[St Charles Owl]

Huge win for us, we really needed that. Good performance all round and completely deserved the points. Good to keep a clean sheet as well.

Well that's more like it, CC's job safe for awhile after that, whatever we think about him.

Great all round performance today 3 good goals 0 conceded, Leeds beaten and could have been a lot worse for them and some very good football played .. no complaints from me today

Charlie's Optimistic Ratings!!

Great and much needed 3-0 win. Could have been 5 easily, although they did have some chances early in each half. Aside from their 15 min spells in each half we dominated the game, creating by far the better chances!!

Wildsmith - 7, aside from a mix up with Van Aken he didn't put a foot wrong.  Good distribution as well.

Reach - 6, maybe a bit harsh but he was definitely the busier FB with most of their efforts coming down his wing.  Not a ton of help ahead of him as Bannan was floating into the middle.
Van Aken - 6, still early for him, mix up with Wildsmith but aside from that he was solid.  Good with the ball at his feet and can play a pass better than Lees.
Lees - 7, didn't really put a foot wrong and seemed to lead more than he has been doing.  Dangerous on set pieces for us, needs to do more of that!!
Hunt - 7, him and Wallace were dominating their wing before the injury, hope its not too bad but it looked liked he knew something had gone in his knee.

Bannan - 8, started on the left but was more effective when he came more central. Works so hard and when he runs forward with the ball he always causes problems.
Lee - 8, him and Bannan get each other, one sits the other goes forward and vice versa. Great goal as well.
Jones - 6, did nothing special, but then thats his job. Protected the back 4 and when he gets the ball he makes the simple pass to Bannan or Lee.
Wallace - 7, very good down the wing with Hunt and much better set pieces. Will get himself sent off at some point with his stupid antics.

Hooper - 9, MOM, should have had 4 goals today, scored 2, hit the bar and missed another good chance. Worked hard all match and was involved in all our good forward play. Top scorer in the Championship now with 7 goals!!
Fletcher - 7, works well with Hooper but still doesn't win enough headers for me, hold the ball up ok. Should have scored in the first half.

Subs
Palmer - 6, couple of shaky moments but on the whole did ok, looked good going forward.
Butterfield - 6, held his own, more defensive than Bannan but that allowed Lee to get forward more. Did the job he was brought on to do.
Rhodes - N/A, not on long enough to rate, but did set up Hooper nicely when he hit the bar.

CC - 7, Got the team selection right on the day and the subs made sense. Not much else he can do I suppose, players let him down last week, they kept him employed this week!!!

Officials - 7, thought the ref did well, he let challenges go, didn't flash the cards when he could have and allowed the game to flow which maybe suits us better. Both linesmen though made poor decisions for both teams but especially for Lee who was a yard onside of two defenders near him!!

Wow! Just seen your result, which really surprised me tbh. Fantastic (especially as I f*cking hate Leeds). Hope this kicks your season off.

[Imre varadi]

didnt watch the first half as i was still in bed and boycotting Wednesday and will do so until we beat the pigs at the lane (i hope ) so no more daft of oclock kick offs for me but i did watch the second half and i can say positively it was 50/50 to me as the attacking was very good and some of the passing at times between 3 and 4 players was as good as Barcelona could produce shame about the finishing though but at 2 up ill forgive that Negative our defending is scary Lees didnt command his back four let them make mistake after mistake and basically sat back and sighed relief on another day with another team (lets say last sunday ) we would have picked another 4 goals from the back of the net That offside line is there for the taking as Van acken looks like hes never played offside in his life he is a good player but he needs guidance and hes not getting that from lees and we cant afford any more mistakes so he has to step aside for Loovens im afriad or should lees step aside for Loovens maybe Loovens will guide this lad correctly

Im not getting all happy clappy forget that these wankers owe us lots more victories and they had better xxxx start quickly by brushing aside shit such as Bolton Millwall and Barnsley when we get back as we need this to get us back in the chase

Well, well, well! It seems rumours of our demise may have been exaggerated.

[Imre varadi]

exaggerated ? like how losing to sheffield united at home by an historic 4 goals !! carlos has bought himself time thats all but it will all come to fuckall should he not sort the defence out and only being able to play 1 style only !
