    If the game had finished at half time.

    But second half we were simply awful. Same telegraphed substitutions, same single tactic of playing the ball up to O'Grady.

    Don't think we've got much else in the locker but how we end up with Perkins still on the pitch let alone on the left, is beyond me.

    We looked bereft of ideas which you will do when any creativity is removed from the team due to tiredness/tactics.

    You can of course look at it as we've started a run if being undefeated, which we needed to do and need to carry on.

    Perkins played well.

    Did he? Never known a player dawdle on the ball so much as him this season. He was poor today.

    Our second half performances are dire - if games finished at half time we would be 14th and our goal difference would be -1 (before today - today gives another win and makes our goal diff 0)
    Second half we just give up - dont score and always concede

    Including today we have scored 5 and let in 20 and only not lost the second half 3 times in 13 games

    Perkins should have been hauled off at half time. Very poor today needs too many touches of the ball and has the need to turn 360 degrees all the time

    Therefore it seems the mentality when winning is to keep it right.

    It's working well.

    Becoming a scapegoat.

    He won MOTM on Sky across both teams, an unbiased opinion, unlike the majority on here.

    Fair result. Nothing in it on posession, shots etc.

    I'll judge it on what I see every week ta. Seems to have lost his edge.

    Did a couple of good runs forward then just disappeared. I don't think he was that combatative which is what he is supposed to be.

    Don't give me that crap. How is it a bias opinion on here? Maybe your opinion is swayed by watching on sky? Most people around me at the game thought he was poor.

    I thought he did alright, not sure who I would have given MOTM to.

    Butland. IMO. Without him we would have lost it.

    Wiseman / Pedeson also in contention

    Feel the need for a scapegoat, go into the game thinking he'll be poor, jump on any mistakes.

    He could have been amazing today and some people still would've slagged him off.

    Laughable to think he should have been subbed at half time.

    Utter rubbish. I say he plays well when he does. Don't feel the need to make a scapegoat out of anyone. Just say it as I see it. He hasn't been up to his usual standards this season.

    Agree. He made a couple of good forward runs but his usual battling game seemed way off the pace.

    His best forward run was created because he battled and won the ball high up the pitch.

    every time we have chance to break quickly he stops, puts his foot on the ball and does a 360.

    I thought Cranie put in decent shift.
