    So, McClown all smiles. Townsends brilliant goal. (well taken tbf) Lots of positives.

    Magsport. (If Dawn Thewlis hasn`t taken to her sick bed), we barely get a mention while Townsends goal is looked at from 46 different angles.

    Everuything building up nicely for the derby and it could be the most significant fixture since the play offs.

    It's high time you lads had some too mate. How are things with Portsmouth lately? - I haven't been able to keep up on that I'm afraid. Hope it's all well, and would love to see you back where you belong.

    Khazri and Kone look ****ing superb signings. **** off a DOF, let a proper gaffer choose, and wallop!

    We needed that after the week, and ****ing hell it looks rosier tonight.

    Massive hi 5 to West Ham like, as I think Norwich will be one we catch.

    Hodgson ****ing on about inform English strikers, no mention of Defoe at all even said he hopes to have wellbeck and Walcott in his squad. How can he justify their selection and not even think about Defoe, ridiculous.

    Norwich aint enough to catch.

    I reckon its Villa, Norwich and another. Mags looking favourite for 3rd spot at the minute.

    Their defence is awful!

    Aye I know we need to catch 2 but as I said Norich will be one, not 'the ones'.

    I'm not ruling Palace out of it yet they look shot to bits, but despite signing decent players strikes me that yet again the Toon didn't buy what they needed, and they are bang in the ****.

    Villa, Norwich and 'them or us' seems most likely. Could be Bournemouth but I don't fancy them to go down as they create.

    One thing, Sam was absolutely the right appointment. We have a real chance and we have to be positive, Khazri looks like he will make things happen, if we do survive we keep M'Vila and with people like those, Kone, Kirchoff, Defoe, a manager with a great grasp of the league and filling the correct places who knows.

    It's still tough but it's realistic and that's enough for me at the minute!

    Disagree mate..If you are referring to the Johnson saga, the club could not have handled it any better, so not a **** week at all.

    We might be a good shout in the play offs. 17808 came today so we are making money but it's going to be a long road doing it ourselves.

    Sam's January signings could be the difference. There's a different feel about the squad at the minute. There's more belief out there on the pitch. Tbh, I was a little concerned about how quickly we were pushed back in the first half. We were too deep, about 15-20 yards back from where we needed to be, and that probably led to their goal.

    Second half we defended much further up the pitch. Gave them no space and defended from their half.

    That's the difference. That's what we need to take going forward into the end of season run.

    Our new signings are eager and hungry to impress. Khazri and Kone were awesome today. N'Doye was off the pace early on but got into his stride and played well. PVA is so aggressive going forward. And Borini was great the short time he was on. Made a real nuisance of himself.

    The only downside was our right back. He was dragged all over the place. I don't think he stopped a single cross all game.

    I was surprised to see JoS man of the match though. For me Khazri walked it!

    Looking on Instagram, the new players Khazri and in particular Kone seem utterly proud to be here, mainly the league mainly but I get the feeling they, like M'Vila, have been drawn in by the size of the crowds and the reality of the size of the club, Kone in particular his Instagram he's bursting to be here, so glad we got that one back on.

    Can I add recently the crowd backing and atmosphere has been far, far better. Not back where we used to be yet but louder, more supportive, maybe a bit more faith.

    Things are better all round and I think we will make it, I think now we genuinely have a decent side and a better balance.

    RB I agree is the biggest concern, we are awful there. Let's prey Matthews can improve that area even a little!

    Great to hear about the crowds Nads. All they want is effort, passion and commitment.

    Can't comment on the insta-thingumyjig. The only place I know on the interweb is not606!
