2 points clear as West Brom lost. How comes no one is saying they're bottling it or falling apart?

Ridiculous to the sublime.
Some glaring weakness in our outfit though.

Showed some character. 👍

To be honest moth, it was the officials who were skying my blood pressure in the first half not the players.....I just couldn't watch the injustice of it all.....
I was half joking, no worries. I felt utterly sick after their first but half time brought a bit of clarity. Felt like this was the lowest ebb from which the season seems unsalvageable only for the narrative to shift into a rousing climax. Hopefully it'll keep on rising.

Good win always thought we were the better team even at 2-0 down..Harrison and Klich immense, White settled well. I think the start was down to more defensive fiddling from MB and Dallas at DMF. Defences are best left to continuity

Casilla - 7
Ayling - 7 - At fault for the first assuming Cooper shouldn't have been there to start with..
White - 8
Cooper - 6 - A bit erratic in defence today imo, didn't really rally his team after their first
Alioski - 6 - He is a pen waiting to happen and has done well to avoid that recently. Gotta dock a point for that though
Dallas - 7 - Not sure where he played but seemed to get a lot further forward than Kalvin does at DMF if that's where he played
Klich - 9 - Ran the game again, done that so much recently. Lovely weighted pass for our winner made it real easy from there. Should have scored though
Costa - 7 - Poor first half I thought came into it second.
Harrison - 9 - Good first when he got in the game, outstanding second half
Hernandez - 8 - Couldn't buy a pass first half, played off centre second half and looked happier for it. I prefer it when he plays wider.
Bamford - 7 - Two goals get's him 2 points higher but missed three very good chances first half and looked off the pace before being gifted a goal from half a yard out.

I watched about 15 minutes behind first half so avoided the comments. Really disgusted with the refereeing but thought we were easily the better team. Klich and Harrison on form, we were behind to a non pen (for me) and a defensive mix up. When I caught up with the comments I was expecting unlucky Leeds, but was fairly shocked to read the waccoesque knee jerk reactions

Emotions run high, can't fault folk for feeling a bit desolate going into HT 2 goals down after the run we've had, it's only because they care.

Wow. What a game. A game of 2 halves both on the pitch and on the forum. 1st half we were poor and it was all Bielsa out, this team is s**t, we aren’t good enough blah blah blah. No faith, no belief just doom and gloom and moaning.
Second half, fantastic team performance and it’s a different story on the forum
Bamford stepped up, Klich is an absolute machine in midfield, White proves once again what a talent he is, Harrison improves weekly to name a few of the outstanding team tonight.
Have faith and believe

Coopers key stone cops clearance in the final minutes sums up Bielsas whole outlook.

Contrast that with some of the most beautiful interplay seen all season.

Look forward to a few more games like that folks, we won’t win them all but neither will anyone else.

I just hope those tossers who threw the coins don’t fetch us sanctions from EFL.
