My main takeaway from that first half is how committed Nyambe is to the defensive side of being a right back. There was a moment when NML was dribbling across the 18 yard line having cut in from the left, Nyambe had acres of space in the right hand channel, NML saw the space and the gap to pass through, pointed to Nyambe so he could make the run and pick up the imminent through ball that would unlock the defence and lead to our 4th goal….and Nyambe said no and stood his ground instead 😂

absolute pleasure to watch footballers wanting to,and enjoying playing football,bradley looks some player

He does! Where's he pulled that composure from? Absolutely knows when to slow it down, when to play it quick, short, long. It is Halloween, but his outfit pretending to be prime John Terry is very convincing.

Northampton are rubbish but you can only beat whats in front of you. We are playing well & we've lost to worse / equally as poo sides this season. Good performance so far. Play like this everyweek & he'll win the fans back over 

Please stop being so negative and get behind the manager with the rest of us.

He wasn't aware that Man City won their first title in about 50 years, coming from behind in the last 10 minutes of the season to win 3-2 against already relegated QPR then.😃

Much better performance and not just lumping it into the box

Sonny Bradley has played well and steady and is good at passing into feet …(I actually don’t like it when Cashin constantly plays the diagonal long ball )

Washington has been really good and a mention for Hourihane …it is him dropping into the back at times which is allowing the forward movement of others 

best performance of season so far for me but I now want to see us do it again this half ….don’t go long …keep doing what’s been successful …we could easily get lazy and start long balls into the box and channels but let’s see us control the half and maybe add another 

well done Warne and players much better 👏🏻

Exactly what we want. If we played like this with any degree of frequency none of the Warne out threads would exist.

Yes why haven't we attempted to play like this before? Is it because they aren't strong in midfield? 😄 They are very poor, and that is what is so infuriating. The whole league is ordinary, those near the bottom are awful. 

Love Birdy, please score a hat-trick. #tweettweettweet #COYR
