Nobody can say we might get relegated now. Don’t need that many more points

Our ‘Nige’ would have had us on the brink of the play-offs according to the deluded ones…..

God bless you Nige. Merry Xmas

Huge win. Sunderland and hull back to back like that is impressive. Let’s hope we can strengthen in January then see where that takes us.

And yet back in August, we dominated them under Nige at their place. Oh how times change.

And only drew , just saying like

[Dan Robin]

Excellent win, unexpected

Anyone who thinks our goalie isn't Champ standard might wanna look at Hull's two tonight 

Was just thinking, Max would be slaughtered for one of those.

Hull, decent side, looked to have an extra gear at times, but still needed a joke of a decision to get ahead. A real shocker. Than their goalie has a mare.

Back on an even keel. Won 9, lost 9, drawn 5, gd 0.

Kind of league when we go three or four without a win I start looking at the bottom. Win a couple and it’s ‘the top six are not that far away...’.

Huge week 6 points, get the jingle bells in!

[And Its Smith]

I didn’t follow the match thread this evening. A lot of odd comments looking at them now 

[Gazred]

We were worth that. Good opponent, not easy, not perfect but we deserved it.

That's 3 good sides on good runs we've done at home now. We are improving in most areas game by game.

[westonred]

Well done Manning the Subs changed the game Williams bossed midfield allowing Mehmeti and Knight more space up top and they both got goals

[mozo]

I'm looking forward to reading this thread back 

Great result and same as the Boro and Sunderland wins you could see that we were up against a tough opponent.

It was all a bit worrying at the 70 minute mark when our tempo and tenacity was completely lacking, but great to take charge and win it like that.

Really nice to see Mehmeti growing in confidence. 

Also, I've been critical of Williams but he was brilliant when he came on.

Some strange defending from us at times but we're 8th so who cares!

And get McCrorie, Atkinson & Naismith back into the squad 

A couple of attacking signings and all of a sudden things look far more rosy

[Bas's perfect hattrick]

Fantastic win! Both the goals from open play came from cutting inside off the wing. We should do that more often, rather than crossing aimless balls into the box time after time

Liam Manning get out the club still though yeah?

It's an agenda, he just cannot admit...his performance on here tonight was appalling, Coach my a$$

[Tim Monaghan]

Get in!!!!! What a result and bloody well deserved. Ref had an absolute mare. 
 

Well done Liam, bloody well done. 3 wins from 4 at home. To play Manning ball, he needs a few signings to play his style you can tell he wants to play.

Absolutely buzzing. 
 

Lets believe, let’s unite, let’s get being Liam and the team. I get not everyone was pleased with the change, but let’s all get together now. 
 

Christmas is for Robins, Christmas is ******* red….. let’s gooooooo

Controversial but this is mostly Nigel Pearson's team, and according to most on here we are not playing well or are not very good, so who are we blaming?

I know. What a great culture he’s imprinted. 
 

So… you are right. Who we blaming?

We didn’t get a nailed on pen up there that night, or a gift from their keeper. Just saying, like, but I’ll take it

Anis was just awesome

Enjoy the result. Ain’t time for earning Brownie points.

If we had lost people would be calling for his head.

[cheese]

So, could history repeat itself.  Nige created the culture and team at Leicester but it took a different manager to get them to win something.  

[bcfc01]

Two games against top 6 teams and 6 points.

Can't be any better than that.

He was. We all agree anis mehmeti is magic!!

[redkev]

I have said a fair few times that this team even though it lacks the quality of others have become very hard to beat ,

I still think we are a fair bit off a top six side ( squad ) but the foundations are there , for once Lansdown back the manager and invest in this squad in January and start building rather than fxxking selling all the time ,

hate to say it but knight will be the next to get big interest , let’s hope Bournemouth don’t need any more midfielders

Football may be played on grass but never underestimate how much confidence brings to the table.

Ok, don’t enjoy the result and spend the rest of the evening calling people out instead

There is a very fine line between success and failure especially in the Championship, and we didn't.

[RedEyez]

Really looking forward to seeing Anis kick on now after tonight’s performance. 

[RedRock]

When I think back to the ‘dark days’ under late LJ/Holden and early Nige when we could barely complete a pass to a colleague two yards away, that was wondrous. 

Still ‘work in progress’ particularly the final third but better, far, far better. 
 

Happy Xmas Jon

Agree with the first two paragraphs.

Knight is nowhere near Premier standard.............yet.
