I think it's more down to the fact Turkish didn't say we would go unbeaten from the very start. He's got to take responsibility for this.

I won't waste more time on my comments about the referee (on other thread). A very welcome 3 points from a scrappy game that lacked much in footballing skill. Peretz to the rescue once again, we surely must sign him in the summer. An excellent performance from Sam Edozie who put on a good show for the absent Scienza and was unlucky to have one goal ruled out, and a penalty shout that VAR would have OK'd. Downes and Stephens have redeemed themselves after all the early season criticism they received. Azaz too, has developed himself in a good role, after a rather uneven start to the season. Having got into the Top 6, our big challenge is to stay there until the season's end, and win the play-off spot.

It’s like golf……….look after yourself and don’t worry about the rest

He really was. He had no authority at all and failed to take control of situations. There were three bad challenges in the first 15 minutes, one of which was an obviously cynical pull on Edozie to prevent a breakaway which is as obvious a booking as you'll ever see, but he let them get away with murder. Edozie then got pulled by the arm and bundled over in the box - no penalty. Again, a totally blatant foul but nothing given. Then his failure to produce a card for that moment early in the second half was just bizarre. And in the interests of balance, I do also think that Downes could/should have walked when in the second half he fouled their player then reacted badly and pushed him. Ordinarily I'd have had no complaints if he'd got sent off for that, but because of everything that he had let Norwich get away with prior to that he knew he just couldn't. It was as weak and inept a refereeing display as you will ever see at this level.

But I am afraid that if we stay in the Championship next season, we will be stuck with Baz.

I'm saving a post on this issue as you've almost read my mind. If he'd booked a few more in the first 20 minutes, it would have steadied the game down and we might have seen a better quality of football. At times it was like a Rugby game, with one or two GBH charges ongoing. In the end, he was booking people for coughing too loud.

It's impossible to put a figure on it. A goalkeeper is just one part of a team.

It was 7 minutes before Peretz decided to go down and make it even longer. He wasn't particularly bad. Especially if you view his performance through neutral eyes.

Another great performance. Looked like we were low on energy which is understable given all the games recently, but they battled hard. Azaz, Downes and THB all different gravy, but Peretz man...don't fall in love with loan signings, eh? To a man they all put another big shift in. Whole team should feel good about itself at the moment.

Nope

I especially liked how fussy he was about the correct position of free kicks and throw ins, which both teams would then totally ignore. And giving their player a warning after two fouls, then letting him do several more without ever booking him.

Brian Clough said having a good goalkeeper meant putting 15 extra points on your points total by the end of the season. How many has Peretz won us already by making huge match winning saves at pivotal points in close games - 9 at least?

one of the worst performances by a ref i have had the unfortunate pleasure of witnessing last night. I was fully expecting him to award Norwich a penalty, he seemed desperate for them to score in extra time.

Wrexham's trip to Bramall Lane is far from an easy game. Can see them dropping points there. Then they've got two more tricky aways at WBA and Birmingham with our game at theirs sandwiched in between. That's a tough run for them which could make or break their playoff bid.

Yeah. I certainly wouldn't say he was a poor signing. Ok he's a bit small but he seems a decent enough Championship player. Good at tackling, passing and is pretty quick. He was essentially signed as back up to Roerslev at the time (who has actually been a poor signing)

It's no surprise to me really. Even in the darkest times of last season's horror show, he was consistently our best player when he was in the pitch. He's one of those players in the mould of Paul Telfer who never seems to let the occasion get the better of him and will always give you a solid 7/10 performance no matter what.

Yeah, I wish he was Bazunu

Isn't Jelert here on season long loan?

Let's worry about beating Oxford first before thinking about 2nd!!

Somehow I fancy Sheff Wed to take something from their game against Hull. Wrexham have to deal with Joe Rothwell who has something to prove after his Rangers spell so obviously they're not getting anything. Everything's coming up Tonda.

Totally agree. Wasn't Bree's biggest fan since he joined, bit fair play to him. He's been a massive reason for our upturn in form.

Ronnie Eklund too

Edozie was shit hot in the first half yesterday

Is anyone shocked that those cunts are spending more money than they've got / can afford?

It’s up for grabs now
