My god that was so dire to watch. I am suprise in the lack of fire in some of our players under Dyche, passing, control and game management all missing and again I will say MGW in never a captain while I have a hole in my arse, please give to ANO if Yates is not playing, we need an on field leader to get the lads playing when its flat.

Just need Chelsea to score another. Ideally a draw would probably mean farke keeps his job for another week which can only be a good thing for us.

It's 3 points, that's all that matters.

Thought morato didn’t tonight- no brain farts and only one dodgy clearance. Battled well at corners at both ends - actually thought we had a case for a pen for our non-goal as he was totally taken out prior to Jesus header.
Jesus decent again - another night gets a hat trick of headers!
Ndoye - so frustrating - like he is playing with the handbrake on.
Another assist for Hutchinson who was decent defensively too.
Anderson wasn’t great tonight - not helped by being kicked at every opportunity
Sangare - another solid game- lost a bit of control when he came off but suppose Yates wasn’t great tonight involved in goal with sensible ball retention.
MGW - worked hard and took up some great positions but not found by others
Milenkovic - solid
Williams - great free kick- not the best today - got caught upfield more than once but hyper critical
Savona - defensively decent not as attacking
Sels - good handling - gets pelters for not coming off his line more but perhaps our goal suggests why!
Typical bottom of the league grinder 3 pointer. File under 3 points and move on.
10 points w3 d1 l2. 1.66ppg - should be fine. Dyche historically gets 1.3 - 1.6 ppg in prem. looking at Europa too and we are w5 d2 l2 - 1.88ppg we can’t complain he is doing a good job given the state we were in!

Just got back and can’t believe the negativity on here.
Agreed it was not a classic but it takes time to recover from the damage done by the previous two managers, and it’s clear that despite results there is still a hangover post-Ange.
Thought MGW played well to be honest, was trying his hardest to make stuff happen and given the criticism that I’ve levelled at his so far it’s only right to give Morato some plaudits (despite the odd dodgy pass).
Hutch plays well in fits and starts but does not look like he can regularly play 90 minutes.
Thought Anderson was poor, he wasn’t just leggy, it just didn’t click for him, and Sangare wasn’t much better. I don’t think the midfield two have won the battle in the last two games now.
Lots of credit to Sean and his team, the results have been largely excellent, hopefully we can push on and achieve some mid table mediocrity while being able to have a real crack at Europe and the FA Cup.

Reading the comments this morning if I hadn't watched the match myself then I would think that we had lost.
Thought Jesus was immense, Morato was much better and did well and Omari is a class act.
Nt sure why Ndoye is getting stick.
Why do we always have to beat on one of our own players.
First it was Savona, then Zinc, then Morato and now Ndoye.
It gets a bit tiring and is uncalled for.
So another win and I make that 4 wins from our last 5 games.
Panic on the streets of London

Ndoye seems to have all the attributes but looks to be lacking in confidence. He's not Elanga fast but he's pretty quick. He's skilful and tall and shouldn't get nudged off the ball but seems to take the safe option too much. He does his defensive work though - hopefully the confidence will come with time.
