Brilliant lads. Made that harder than it needed to be and I nearly had a heart attack but nice to see Hwang get a goal to boost that confidence. Well done Vito.

Oh, sheer bliss at three points! Well done all, crowd were brilliant too! Doing it United with one in the last minute was so enjoyable.

Great result again, still a lot of work today, but a flicker of light can now be seen. Far more optimistic about the coming games now.

Holding on to Cunha is a must. Man.U couldn't handle him, he is priceless to us. Hope the FA go easy on him.

Yes, maybe we should have dominated 10 men in the second half more but it's the points that matter, plus, I called the score correctly. Five scored and non conceded in the last two games pulling that goal difference down might prove valuable at the end of the season.
Being his first home game that result is invaluable for Pereira so pleased for him.

I thought Santi wasn't Premier League quality.

Apparently WO the whole squad weren't good enough, and the issue wasn't a manager problem, that's according to this response from bullysboys in November!
What exactly is said by this?! So any managers that is trying to polish the previbial t@rd is lying are they?! He said its how they WANT to play he NEVER said the squad was good enough for it?! Where have I heard this before, oh that's right Nuno and Bruno both said the same thing (particularly regarding a back four)! That's three Prem quality managers now who have all said the same thing, who CLEARLY know less about the game than you! But of course your right it's definetly a manager problem and not a club problem. Let's employ Edwards and watch history repeat itself, then you can get to the part you enjoy doing and blame the next manager crazy enough to join the line?! Remind me what did Einstein say was the definition of insanity (you probs know more than him to:)?! Trying the same thing again and again and expecting different results?! But yeah definitely a manager problem! Priceless?

Haha, it's two games OOTD didn't see you out saying this after we beat Fulham did ya?! Answer me this OOTCD, do you think our defence is Prem quality yes or no? Cause Hobbs doesn't, nor does Jeff apparently but seems like you know more than them two then?! So I'm guessing you don't think we need to sign anyone in the window then? We did the double over Chelsea last season, didn't see you shouting about that either did ya?!
Don't get me wrong I think Vitor has done a fantastic job but at this stage its two games, he will still want to strengthen in the window but according to you it's not needed is it? Worst set piece record in Europe but we don't need any cbs then, cause that's what ya saying? OK then fella!
Last question, if this squad is SO clearly high quality why after waiting an AGE to get a chance in the Prem did Vitor only want to commit for 18 months?! As always you clearly know something he doesn't! Mind you I don't expect any answers, you never give um cause it's FAR easier just to have a moan eh ?
Great to see the win but would be even nicer if you could just enjoy it regardless of who the manager is but clearly not though eh! ?

Haha also OOTD I notice how you've purposefully edited this to dilute my point! Are we playing four at the back now then are we, I must have missed that! ?
I love that just two games on you did this, it's TOO funny! My comment was based off over four years of ownership, yours was based off 180 minutes of a new manager! In fairness I suspect that's a relative representation regarding our attention spans! Too funny! ?

2 excellent wins under VP but 2 CBs still needed. Toti again giving the ball away easily.

Surely Hobbs and Jeff do see them as prem quality as they were happy enough at the start of the season, I’d argue only the fact Mosquera was injured long term are they considering needing to add another cb. Will be interesting to see who we sign over January after these two results and the marked improvement in the defence. Admittedly it is only two games, against a poor Leicester side and a dodgy Man Utd side. But it’s two clean sheets after only 1 this season and despite our poor set piece record, how many set pieces did we defend well in the last two games, which would imply the change in manager has helped.
Im still being cautious as it’s early days but the difference in the team is noticeable. I will say the club saw there was a problem and made a change, hopefully they back VP and we continue to build. Also VP has been using doc as a cb, something Gon didn’t try as far as I know, seems to be working well. Anyway enjoying the ride again, great win today and a bit moral booster.

Toti is a disaster just waiting to happen, he needs loaning out or selling, he's a weak point in that defence and the opposition know it.
Pace gets him out of his poor defensive work and ball control
But that won't last forever.

I suspect it's a given that we'll get in a CB in January. Maybe another striker.
Who should cover Cuhna when/if he gets banned? At the moment he is unplayable.
Who do you think we'll try to offload in order to balance the books. For me Sarabia, Traore and Hwang while we can still get a few quid for him.

The players you've mentioned are crocks on big money Blackfords so it won't be easy to offload. Squad depth is important too if players aren't perpetual sicknote.
