With the way that we've been defending, a 1-0 feels much better than a 4-3 thriller.
Job done.

Not a good performance but a GREAT result. Well done chaps
All of this. We needed this result. Not a great game but we got the 3 points.

Best i've felt about a match in a long time. Clean sheet and played okayish. That was fun

Delighted with that. And very pleased to see us grind out a result and use some sensible game management. Rather lucky with VAR on Moder’s challenge. If WBG’s was red then I’m shocked that wasn’t too (not complaining).
Feels like a huge result. Suddenly, a clean sheet, a goal and back in contention for the European spots. We couldn’t do a. Oracle Thursday could we? Could we?

Fed up with trains. Sick of the rain.
Rode our luck. Second half wasn't a great watch. Could have been another Sheffield Utd/Everton/Fulham home game, so happy to come away with a result. Team look knackered so a rest after Roma is welcome
Don't think we win today without Verbruggen. Give him the rest of the season please.

One of the biggest results of our season.
The rest of the post is irrelevant.

We're staying up!
But still a toothless attacking performance again. Without an OG we’d be without a win, again

Funny, all the talk of our poor form, injuries, etc - understandably so - and here we are sat in 8th a point off the Ammers- would've snapped your hand off at the start of the season to be in this position at this point knowing how often teams of our size struggle in the league when handling Europe too.

Form seem to have much of an effect on who we have between the sticks from game to game.
It’s frustrating from a fans perspective; it must be even more so for the keepers.

Important 3 points, if not a bit scrappy. & we actually managed the last 10 minutes pretty well keeping the ball, winning free kicks & corners, rather than letting the pressure mount.

I thought we managed the game out well. If you’re playing badly (“or not at your best” to use a kinder sounding euphemism) at least be sensible - something we definitely didn’t do against Roma, who to be fair have much better players.
There seems to be a real lack of confidence in our attacking play (Enciso being the exception - the lad is walking confidence personified). Lamptey had moments too, so much of our play lately is backwards when in fantastic positions we’ve worked hard to get in to.
I know the “Albion are always in the right” brigade will disagree with me, but really the game hinged on Moder’s yellow card. Massive shades of Dahoud against Sheffield United - underwhelming home performance against a poor side changed by a 70th minute red.
It absolutely should’ve been a red - a pretty clear one too and an awful foul. We’ve really gotten away with that one today, which IMHO would’ve changed the game.
Delighted with the scrappy 3 points and clean sheet when we are at a low point.

Gross managed most of them on his own!!
