Time for some supporters to get off Amari Bells back, excellent again today.

Excellent result , from a poor performance against Fulham, an ok one against hull, that’s a very good performance so we have been getting better as the weeks went on, if we beat Brentford I may just start to believe.....

Looked solid for this win, this was what an improved and healthy defense does. Walton a couple of truly great saves, we need to keep him, he is getting better.

And lets face it - we are a better attacking team without Gallagher in the side. Some things are a blessing in disguise. Whenever he gets fit again, he should not be starting, at least not for the rest of the season.

Gallagher getting injured is a blessing as if he's fit he plays.

Surely we can't beat Brentford can we?! If we do win there then it'll be the first time this season I'll genuinely believe we can finish in the top 6.

I hate when fans say stuff like this 

We won plenty of games with him playing. It's never "a blessing" when one of your own players gets injured!

I have criticised Mowbray. But credit where it is due, he deserves immense praise for his selection and tactics and preparation for today and other recent matches. 3 points off the play offs without our best player and other important players is terrific, particularly with no January investment. Blooding of some youngsters and a settled back four. Massive improvement from our full backs, who now look much more confident. Players playing in their correct positions too. Hats off to Mowbray.

Gallagher being in this side plugging up and down the wing would make us worse, make no mistake. Sounds harsh but its a very valid point IMO.

Samuel has to be ahead of Gallagher!

With two home games to follow against average teams.... i really dont mean to put a downer on things because I'm ecstatic tonight but we know what happened the last time we started to believe, six without a win!

Which is ridiculous considering the gap in fee and wage between the two. 

[chaddyrovers]

Great win. Only 3 points to 6th. Another clean sheet. 11 clean sheets this season.

We are finding a way to win even without Dack, Graham, Rothwell and Holtby. 

Mowbray and players deserve huge credit today and the season so far.

Let's focus on the players who played and their performance. Not ppl who didn't take part

Why even mention Gallagher? IMO, you are obsess with constantly digging at Gallagher even he not part of the squad

Stop being so sensitive. Gallagher has contributed very little this season, mostly as he's constantly played out of position. Him being injured has forced Tony's hand in playing players who are much more suited to that role there. If that means we now get in the play offs then i couldn't give a flying fuck about offending you or anyone else in saying his injury is a blessing.

Come on chadders its totally valid to compare.

You're right but it's nailed on that Tony will set our stall out to try not to lose.

Anyway, let's not worry about next week and enjoy today's brilliant showing.

I'd say that's what he has to do. It's the back 4 and travis/Johnson digging in. Working hard. Keeping it simple that's allowing us to progress forward with confidence.

Why? Let's talk about the players who performed today not players not taking part. People love to compare but the reality is we have no idea what would have happen if Gallagher had started.

I can also see hos point why focus on someone who did not play to use as a negative when the players on the park did the job.

While criticism of individual players for their performance in specific games is valid. The generic criticism of a player seems harsh . We are on 50 points with Gallagher playing the majority of those. Samuel plays one and its better and that is the answer. 

While it may or not be correct Samuels performance shouldn’t be a stick to beat another player for. Gallagher players in Mowbray selected position for him not to long ago that was Armstrong’s. 

Maybe sometimes the team is more important than the individual.

His injury has forced Tony to play players that are more suited to that role there. Its not a criticism of the player.

Rothwell, JRC and Gallagher hopefully fit for Brentford. I'd be happy with a point. As much as I want the win, going to Brentford and not getting beaten, has to be the plan. We cannot go gung ho.

You didn't offend me,I just think you sound like a dick saying things like that. 

It's a stupid angle to take on a positive result.

Just sat at Euston basking in the glory of a great performance and win. Lots of top performances today but Buckley was terrific for me. Walton not far behind and then probably nine more just behind. Also well done to Mowbray who got his tactics spot on. I have been critical of him many time but in recent games he has got it right.

[Inglorious basturk]

A lot of pleasing things to take from today’s day out . Slightly frustrating to think of the money on the bench that could have been spent on defenders when we had dom
