Norwich losing and lots of draws tightens up the top of the table... 4 points between 1st and 9th That’s tighter than skinny jeans after a 3 month lockdown 🤭 Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 What an incredibly important three points that was. If the scores stay the same tonight the top 6 is wide open. Such an important win tonight. Well done. Link to post Share on other sites

Great performances tonight by a bunch of players: Spence Fry McNair Bola Morsy Watmore Thought Howson and Tav had off games, Johnson was up and down like he usually is. Bettinelli scares me. I was just about to post exactly the same comment! Great minds think alike. A corner came in near the end, and passed right in front of him. He didn't catch, or punch, or even jump - just stood and watched it, waiting for Fry (IIRC) to clear it. That's not going to give the defence much confidence. Pluses tonight - brilliant performances from Spence (why did nobody turn that wonderful low cross in near the end?), Fry (dealt with almost everything) and Watmore (what a signing he could be). Minuses - Bettinelli gives me the fear, defensively we look less solid than previous games, Akpom contributed pretty much nothing. We are still a good striker away from being serious contenders.

ErimusFootball 110 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Fantastic result. Another one of those games where 3 or 4 of the lads could be MOTM. Spence's best game in a while and Fry was top draw in the air. Agreed with the comments on Bettinelli. Commands the box well but I feel like we're going to concede every time there is a shot. Unlucky with the deflection for their goal mind. Link to post Share on other sites

That's not going to give the defence much confidence. He does that a lot. He doesn't often come out for balls either leaving the defence to hook them away - although the one time he did he massively air kicked so maybe it's better this way.

diggerlad07 3,648 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Excellent result in what was a extremely hard work gritty performance. Disjointed at the back and in between midfield and defence but on the break we were excellent As you are aware not a fan of Spence but thought its the best he has played in a long while. Love to win games like this when we are on the back foot - Feels like a massive result. UTB! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I think you're right because the fitness concerns are the big thing, we have to see how he goes for the rest of the month, a very tough month in terms of fitness. But I think after tonight especially, he's probably about 80% guaranteed to be given an extension. He was a bit of a gamble and I think so far, he's shown he has something to offer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Agree, but do think we will need to act sooner rather than later though. Especially if he continues his form, as it'll increase his bargaining power (contract wise). Link to post Share on other sites
