Really defensively sound today, with a couple of great tackles thrown in. Kudos to him!

There was one lunging tackle late in the game when he started feeling his right hamstring. Seemed more like cramps than anything else as he ran it off, but the thought did cross my mind. If he misses a few weeks at some stage, particularly over in the busy December period, it'd have a big impact on how we play.

A right sided Moreno in the Jan window please, Monchi.

That tackle just before SJM scored was brilliant and was as important as the goal in many ways. Superb today.

[Astnor]

Not many that split opinions as much as MC do on here.

That tackle got nearly as big a cheer as the goal did.

It was magnificent, the moment of the game for me the goals apart.

[Axl Rose]

I really like Cash.

Not the most interesting admission, I know, but he's been an absolute bargain for us.

[Ian.]

I was surprised they never highlighted it on MOTD, it was such a crucial moment in the game, a brilliantly timed tackle as well as leading to the goal.

I agree Axl, he’s been a great signing.

Was caught flat-footed for their goal, I thought, as our high line failed.

I don't think that's fair. Playing a high-line and catching players offside means you have to be willing to let them run without shadowing them immediately. The reward is that you become the team that wins the most offsides (58 with Tottenham being 2nd with 38) but the risk is that every now and then you'll give someone a free run on your keeper.

For me the goal was 100% down to our midfield being knackered. The high-line becomes exposed if you give players the space to time their pass in behind. If they're under pressure they're much more likely to go early (and we have time to cover) or late (and they're offside).

I don't think any specific player was at fault really, it was just the one clear time where you could see the thursday-sunday schedule having an impact.

Konsa was at fault for me. Think he got stuck in two minds whether to pick up the runner or win the ball in the air. In the end he did neither and misjudged the flight of the ball. Really poor goal to concede. Thought he had a poor second half in truth. Both he and Torres were fortunate to get away with abysmal defending at start of second half. Kamara didn't provide much cover for them either and Bassey beat Watkins in nearly every duel. Definitely not our best performance, against a very limited opponent. Scoreline flattered us a bit, even allowing for Watkins missing a complete sitter.

Matty Cash has withdrawn with injury from the Poland squad. Perhaps getting some recovery in and getting a rest.

Yes  apparently he's still got a shoulder issue. Hopefully just precautionary. I think we still need a specialist right-back for cover. We didn't replace Ashley Young.

Yes absolutely. Both Douglas and Boubacar were floundering and maybe should have been replaced. But you can't have everything in life, as again we scored 3.

He was struggling with his shoulder in a recent game, the Forest game maybe?
