Three points. Of course we had to concede one late on again. Did you see the sign above our tunnel Houllier?

[Toronto Villa]

I'll take it

[PaulWinch again]

Thank christ for that. We have to stop conceding late goals. Carlos massively helped us today. Albrighton excellent and great header Emile.

[aldridgeboy]

Thank God fot that. Albrighton superb again. Tips of the hat to Collins and Cuellar too.

[supertom]

Why do we turn to mush on 87 minutes? Strange.

Overall, reasonably comfortable. Warnock still frightens me. Collins started shaky, but grew into it.

We looked untroubled once Coker came on a solidified the midfield. Until their goal anyway.

Carlos, that one mistake aside, was good. Lichaj impressive.

Albrighton man of match closely followed by Downing and Heskey. Ash was piss poor first half, good 2nd half.

That's more like it. Get some of the key players fitter, and sort out the weak middle and we'll improve our position. We need to win the next game for sure.

Could be better, but a wins a win and we played some good stuff in spells.

[manic-road]

A much needed three points, didn't care how we got them. We look better at the back with Carlos.

A 2nd City Derby and no pitch invasion?
Well, the weekend's not over yet!

[taylorsworkrate]

Thank fuck for that. 

[BedsVillain]

Lichaj & Cuellar very well done boys, good solid display at the back and you even began to bring Ginge back to what he does best!

Heskey looked good after being out so long, Gabby will have a real fight to get back in if we carry on 4-4-1-1 or 4-2-3-1...

Young Marc had a great game once again and Downing looked really good too...

Fucking Chuffed to bloody bits!!

Thank god for that, but still very nervy performance at times. If they'd have equalised at the end I would have probably torn my own head off.

I hope Carlos stays in the team, bar that error at the end he was in the right place at the right time all of the time.

[Tucson Villain]

Much needed, but another late goal conceded.

[Jimbo]

Cuellar made a huge difference, but it was an all-round better performance. Albrighton was a delight to watch at times. Both goals taken well. Defensive frailties still apparent, another late goal, but a win, and a much-needed one. Got to get three points at Wigan now.

[richard moore]

Had almost forgotten what a win felt like, makes such a difference to the weekend! Didn't sound that convincing though
 
With my 'relegation hat' on, West Ham lost and Fulham, Wigan and even Everton only got a point

[Greg N'Ash]

Well that was a bit better. Carlos looking the sort of defender MON refused to acknowledge, allbrighton, Downing, Lichaj, Emile all positives. Nervy performance but not surprising really - always got a chance if half your team are playing well and the others are at least trying.. WBA piss poor in truth. Least it gives us a bit of breathing space till the transfer window opens. I really hope GH has been phoning round already lining up deals  because the hole in the centre of midfield is there for all to see and needs to be plugged asap. A better team would have punished us today.
