Incredible 1st half. Codswollop 2nd half.

4 on the bounce - not bad Brucey. We're going up aren't we?

Grealish is missing in the man of the match poll, which I think he deserves.

Superb first half, dreadful second. Points are all that matters.

onamah didnt play did he? also grealish missing...

[Raymond]

Only complaint is we did not score the six we should have. Great performance. 

[VILLAMARV]

Job well done. Decent ref for a change. Putting Grealish on Cavare was a bit of a miss match for their goal but he let him go, other than that he ran the show. Bjarnason did ok. Hogan did well. Happy Days.

Thought the same. He would have my vote. Was immense for us today.

Very good win irrespective of the second half performance. Well done Hogan as well. Amazing what happens when you get the right service to your striker.

[Rodders]

Very satisfied. Now it is all beginning to look promising. Jon done 2 more for Scott, terrific. As for divergent halves it's not just us. See Arsenal 4 up after 20 min, final score r-1. Maintaining such goalscoring vigour very very rarely is repeated in both halves. I would have loved a 4th but there we go.

Yeah Grealish MOTM for me so can't vote yet, Understandably lower key second half, but even saying that we started bright and the move on 50 minutes would have been our goal of the season. The pass from Grealish to Adomah was inch perfect, beautifully weighted ball.

Still yet to play at our highest level in both halves of a match but to be fair we didn't need to today, We looked really good at times, not like a bunch of talented randoms, but a proper team.

Nice.

We didn't perform well in the 2nd half.  Do I really care? Nope - we gave a steamrolling performance of a 1st half and that was enough.

Good win - well done to the lads. 

[striker]

Up to third now.

[srsmithusa]

Thor was not perfect, but for me close enough to get the automatic start at DM.  Very, very good bar an occasional misplaced pass.  But other options there have been misplacing passes, too.  He brings much more energy to the role and it shows in us moving the ball more quickly.

[Rugeley Villa]

Good win. Surprised the fans are still not turning up though. 

[Mark Albrighton]

Only caught the second half, oh well.

Fairly sloppy in places, we were our own worst enemy at times. Still, we regained composure and rode it out. 

Delighted for Hogan, delighted for the team, delighted for Bruce.

Bring on the next match.
