would you like those words in a Wholemeal or white bread sarnie Hallam. Faith young lady Faith,
The game changed 100% on that Hutch “ pit stop “ injury … tactical I think ! lol
Its a sign of quality Management, as i say "KEEP THE FAITH" while everyone else is falling apart.
So its Wholemeal bread then, any sauce or you got enough already
Can I borrow some of your sauce John?

Who thought after 10 minutes we would be winning 0-3 at half time.

11 games since scoring first. What a difference that makes.

… and the first time we’ve gone 2-0 up in the first half up since we played Millwall at Portman Road.

So nice to watch a game without stressing. Looking forward to seeing Al Hamadi come on.

I don’t want us to take our foot off that pedal though …. We need GOALS
You’re right there Liz, we’re still 5 goals behind Southampton and GD could well become vital at the end of the season. Let’s go for the jugular not like we did against them at Portman Road when we took our foot off the gas second half after leading 3-0 at HT.
Change Moore for Al-Hamadi asap.

With games coming thick and fast I think we can afford to make a few early changes without taking too many risks.

I have to say Town fans are immense tonight : the noise they are making is constant and loud and has been all night …. Awesome

I guess as Ian Westlake just said in commentary with games coming up thick and fast the payers are probably taking it easy playing to instructions and simply controlling the game.
I’m sure it will raise in tempo again when the subs come on and add more momentum.

I’d like to see Al-Hamadi get a decent 20 mins but other than that good changes by McKenna.

I know we’re winning 0-3 but I honestly think we need another goal!

How’s our defence been? Is Woolfy better with Burgess at his side? Have we been playing the ball out from the back?

Handled about 7 corners in the first 18 minutes.

Was just about to say we are peeing about with it SO much across our 18 yard area and then nothing comes of it - gives me heart palpitations tbh … Woolfie not had much to do tbh nor has Burgess….

Now it might get interesting cos I’m sure Am-Hamadi will want his name on the score sheet. What odds on a hat trick in 15 mins + added time.
