I was there last night. Definitely the best performance of the Bruce era.  Our passing, movement and hold up play was fantastic. We looked solid throughout the team and kept our shape. Roll on Saturday!

Wish I’d been there last night, looked a cracking atmosphere.

Yeh...We started scoring goals again in the league as soon I left the country.

I am a big critic of Bruce but fair play to him as the last 3 games shows exactly how good this squad is, it only took faith or fortune to get them playing as they should.
Now as we all expect to thump Bolton don't revert to type or change it please Steve

Just seen that Burton had more possession, do we still get 3 points?

Great performance, 4 goals away from home and a clean sheet as well as the three points = absolutely nothing to complain about so happy days!

No need for that.

Why not? It's an argument that go threw at the manager a few weeks back.

It was half not serious but for the sake of harmony?

because having slightly less than half of the possession in a game you've dominated is far from the same thing as having just over a 3rd of the ball in a game where you've struggled, as happened a couple of times earlier in the season.

Well let's hope we never have 100% possession and still lose.

Do we still get 3 points if we win though?

To be fair, they probably did have more possession, but the difference last night was we looked far more dangerous on the break.  I said it in the match thread, but it was noticeable being there just how quicker our forwards were than their defenders.

I think we do. I might check though because i'm not exactly sure.
