Adomah is clearly bothered about what happens during a match and especially, about dodgy decisions.
I'd just say, well done, son.

Sorry we have to be without him for the next match.

Well done to the team and especially to SB, after such a horrible start to the year.
Three points, go forth and prosper!

Not been down since September. Good three points but how poor were we. Hutton was my MotM by a long way. Great effort, convinction and will to win. Superb, credit to out 2 CH's today as well immense

But we were poor overall.  Derby much the better side but no goal threat. Three points Tuesday will remove the relegation threat and hopefully we can build from there

Hutton is on for our player of the year. He's shit, but he's our shit. He gives 100% every game and he actually cares.

Cracking cross from Bacuna for Green's chance. He has missed three very similar chances for us, all headers at the back post.
I'm a glass half full kind of person - helped by going to the windies for on Tuesday for the cricket - so I see it that he's getting closer and will bury the next one.

I thought Green did very well to get something on it and send it in the right direction.

Just a relief to finally win a game. Those last fifteen minutes were horrific mind.

We got lucky with the penalty appeal. Bacuna had a good game up to his idiotic red card. Kodjia needs to be told to start getting his head up - the opportunity during the first half where he failed to put Albert Adomah through was maddening.

Kodja looks a tired player he lacks the spark he had earlier in the season which makes the fact that he doesn't bring other players into the game very irritating. We have no-one else.

Kodja overrated Full Stop. 

He seems to care only about himself.  How Bruce is going to get a partnership going with Hogan  lord knows.

I think he looks exactly like anyone we put up there on their own, they don't get support from the two wide attackers or any of the mid three, there's a massive gap between them every game. Hogan has been isolated in all the games he's played and this will continue until we can actually control a game.

I am still of the opinion that they are just having to play twice a week, week-in week-out, so they don't have time to do the assessments that is bound to be the cornerstone of a full pre-season. They need to add what they have learned from watching this lot play, to the needs of the push for top-two promotion.....and then make it happen by beating them around the head if need be, with wet celery sticks ! It was great to read that SB was giving it laldy from the sidelines today. They obviously need to be kept at it. Maybe they're a lazy bunch ?

Overrated no, he's a good player but it's very difficult to not get frustrated when the quality behind you fails. It's similar to Benteke, you make the runs and show at the beginning but when it never comes you start to think what's the point.

I do think though Hogan and Kodjia will never work as a two up top, that's obvious. The pair, especially Hogan needs to have a Merson type next to him to get the best out of him.

I know he's scored goals but there's just something about Kodijia I just don't like. He's greedy, selfish and just not a team player. He did zero today, and that break away when he should have fed it out wide right to Adomah but kept his head down and dithered on the ball was just typical of him. McGrath was right about him.
