He gets criticised, but he adds so much attacking value.

Right in line with me in the Trinity, a wonderful strike.

Great from Conor when he came on. Changed the game with his energy, passing, crucial interception (ahead of his wonderful strike) and of course that goal!. A great day's work. Well done Conor!

He’s a good un and at times unfairly criticised as he’s not a holding midfielder. Quality finish today.

Squad depth really helping us at this point. Struggling to find a way through, SJM and grealish quiet by their standards and we’ve got some great options on the bench to get at them another way.

10 of their players in the box and Gayle on the half way line when that one flies into the back of the net. Absolute beauty!

Edit: shocking school boy spelling mistake!

What's really strange about his goal is that surely everyone in the league knows he is capable of scoring goals like that so why the fuck did they give him 20 yards of space on the edge of the box, this is why parking the bus is such a poor tactic most of the time. The only reason we didn't exploit the space earlier is because we weren't being brave enough to take the shot on, loads of players had time to shoot from distance.

We didn’t take enough shots from range today but some of the ones we did were woeful...SJM certainly didn’t have his shooting boots on today!

It was unbelievable regression defending from them. Jack had yards of room inside the area as they defended the 6 yard box. No one picks Conor as he screams at Jack for a pass.

9 goals and 11 assists. 20 key goal contributions is brilliant. he's an efficient player when it matters most and absolutely crucial to this team. Hasn't sulked when benched either, just comes on and makes his point.

A very important player who any other club in this division would love to have.

I’m so pleased he’s turned it round after his rough patch in February. I hope some of our fans who dished out abuse are now having a look at themselves.

He is a better player when the opposition is tired.
Great to bring him on to have an impact not trundling around the pitch achieving little.

I wouldn't call 11 assists and 8 goals as trundling around the pitch achieving little to be honest. There's room for improvement but I think he's been a great signing for the money.
