Nice to see some entertainment back at the gate

[Unan]

Why the **** would you kick it out COD? Go for their throats 

[Bizyer]

Micky Bell just said "we look like a top 6 team". Based on the first 39 minutes I agree.

[HappyClapper]

Win lose or draw. If we can play with this intensity every week I’ll be happy.

Anyone else absolutely loved this half?

Havent seen this kind of width and pace and more importantly aggression, in ages.

I'd take us looking like a top 6 side for 90 mins. We struggle to put 2 good halves together, ever. 

[Agard Days Night]

If the game ended now we would win.

I thought that was a little generous from Bell. I'd say we've played like a competent Championship team - that's a huge improvement though, so credit where it is due.

It’s nice to know we can play like that, as opposed to not having the ability which worried me!

[BCFC Grim]

Couldn't get the stream going so settled for the Rugby. Loving the positivity on here though.

[westonred]

Its nice to bully other teams for a change. What a difference Baker and Williams make we dont look so powder puff today

[RedNachos]

We've been winning a game of football in every minute Ayman Benarous is playing

Sort of looks a little more justified now!

Ah yes, the good old days when transfer tribunals seemed to pluck random figures out of the air and always seemed to favour the buyer. 

A bargain.

[Fordy62]

Looks like Olé will finally be gone today then. 2-0 versus Watford.

Wining or drawing surely? It was 0-0 for 34 minutes of his playing time today.

The stats are just as funny. Nostalgia appointments rarely work.

[ExiledAjax]

Weimann's high press has been fantastic today.

Fake news, we have been drawing for 33 minutes of his career.

[old_eastender]

Weak effort from Weimann from promising position, engineered by Scott

[Fordy62]

Scott and Benarous just look brilliant on the ball. Especially Scott.

my bad, we've never been losing though!

[Alessandro]

Well that’s a pretty good first half there. Much improved all round.
 

A committed team performance, pressing and tracking well, defending solidly in numbers and creating chances which is good too see finally.

Some excellent deliveries from Scott. Vyner solid. Williams superb. Benarous growing into the game nicely.

COD I felt showing how too often he’s reactive rather than proactive, making a few poor decisions, but is looking dangerous and drifted into space to create the chance for the goal in which he showed good footwork to get the ball under control and a slice of luck as his low shot deflected over the keeper. 

Blackburn like working the channels and look dangerous on the break, especially Diaz off the shoulder needs to be watched. 

Let’s hope we keep pushing on for the 2nd and don’t sit back too early. 

[Red Army 75]

Half time summary Scott class . Williams please stay fit . Well done all 11 players 

[Lordofthebling]

Said it once, I'll say it again. 

Joe Williams is quality.

[Bizyer]

Surely some mistake?

[A Horse With No Name]

What an enjoyable first half. Williams, Scott outstanding . Nice to see us play fast attacking football. Keep it up boys.
