Gruev the Creator. That is all.

Brilliant assist by Gruev made me think. Rutter to Anthony was good and also back in the day, ayling to wood too. Three sublime passes.

I’ve got to eat humble pie Alf, I admit I was frustrated when I saw Gruev on the team sheet, I thought having 2 defensive midfielders in him and Amps was the wrong tactic against a struggling team at home, but Gruev was fantastic, pretty much every pass was a forward one, looking to transition into attack all the time.
We attacked from the start, with pace and physicality, and made a decent team with some very good players, look very poor, ripped apart by Gudmondson and Okafor time after time, and controlled with ease at the back by Pascal, Rodon and Justin. Another top performance from Brenda, fabulous again, he’s gone from a player I thought was simply not good enough, to one who’s name is one of the first on the team sheet.
Praise needs to go to DF for the way we were set up and the way we played, 100% the right way to go about it, showing up Dyche, which is always nice.
Awesome and a super important result, let’s pray for Burnley to do a job for us. A win for Burnley and a few lengthy injuries for Bowen and Jimmy, and Wet Spams season is over!
Enjoy your weekend boys!

Midfield what a great post think many will agree with that?.

Spot on MG…. my sentiments exactly.
The best thing Farke has done for me, is given us an element of expectation for every match, regardless of who we’re playing.
We probably won’t win any of the next three, but it wouldn’t surprise me if we do.

Agree Ani and MG. On the word "expectation" Ani, yep; we all have to feel as tho we can take something from anyone if we perform. At the same time he isn't allowing opposition to be confident of what to "expect"! The move to a fluid 343 can't have been expected, and definitely caught Dyke out.
Big kudos to Farkey for turning things around and creating the spirit in the squad that helps deliver on his instructions.
