Absolutely vital win, but the performance has to be concerning. Against a side with any ounce of quality we would have come unstuck. Needs to be much better against Fulham. League table looking a lot better thankfully.

I think frustration sets in frank...

At the end of December, and your team has two points only, that’s not because you’ve been a little bit unlucky. It’s because you aren’t very good at all, yet they are presssuring us like manure would. That’s frustrating to watch as has already been pointed out, one mistake and they are back in it and it’s two points dropped. We could play football and be in charge of this game. People get frustrated because we are way better than this.

Far too many silly mistakes conceding possession, I wish we'd learn from them.

Ugly, ugly game, but the 3 points will mean much more when the inevitable pause comes now.

Benson taking a lot of stick throughout though. Very unfair.

Big win that, yes we can and will improve, but netting the 3 is all that mattered, A bonus that Brighton & West Brom both lost.

5 point gap to the bottom 3 now, and after 6 games I'd have bitten your hand off for that.

Another clean sheet for Nick and the lads, I make that 6 for the season, it might not be pretty, but keep the back door shut and we'll win our fair share of games.

Agreed, but i will judge him on his overall performances, important goals and contributions over the season.

A lot of below par performances tonight which is to be expected given the glut of fixtures and paper thin squad.

If Spurs do the business tomorrow, we will be 8 points clear of the bottom 3 on Sunday if we win. We are going to have to be much better than tonight to get that win. To be fair 2 games in 48 hours and injuries its going to be tough. I just hope Mcneil, J Rod and Taylor are available

Great three points and three against Fulham changes things dramatically. But if that Burnley turn up, they will punish us and no mistake. They are considerably better than sheff Utd and they had all the ball and all the ideas in the second half. Fulhams better footballers will exploit our game plan of letting them have the ball and defending the 18 yard box. I’m sure SD will be all over this and make sure the tactics are spot on...
