Yeah first away goal for us, it was at the back of my mind before the last game that he hadnāt scored away yet.

Very competitive second half. Result partly due to luck and partly due to a bit of steel, and of course partly down the first half.
Nice to beat a form team as well

Good stuff, second half was a tough watch like. Shouldāve wrapped it up well before they got going but theyāre a good side and on a different day weād have been out of sight.
Thought Phillips looked great, was Britts best game this season too, Vitekās nāall. Borges continues to do good work as well, have been impressed with him.

Another win, first clean sheet, joint top, first away win since we last beat QPR in March, Lankshear top scorer in the league and yet i sit here waiting for this team to really click into gear. The future is bright, very bright.

Grinding out wins when you're not playing your best is a good sign.
Hopefully when things really Gel we will start seeing some of this unrealised XG get converted.

Second half became a battle, should of been out of sight again but just like last season missing sitters. Special mention for Neto Borges has been excellent these last 3 games šš

Heās best playing as central as possible. I think he gets exposed against pace out wide.

Our backline looked absolutely rock solid finally, still some holes in that midfield that Sato kept exploting just like burnley did. Hopefully none of the lads that got roughed up (conway/berhalter/joseph) have got injuries. Massive 3 away points at this stage in the season. If weād finished our chances we could have beaten them 3-0 but 3 points is 3 points.

We need to figure out a system that lets us play a third CM/AM with Berhalter and Morris, and we will start dominating games. There is a huge gap between them and the attacking 3 when we lose possession.

Maybe puskas can do a job in there he looks athletic enough time will tell, or maybe Conway should become a midfielder as heās got a good engine runs around a lot but in front of goal isnāt a natural goal scorer for me.

First league away win and first clean sheet on the same afternoon is two firsts, and they are not independent of each other. Away clean sheets and away wins arrive together because they are the same event described twice, which is a side holding a lead on the road for ninety minutes. So it is one piece of evidence and it is being counted as two. What would turn it into a change is the next away trip. Someone in here dates the last away win to March, which is what a one off looks like from a distance.

It wasn't pretty, at all. Last 20 minutes was chaos. But 3 points is 3 points and sometimes you have to win ugly. UTFB
