Alan Brazil, Alan Brazil, Alan Brazil, Alan Brazil, Alan Brazil, Alan Brazil, Alan Brazil, Alan Brazil. Your boys took one hell of a beating from the club that won the 1981 league championship.

I thought we were very good. Other than the disallowed goal, they didn't look like scoring, it was very comfortable. I'm not sure why he left Samba out but otherwise, can't complain at all. Another mention for Whelan, he was great.

They had a few chances including first half, the great header that just missed the right side upright and second half a header from 3 yards that their player managed to head over the bar when it was easier to score. Fail to take your chances and you get punished as they found out today.

An unspectacular win. Albert, Snoddy and Whelan were the outstanding players for me. Onomah is not contributing enough right now and I'd prefer to see Jack or Callum in his place.

I think Onomah is really important to the side, and we've noticeably been better with him in the side. He also scored in the last game!

A word about Davis.
A 19 year old rookie who leads the line like that is fantastic. His work rate, effort and understanding of the game is exceptional. This is A 19 YEAR OLD ROOKIE remember.
Goals might be missing right now, but if he plays like he did today, and others chip in with the goals, then we can live with that.

Bert, Davis and Onomah were outstanding today.
Samba was solid, but bloody hell, he has all the finesse of a JCB.

For me, the only negative was Hourihane. A lot of passes went astray that I would expect him to be better with. That said, his work rate was top notch.

Agree and I thought that about Hourihane on Tuesday, he is being asked to play as a more covering defensive player and it shows. Full credit for working for the team though.

Well a better win than recent nail biters. Not been his fan but today I thought Whelan shades it for MotM just ahead of Davis, Hutton and Snoddy.

Disagree, Onomah had a good game. Driving forward from midfield. Midfield clicked today.

There wasn't much in it, first half. Once we got the second we could relax a bit. They made us work hard for the full 90 minutes, we weren't any where near our best, far from it but we showed maturity, fight and confidence. That was comforting. Without playing well we picked up all the points and that's what now, 9 wins from 11? Not bad for a team not playing to their full potential.

Very comfortable. Onwards and upwards.

It was a comfortable and well-earned win. Apart from the corners which were nearly all on our left, they offered very little.

I'm not usually a great Whelan fan, but he was excellent today and the Adomah-Adama exchange looks better every week.

We could have been more expansive in the last few minutes and boosted the goal difference,  but 3 wins in a week is a very good return.

Other than their disallowed goal they didn't really have much to offer. Comfortable win and a good, hard-working performance from us all round. Would have been nice to see Keinan get a goal - he works so hard as a lone striker, especially for a 'rookie'. Thought Onomah showed some great touches too. Good to see the good Dr T going round the pitch before the game and shaking fans' hands/having selfies taken. Nice touch
