There you go, goal made by Joe. After all the adverse comments

‘Made by’ doing some heavy lifting here. It’s an assist but conjured from nothing by Baker

We deserved that.

Some really good football first half and we should have had a goal or two more. 

2nd half we’ve dug in and defended well ( apart from JRC)

Special mention to Pears, Travis, Ohashi and Weimann who I thought were all excellent.

Now I never....that is twice now where Pears comes to claim the ball and actually holds it!

As his biggest critic even I'll admit he had a very good game today.

[WacoRover]

YAY!

[DE.]

Three points closer to 50, first away win, back in the goals, only conceded one and that was due to a stupid penalty being given away. A lot of the same concerns remain but for this weekend at least I'll take this, bank the positives mentally and continue praying to wake up to the news Venky's are finally selling the club.

Fantastic win; good performance to sign off on even if we made it nervy for a while, one daft sub put us under the cosh then the others steadied it up with one piece of magic

Really ? We absolutely cut them apart first half, looked way quicker and fitter.

Really

[davulsukur]

I'll take 3 points on the road for a birthday present! Superb result!

I'm not sure I follow, how does him getting an assist mean that he shouldn't be getting criticism for his abject defending?

He is certainly having an iffy spell...I think he is responsible for giving away 3 goals..Still a good player though imo...

[Andy]

Delighted with 3 points, 2 very good team goals (and Baker's wasn't bad either).

Thought Trav was excellent today.

JRC didn't need to make that challenge and gave them a foot back in the game, but made up for it with the assist for the 3rd.

Pears is dogshit, but he's had a good game today.

Thought their number 27 up top was exactly what our side is missing. Held the ball well, intelligent distribution and brought play in around him.

He made that look easy

He's clearly quite a classy player. I wish we'd play him more to give Travis and Tronstad a rest. 

[davulsukur]

Baker's goal seemed really casual. Great finish 👏 

[moerpho]

Think Travis is my MotM today. Hardly set a foot wrong and behaving as a captain. One of his better performances for us. Long may it continue!

[doctorryan]

3 points from 3 great goals...........I still want to strangle somebody though.

[onlyonejackwalker]

An away win! Three goals! Who would have thought? Well done to one and all. Chuffed for our travelling fans.

[CambridgeRover]

Good win and good performance 

Baker needs more time on the pitch

Pears has been good for weeks

[joey_big_nose]

Think this is probably the best allround performance weve had in a long time. Apart from one mad moment from JRC weve been really great....GK, defence, midfield up front all looked excellent. Travis, Tronstad, Cantwell looks a top centre midfield, ohashi looked way better than he has recently. Really thought with losing Carter defence would be in trouble but its coped very well.

Only downsides are Hedges who continues to really struggle wide left, JRC moment of madness and big Mak offering nothing again.

He's really matured as a captain this season. That change of scenery at Ipswich has done him the world of good.

They have some really good attacking players out wide and in attacking midfield. Big strong and quick. We did well to contain them.

[Bronzed A Donis]

Phew, weight lifted.

Very good away performance. Thought Travis was excellent today, didn't think he had the pass in his locker to he honest. Ohashi too, grafted, caused a threat.

Credit to Eustace and even bigger credit to the fans who were the only people you could hear most of the game. Safe trip back everyone,  you deserved those 3 points.

[Tugayisgod]

Honestly think the last 2 games have been out best 2 performances of the season.

Wednesday we came up against an inspired keeper, but no stopping us today with 3 great goals.

Travis outstanding, having to play on the edge knowing you're a yellow card away from suspension , credit to him.

Shout out to Pears as well , who for me has done nothing wrong recently ( in fact most of the season)
