbo is a great example. Always busts his gut for the case. Worked hard from up top and was smart enough to go down for the penalty. Just a shame he was stretching too much for our best chance so he was unable to pick his spot.

Only just seen the goals and not sure how we got that first pen. But about time we got some luck with VAR.

Just need to get in touch with all my Dingle contacts in case they need some support.

Sorry cannot agree next to Bartley Pereira was MoM I think I will take Hoddle’s opinion on this one was involved in anything good going forward. Robinson was excellent yes, but he’s not in the Pereira class anyway we should not be moaning we have just beat them Dingles again. We have also climbed back towards the pack.

That's strange agreement considering they are in 9th and 18 points ahead of us. We're not exactly positional rivals.

If it was a loan then ok but he signed on an 18 month contract.
