My 'Very Poor' for refereeing was for VAR.

The offside, their goal, tackle on Wesley.

Utter shite.

Same here. Sick of VAR.

[Sam-AVFC]

I'm just glad we can't go back into the bottom 3 today so have a few days to enjoy. Unfortunately the next couple of games are pretty shite for us.

So what was the actual formation, 343?

Yes. Like Wolves play FBs in the 4

Bloody awesome!!!

Grealish superb

Mings superb

Wes had a great game

Smith system worked well and we got a response after Watford, deserves massive credit for that

still worries me how badly we come out second halves.

Anybody who thinks Kodjia is a replacement for Wes needs his head read.

Need another quality striker

We so needed this, well done lads!!!

 

VAR continues to be sh1t!!!

Ugly wins is still wins. Yet again not convincing, but right now all that matter is 3 points.

 

What that doesn’t show is 10 of their shots were aimless hacks from 30 yards.

Kodjia has a chance in the cup to get up to speed as we are now relying on him and him alone.

[Biskitt]

Great first half, totally dominated. They came out much better second half and we really didn't react well which is still a worrying trait we have. We still seem to lack composure defensively and sh** ourselves making clearances at times which just invites pressure. I'm still worried about how poor we seem to be in the second half of games too. 

Grealish was the best player on the pitch and Was had a really good first half, just hope his injury isn't too bad. Kodjia was awful when he came on, complete lack of of work rate and game management. 3 at the back seemed to work for us and definitely an option I'd like to see more of away from home.

Huge 3 points ans hopefully we can build on this.

Ps - VAR is a Cu**

[JAMAICAN-VILLAN]

I'm hoping this makes Deano realise he needs to be more flexible with his systems.

He was actually holding his own signings and best players back with his stubbornness at times.

In the same breath, I have to give him props for doing just that, the system and press brought the best out of Wesley.

Still doesn't move quick enough to tweak IMO, hopefully this will come with experience, Dyche tweaked and it changed the game.

Having said that as well, the fact we are strongly linked with Vida, suggests he has probably wanted to play this system for a while but did not necessarily trust the reinforcements.

We slightly resorted to type in the second half.

Nyland looks like ALL the time out, after enduring a horrific start and fan abuse has done him well. Looks alot more matured, and assured in his few appearances.

Hopefully, Wesleys injury is not too bad, and the little time out will allow him to settle and relax further.

UTV!

Signings are crucial!!!

[villatillidie1980]

Massive three points. Jack and Tyrone were superb. 
 

Fair play to Dean, something needed changing and he sorted it. 
 

I just hope Wes and Tom aren’t too serious

So? Are we just gonna keep the opposition having free shots then and hope they miss?

How about we don't allow them to shoot in the first place?

I think it was pretty convincing, whatever the stats say.

[brummybloke]

1st half even trez shoulder Turner  tried tackling pressing and heading.

10 out of 10 for 1st half.

 

2nd half was poor, gone had the tackling heading and pressing and instead came shouldering and no heading and they had control of the game and how they didn't get 3 or 4 goals I neither know or care.

 

A win, and half a game if fighting, it shows what we can do if we try and fight.

[MaVilla]

So how did nakamba and Luiz play in the midfield?

I know we cant assume much, but seems the 343 tactic suits us better???

[pete101]

Really sums up our season,

Wesley gives great showing today , looks like he is finally going to push on and show form and gets what looks like a serious injury,

Back line looked well organized and with Ming's back we finally look like we can defend , then we lose our most consistent player this seaso Heaton ,

Great 3 pts but our luck really needs to change when it comes to losing players

[A'Villan]

Well done to get a much needed victory away at a club who have proven their worth in this division.

I was a bit concerned with the amount of possession we conceded to Burnley in the 2nd half, ultimately it didn't matter though.

They really didn't have it in them to go on and find a second goal and equaliser which was a huge relief because when they scored I wondered how things would go from there.

Anyway, that's the negative side of the game.

Great showing that we can outplay opponents once again with a solid first half, and made the most of being the better side by putting ball in the back of the net.

That's what we need more of, important time to show we can do it, thankfully out of the relegation zone and within a single win's reach of midtable.

This frightens the life out of me, we need to get one in and we need Amazon prime to deliver him

If they want to shoot from ridiculous parts of the pitch that’s their problem.

1st half ot worked perfectly, I mean 100% when they all fought.

2nd half dropped too deep no tackles ot headers.

Both played far better but luiz made some absolute shockers going forwards.

Just terrible from Kodjia - I reckon he's about to leave the club

Watching that performance I thought he was signing for Burnley how bad he was trying to be, not trying against his next club.
