Just home. Strange thing to say but all around me we agreed that it is still hard to believe we don't screw up our games. Us losing all the time is a hard mind set to get rid of.  Johnstone gets better and better.  Mile is a pants footballer but by God does he do the business for us.
Jedinak looks like a lumbering lump of blubbery meat when he runs, but when a crucial interception is needed he seems to be there every time. He was very important in the midfield today, particularly with Hourihane and Lansbury having disappointing games.

This isn't a very good division first and foremost. that we've won so many games recently whilst not playing well shows that the difference between the teams that go up and the rest is having a goalscorer. Keeping Kodjia fit is vital for us next season. Add one or two and we'll be right in the mixx.

You want to keep him now?! ;)

Just 2 wins out of that shit run and we'd be 4 points of playoffs.

We should be looking to shit on the league next season.

I thought it was a good game today, a decent contest with chances at both ends. Our ball retention wasn't very good but our defence look like they can cope with anything at the moment.

Johnstone seems a lot more assured now. Two cracking finishes from Kodjia. A good assist and another decent chance from Hogan. Adomah was frustrating, so often did the difficult bit and then his final ball or touch let him down.

I don't really care where we finish now. I'm just enjoying us winning again.

Really enjoyed the game today. Had a great view of the sending off tackle and knew he was gone long before the ref reached for the red card. Kodja is by turns frustrating and inspiring but by God he's doing the business.

This is the second post that has referred to the poor run early 2017 but singularly failed to mention the abysmal start under balloon head.

I thought it was adomah's best game for us. Ripped past 2 players on a number of occasions.  Only really saw one bad Cross that went straight over bar.  The game bypassed midfield 2 for the majority which it shouldn't need too now we have wes and angie. Frustrated that we brought on Gardner  (who was awful) rather than Grealish but Bruce is in the results business so cant fault after the event. Johnston was excellent. As we're Taylor and Hutton. Kodjia bit of skill in his own half about 80 mins in was a stand up and apluad moment

We've got into the winning habit which is a great place to be. I wasn't overly concerned even when they spent most of the second half in our half. The trio of Chester, Baker and Jedinak are so solid and I always fancied us to get a goal on the break. Us as fans are still coming round from the trauma of 2011-16 but we'll get used to wins again soon and there'll be a lot more again next season. One word on Kodjia- fan-dabby-dozy

If we can keep Kodjia I'll be having a wad on winning this league next year, not just getting promoted.

It makes you wonder where we would be without JK's goals.
Why should we care about that? He is a player in our team and doing his job.

I'd imagine (hope) that Kodjia's on a salary that only clubs whose sights are set higher up the food chain could improve upon.
