Brought in for next to nowt to do a back up job to help keep us up which it looks like we will do. Good honest pro.

Love reading the extreme opinions on our midfielders, who all range from a 6.5 - 6.75 out of 10 as Prem midfielders. You can have your favourites by all means, but to suggest one is abject or class is a bit of a stretch. They're all pretty much the same standard, and as we're a sort of low to mid level Prem team that's absolutely fine.

None of them are the new Defour, but it's unlikely we'll ever have another in the class of Defour, unless it's one with a similarly knackered body.

Isn't that our priority

It is our priority but there is nothing like two good wins on the trot to keep a squad confident and fired up for the next game. The win told us how good Rodriquez remains.
It also showed how classy Tarkowski is , look at how Liverpool are missing Van Dyck. It demonstrated to me there no slackers in our squad.
Also we seem to be getting under the skins of opposition teams who think they are better than us. SD is getting a scary reputation . Yesterday Scott Parker had a go at our Management team, just as Klopp did on Thursday. All because they were losing!
Briefly how big is Jimmy Dunne fgs.?

He had a good game and I'm pleased as I felt he was a good acquisition at the time and was starting to doubt it.

He has one frustrating tendency where he seems to unnecessarily put air on the ball when a simple pass along the ground will do - I'd noticed it in previous games but one very promising move broke down in the second half when he lobbed a simple pass to Dwight which he failed to control, much to his annoyance.

You are 2 times behind a broken clock for being right. Nobody will do or have any need to apologise to Walter Mitty

That’s funny, but everyone calls for me to apologise all the time, which I have when I was wrong.

Save this post, and we will see how it ages

Jimmy's a few thou over 6 foot.

I've just watched the game, and have to say I was pleasantly surprised by Stephens.
We have a good squad right now.
