I am more pleased that finally we may of found our solid defence at last! Only taken bout 15 years to find radebes replacement! And with Berkeley it's looking promising.

Problem is though that Bartley and Jansson are only on loan- hopefully no recall clauses. Maybe be able to buy them at next transfer window. Wonder if it's possible to convert loans to permanent moves outside of transfer windows- do you know Ed?

Is it not in janssons contract thet once he plays 20 games we have to buy him?

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Sep 2016 09:01:13
We have the option to buy jansson for a set fee as part of the loan agreement which turns into an obligation if he plays 20 games. Bartley has no fee set in the loan agreement, but I believe he is out of contract at the end of the season.

Honestly I'm not a fan of wood, but to be far he has 4 goals already, so not to bad. What I think is more pleasing is his % strike, it's only 43%! I know that this isn't great, but we are obviously creating a lot more clear cut chances than last year! So if he can either get his ass in gear, play Ant more or spend on a decent striker in January, then this is positive news!
Pleased about today by the way! well done lads. MOT.

Wood worked hard today, his touch let him down a couple of times but he got back and defended which was good to see. I reckon the midfield have been told to take a pop when they get chance and to be fair I reckon that it's probably the way forward, he looked isolated at times and teams will always try and push us back while we play this system. Now we have some speed then we should be able to counter and catch them on the hop. If GM is going to persevere with Wood then we all need to get behind him - he looked a little peed off but it might be cause he was taken off?!?

Good result and very happy👍🏻 it will be interesting to see if we do anything different for the cup game, given the opposition. I personally would rather we win in the league than the cup so if he needs to rest a few then happy with that. Clearly I would love to win everything but we can't have everything- can we? 😜 I remain positive MOT. Oh and well done to all the travelling fans today Awesome 👍🏻 think GM loved it.

to be honest Cardiff were only giving us trouble when ball was in air crosses corners . a bit deep 1st half second half players more attacking . dallas well not at the races . wood great back pass second goal great it's about believe . so something to build on which is good . and other teams up and down . even Newcastle so still got a chance of top six or higher . didn't see full backs attacking until second half . perhaps monk under pressure so playing safe yes I can see why . job at stake . but now something to build on . let's hope we don't slip back. like we usually do . hopefully start of a good run.

Better second half. Jannson and Bartley rock solid at the back and the full backs did their bit although I've seen Taylor play better. Wood did better in the second half but he never looks like scoring except from the penalty spot. Hernandez great goal but needed to redeem himself for not playing Wood in earlier. Wonder why he didn't want to give him the chance? - greedy or did he think he might do better than the number nine. Overall great result particularly because it was built on solid defending. Something we haven't seen for a while.

We have a team and 4231 suits. Some credit must go to Evans for this. More impressed with clean sheet than win. When playing with Mrs Integrity I like to build from the back - so does our team!

Get to and maintain a position around 8th come New Year, buy Jordan Rhodes and we have a great chance.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Sep 2016 17:48:52
I think Hernandez doesn't trust Wood, and I can't say I blame him.

. Woods missed another sitter in the first half, kicked it straight to the goalkeepers arms.

. he might be the leading goalscorer but take away the penalties and you get what?

Sorry, but he still remains a liability for me?

Good to see the defence coming good though!

Not that I'm smug or ought but I did call a two nil Leeds victory until I got all giddy down spooners and changed it to three. Great result. Woody deadly from the spot and Pablo showing his class with Pontus/ Bartley partnership looking better game by game. I bet no f**ker is moaning today and what a difference two games makes. But, let's keep it real lads and when we do lose, which we will do (and soon) , let's not go stupid and go overboard. We are a team in transition and will get better as the season goes on. If we can keep on the coat tails of the pack, we stand a great chance in the last third of the season.
Anyway, down those pints, have a couple of chasers, down a few more and Up The Whites!

The only person moaning in my household is Mrs Integrity. I decided to penalize her with some Wood but I can't think of anything for Hernandez and I can tell you now there's certainly no clean sheet!

Great post George. Messy is definitely the best. And I'm not talking about messi . Fantastic win today. Hernandez is starting to show his class. Watch this boy go now .

Thanks Lancaster. It's truly uncanny because once I was done with Mrs Integrity she said exactly the same thing to me as the commentary when Hernandez scored - nice hit!

Agree0 Disagree1

18 Sep 2016 00:37:24
That's weird George because when I was finished with Mrs Mick she said the same thing as the commentator did when the Woodmeister slotted his penalty 'he looked up and slotted it low and hard in the bottom'.

I'll take a win like that any day of the week. The defence looks 100 times more solid than last season. Agree ket, Pontus was MOM for me by a long way.

Agree whole team played pretty solid, Jansson stand out player, Bartley Solid, Sacko tricky, touch of class fro Hernandez after greedy attempt.

And I finally got a prediction right.

I'm not totally convinced with all of Monks decisions, but I take my hat off to the guy when it comes to defence. He looks to have made us a solid back 4 and today for the first time in a while my bum didn't twitch when the opposing team attacked. Well done pal and here's to making us a force to be reckoned with in midfield and attack.

Just a little worried. Would have liked Alex and Kalvin playing together in cetre midfield. Just as good as OK Ronaldo.

Wood scores a tap-in from 12inches and gets back in the team!

Itll be interesting to see if Monk subs him early? Unless he scores a couple of course!

I still think he's a big lump of suet!

17 Sep 2016 13:25:18
Very good defending but we are having to. Bridcutt is sorely missed and Wood is being Wood. He is very poor as usual. If he is going to be on the pitch bring him on late when the opposition has slowed down. We are under pressure but we have had chances - pity the best one came to Wood. His hold up play is non existent. Lambert is showing him how to do it.

In form?

Think today will be a good day, hope Money keeps Wood n Bench and plays Antonsson and Roofe up front, then bin the Woodentop on if we need him around the hour mark My prediction is a 2-0 win for the mighty whites.

No dosh down on that this week as pay day can't come soon enough. Raided my kids copper jar and put a mean 10 fold acca at bout 400/ 1, due a big win. Obviously put an IOU in there before you all spout of saying how mean I am.
Come on Monk, prove us all wrong and turn our season around before it's a write off.
