Three wins out of three since I left the country. I'm back for the Wolves game, sorry.

Is there an option to pay to keep you away?

Why do we make it so hard for ourselves?  Have to say I didn't understand the Davis substitution unless was injured. I would have thought we would need him as an outlet the way it was going with us having our backs to the wall.

Thought Snodgrass did well and good to see Kodj off the mark especially after that miss when he should have squared it to Albert.

I'd like to see the Taylor sending off again. Didn't look red to me.

Still another 3 points and that's the main thing.

Looking up. They came to frustrate, bully, and disrupt - was never going to be easy, and the win is what we needed. Now looking much better and a couple weeks rest before a big game. Well done Bruce and the lads

Davis will have learned a lot today. Lost the physical battle with the two central defenders, but he will learn.

That was an awful performance and shows why Bruce will ultimately come up short.

4/5 points max coming in October, in my opinion. Not sure that will be enough to get us into the top 6 come November.

Yeah, because all of the competition in this division play like a combo of Brazil 70/ Holland 74 every single week.

Do they?
Bolton didn't and could easily have got a draw.

We ground out that victory and I don't think anybody could argue.

We dominated without threatening.

I felt we were a little jaded to be honest. Whelan looked slower, Davis seemed fatigued as he couldn't hold the ball up and his touch was poor.

Hourihane was a bit too deep for me. There was no protection from the constant fouling; climbing, pushing, shirt pulling and that abomination of a referee, crikey. I cannot see what Taylor was sent off for, he appeared to win the ball. I will have to see it again.

No real threat from them until the 90th minute and we got good blocks in.

I thought the subs were the right ones to make. When we stopped playing it so direct, we moved the ball a lot quicker and could have scored a couple, actually working their keeper.

The performance was nowhere as slick as Burton, but we found a way to win. That defence as well is solid as a rock.
