Then all I could think was "fuck, if we lose this now it's going to destroy those players."

They will have played with more freedom and less worry. Don’t get me wrong wolves clearly did anyway, but collectively they probably thought we would be lucky to get 1 point out of the first 2 dyche games. it will galvanise the team massively, he’s sent them out to have a few beers and the work starts again on Monday. Exactly this mate. The message it sends to the teams around who after our transfer window and recent form would have thought we were going down without a fight. Its absolutely critical that we get the same performance in the Derby, there is no way liverpool are going to want it right now and if we put in that same effort we can get something from that game.

I admire this post because of the bravery of using the word "ginormous". Although, I often use it in my speech, I have never used it in writing as I just don't know how to spell it, I can't imagine how it should be spelt, and even when I check it, it still looks wrong, and yet I still have no idea how it would spell be spelt differently. Bravo to you @Hafnia. I do agree with you though, a great win - great for confidence, great for the manager (not least in terms of the trust of both the fans and the players), and a really good marker for going forward. In a lighter note... After keeping out the league leaders who are flying at the moment, a trip to a faltering Liverpool side should be easy pickings! Ok, maybe I've had a couple too many glasses (bottles) of wine , let's not get too carried away. Hafnia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t care less they certainly got their fair share of dodgy decisions. How good was Onana today! He’s going from strength to strength. I hate the game at Anfield but I am looking forward to him getting into their fragile midfield. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt about it. The refs will be trying to keep us down there too, makes for good viewing figures if a big side are relegation candidates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
