Hopefully the massive panic brigade will stay quite for a couple of weeks now.

I've been saying for most of the season now that 2 or 3 bad results will see a team in the top 3 drop out of top 4. 2 or 3 big wins will also see a team in 4th, 5th or 6th get closer or into the top 4!

We got one today and it shouldn't be underestimated on how big this win COULD be for rest of the season.

Yes, we've been awful since the turn of the year. I'm pretty sure the players and the manager has noticed this and I'm also pretty sure they've been doing everything possible to turn it around, so I salute the performance today and urge everyone associated with the club to build on this, starting at Leicester in 2 weeks!

Yeah we may still miss out on top 4 but from 2nd to 6th is so tight at the minute it could go either way for any of us. Best thing to do is support the team and we'll evaluate how we done at the END of the season.

Even this afternoon, I was reading on social media people's comments to the starting line up and it was a huge majority writing us off before the game started.
"lucas in defence, we've had it. "
"Lucas staring when we have just sent sent a beast in sakho to palace"
It's laughable. Lucas is slow and clumsy at times, but he done everything he needed to today. Sakho can be a good player at times, but mostly makes shocking decisions with the ball and panics massively when one on one so get over it, he's gone!

Come on reds, finish the season strongly.

lucas not only played well in defence, he should have also scored with a free header, a great display from him, social media sadly can get hysterical BEFORE a game is played, a sign of the times sadly.

Would rather the patience being shown to Lucas (who has been consistently awful in defence) was shown to a youngster not a player on his way out. one half decent game doesn't make up for the endless list of nightmares he has had. one of the kids couldn't do much worse.

{Ed001's Note - endless list of nightmares? Some of you people dream up utter bull! Lying to make a point just makes you seem like an arse.}
