Perhaps the commentator didn’t know his name! 

Ha ha! “A wonderful strike by WASSIZZNAME”

Haven't read the thread yet, i thought every player done his job today in a very professional team performance.

Great atmosphere, and you see the confidence using out of Bell, superb finishes.

Scott what can you say? The boy has it all.

15,400 something.

 

I thoroughly enjoyed that. Against a good side we looked solid, we carried a threat, we limited them to a couple of chances and every single player played his part. Just a great day out watching football.

nice to enjoy a victory with half an hour left

To be fair i only relaxed when the clock hit 85.

Been home a short while from the game. That has to be the best team performance for years. Every player at least 8/10, several including Scott, Bell, Zak, Naismith, Dasilva pushing 10/10.

Not seen it mentioned yet, but thought ref and linos were generally very good today

Referring to your name…but I agree

Watching MOTD, Sunderland's Diallo, on loan from Man City, looks some player.

[elhombrecito]

We're going to be last on MOTD aren't we...

[The Nest Egg]

He actually predicted we would win 2-1 so perhaps a better pundit than many would like to admit!

Yep.  You know those little tug-backs on our players that we don’t get, but when we do them to our opponents they get a foul…well he gave them fairly today.  He sometimes waited a second or two before whistling, but that is fine.

The most complete performance since we won at Blackburn back in September. We followed that up by being garbage for 3 months, so I’m not getting my hopes up, but thanks City (and Morecambe) for giving us the perfect afternoon! 

Tbh there were some shockers in those 3 months but Norwich away decent, Sheffield United at home decent, Watford at home decent- deserved 5-7 pts from these IMO, we got 1 but the performance level in all 3 was positive. Preston home, WBA away and Swanswa at home all had their positive aspects.

I know what you're saying though, liveliest all round in a while and a clean sheet- was Saturday our biggest win of the season? At home definitely! Funny thing stats, didn't feel all that worried by West Brom as a threat a lot of the time but Leary did make a couple of excellent saves at the right time.

[Red Army 75]

Well I really enjoyed that yesterday. Great day,

Sam Bell - take a bow. What a performance by the young man!

The strike for his first was even better than I realised - actually hits it with bend around the keeper,

Missed this totally yesterday, what a fab win and by all accounts very dominant. Change in play and formation absolutely working then?

Well happy with the result and the goals

Watched all the game on stream and then Preston v Spurs last night; I think Preston will be a tougher nut to crack next weekend, but we should fear no-one based on yesterdays efforts. Enjoy it....hopefully

We should count ourselves lucky, as if they'd squeezed in a post match interview with the Ipswich CEO, we wouldn't have featured at all!

I was thinking if they score with 10 mins left we will find some way of throwing it away but really in the end we never really looked like doing our usual.

I beg to disagree. He would have said our win was down to him.

[freezer]

Watched on TV, really impressive performance. Long may it continue. 

Oh, and the blue few got hammered, lovely. 

Shame the Bears couldn't hold on for the win. Apart from that, a beautiful sporting weekend.

He would probably have claimed all the credit for having Bournemouth's pants down with Semnyo's transfer!
