I've got a mancrush on Dwight Gayle.
What superb control and class finish. 💪🏻

Until last night I thought him a defensive barndoor but he’s clearly on a wavelength with Dwight and so also a rangey passer with 2 exquisite passes to set up goal-scoring openings. Would definitely cut it at Championship level and hope he comes permanently for next season. He clearly loves it here and that counts for a lot. Get him signed. 

Have to disagree, I've not watched much championship football the last couple of seasons but he looks just what we've missed in both leagues over the last few seasons. No nonsense win the ball and let the players further up do what they're good at, he'd be top of my list in the summer.

You could read back one page! Or am I meant to update it every day, even when there are no matches?
 

I put us down to lose all of our remaining matches in The Fishy calculator and it had us finishing 7th, 5 points behind 6th.

It’s helpful stuff like this that makes me despair of this forum.

Is the op going to keep this thread up to date. What's the lowest we can finish now?

Nothing wrong to stumble across it, seem to recall Jim Smith doing similar with Dean Sturridge who wasn’t first choice starting the promotion season. You’re right though that focal point is important and that combined with Joe Ward finally starting to show some form, moving Sibs back to left wing back, and the signing of Ebou Adams have been key to this “mini” resurgence.

I don’t want to get ahead of myself or allow myself to be excited, but.. I feel like something has finally clicked.
Best performance we’ve ever had under Warne, in my opinion. We’ve fell on to a workable system, the main reason was the recruitment staff doing their job and finding a gem in Ebou Adams and very recently I think it’s not in any small part to having to change the dynamic with Gayle upfront. I believe these two signings in particular have changed our fortunes, similarly to how Nyambe did earlier in the season.
Sibley and Ward are excelling. The defence are well balanced, the cohesion between the midfield and defence is significantly better, gaps aren’t as freely available for the other team and we are now working well going forward. I think we actually look like a team now, which for the majority of the season has definitely been missing something. The last two performances, the dynamic of the team, I’m finally hopeful. 

Was amazed to see how many turned their noses up at him as a prospect. My only concern was whether we could afford him!
Not a long term option, clearly, but right here, right now he's gold dust. Fingers crossed he continues in the same vein as he's begun. Him and Collo in a two upfront would be a thing to see.

I like him a lot already looks a class above in this division 
shows great touches and has surprised me with his link up play and has great movement 
he will definitely score goals if he gets the right service and I think he could be a massive signing for the final run in 
was he insinuating playing padel with his goal celebration at the corner flag ….if so I love it 😂👍🏻
 

Pretty comprehensive victory in the end. We dominated the majority of the game apart from the spell they had just after we went 2-0 up. 
Until we made the break through I had a nagging fear that it was gonna be one of those games we controlled and then end up losing 1-0 right at the death.
It could and should have been more convincing in the end. Another great pick-me-up after 2 disappointing defeats. Hopefully we're hitting our stride just at the right time. Disappointing news regarding Birdy but we are eventually going to have to cope without the lad so now is a good a time as any to find a way. 

What a contrast in emotions compared to 11 days ago, two big wins later and for the first time this season we are truly in an automatic promotion slot.  Cannot wait until Tuesday and hopefully the crowd will play their part in ending the Reading hoodoo, before the big match on Saturday.  COYR.

How did Chris Martin play? 🥺

Hattrick inside 22 minutes today for Dajoune

Perfect result 😃

Unlikely. The backlash over his racism would be too much. 

First time I have seen him and surprise to see how big  he is, both tall and bulky for an 18 yo.
You'd think from physique alone he would be the sort of player to interest Warne
