Have to say watched the match on tv, thought beto was really good today, except the one on one which could of cost us, but it didn't, thought second half mcneil and adrissa seem to just be jogging around but they dug in and we got 3 points the big 40 has been achieved, happy days.

I think Beto's shot against the bar wouldn't have stood anyway. VAR would have said the ball was out of play leading up to the goal (which it clearly was) . The team dug in well, but I'm still scratching my head at McNeil playing for as long as he did.
Apart from the shot which Beto followed up, all I saw McNeil do was lose possession constantly, and he looked out of breath after 15 minutes. But it was a decent game. I thought Illiman was Man of the Match by a long way.

Pickford's save in injury time was out of this world. Where would we have been without him over the years? Another 3 points gained because of his brilliance.

He won us 2pts with that save. The more you see it, the more impressive it is.

Just saw the goals. Are we genuinely going to give Barry credit for that last goal? It looked like he fell over, it hit him and went in. Beto reacted well for his goal, and Branthwaite had no right squeezing one in from that angle! Pickford was world class again.
It took two deflections to beat him, and that save in injury time was something else indeed. Just wished we'd do this at home and win some games in front of a full stadium.

Agree, Pickford's save in injury time was brilliant. Good win today. COYB.

The ball hit Barry last, and went in the net, so yeah, it is his goal. If he hadn't been there, we wouldn't have scored the winner. According to the Sky Sports panel, if it hadn't gone in, it would have been a penalty. We all know he's crap, but having a pop when he scores a winning goal is a bit much.

Wasn't meaning it as an insult to the lad. Thought his goal against Villa was class, but this one, he (and we) got a bit lucky. It struck the back of his leg as he was on the floor.
They all count, but it didn't feel like he intended it. If he did that r often instead of his real attempts, he could get to double figures this season.

I couldn't care less where the ball hits him as long as it goes in the net. If he hadn't been pushed to the ground, he would probably have tapped it into the net. Definitely a penalty if he didn't make contact with the ball.

It definitely hit him on the backside before going in. But he reacted faster than Hall, and if it didn't go in off Barry, we would've had a penalty, as he was pushed and half wrestled, causing him to fall.
