    I am delighted, bemused & stunned.

    Was clear in second half we needed fresh legs. Nothing done by the manager.
    We concede one & Isgrove is finally replaced by Hammill. Familiar goalkeeping fiasco leads to us then going 2-1 down. I'm reading the same script as most previous matches.

    We are overrun in midfield, so our manager takes off a midfield player & puts on another striker, (one who last scored sometime last year.

    What happened after that was miraculous. I think Morais is either a true genius, or I am on acid.
    I think the half time bovril may have been spiked.

    Best day at Oakwell for a very long time. COYR

    Am wi thi on this one, can't work out how we won. Still it's better than trying to work out how we've not won in many previous games this season (Reading and the Pigs for a start).

    ‘My word’

    Not sure if deliberate but that was Ray Wilkins’ favourite phrase when something shocked him.

    Anyway, we definitely got lucky today, it looked like Morais taking too long to make subs was going to cost us like the Norwich game but who cares, we got a bit lucky.

    Feel like we deserve some luck, last week against Bristol we should’ve scored at least 5 & who can forget the Hull & Cardiff home games that we somehow lost

    I was raging when he took a midfielder off for a striker. ******* raging. ******* Portuguese fraud. Etc.

    Why? We were losing and Georgie Boy had drifted out, again.

    I couldn't see the logic in it. I'd have had Mallan on in the hope that fresh legs would have seen us be less overrun in midfield.

    Shows you what I know.

    I was surprised but we had to change the shape which we did

    Moncur had a decent 20 minutes going forward but when his under-powered battery runs out in the 21st and the bent-over double teapot comes on he needs to come off. Ended up being their most creative player with great assists either side of half-time. And defending for him is just an opportunity to have a rest, don't think I've ever seen a player give his opposite number so much room. With Isgrove also not physically up to it we were getting over-run down the right where these two were exposing Yids to 3 on 1s. Couldn't believe it took so long to make the obvious changes. Thankfully, today JM eventually got it right going to 4-4-2 with our best winger finally getting a run out to telling effect.

    Morais is no genius and this may be an unpopular comment but I do not want him leading us next season no matter what league we find ourselves in. For the new owners and Ganaye to say that he was their number one choice absolutely blows my mind when better managers were out there for us to go for and yet, we went down the cheap **** option as per usual. It’s times like this I wish we still had Ben Mansford because even he would have seen that Morais was Mourinho’s glorified cone bitch and not much else. His record speaks for itself with all of his clubs binning him after one season and to be honest, it’s easy to see why when he promotes fights between his players.

    Gave him many chances and the only one that’s a bit thick, is thee.

    His changes won us the game, why not give him the credit he deserves. If it was Hecky he would have put a defender on

    JM subbed moncur against brizzle when everyone was shouting for Potts to go off , Potts duly scored . Yesterday he brings on Hammill and Bradshaw and again the crowd aren’t happy . Hammill assists and Bradshaw gets what proves to be the winner . Cut JM some slack , he’s either brilliant or very lucky and at this moment I don’t know and I don’t care which it is UTR

    Who wasn’t happy with yesterday’s subs? Around me we were all happy with them they were just 15 mins too late

    Glad you spotted that.

    Was a good man, Ray, everyone spoke highly of him. Fitting tribute at the game.

    I was pleased with the substitutions. Moncur did OK in patches but his lack of stamina is appalling. Should be made to stay behind for extra fitness training.
