I agree. But would that have happened had we not had a 2 goal lead with 1 min to go - something tells me not. Duffy not been outpaced like that since the Brentford game. Luckily that goal meant nothing.

Aspinall picked out several players including, from what I recall, March and Norwood who just gave it up and couldn't be arsed to chase. Not good enough, and I expect Hughton will tell them so.
Turns out we can

Tad harsh. Plenty of effort to defend the first goal - 2 great blocks. It was unlucky that the punch and both blocks rebounded to an attacking player. Agree 2nd goal was sloppy though - switched off for the last few seconds.

For the second it looked like Gallagher ran away from Norwood to me (on first viewing on SSN).

Think he was Sidwell's man, Norwood had his back to him and he came between the two of them

Yeah, but look how close Hemed got to it being his goal! He found a great bit of space and was inches away from turning it him himself. He'd have loved a goal last night

I agree Hughton would have been livid that against 10 men we allowed them to breakaway an score their 2nd, there was a lot wrong with the whole team effort there

We can Micro critique the performance from video but c'mon .... this was an impresssive away victory worthy of table toppers.. I love the coolness of Stephens and Murray . They looked real class.

I agree, he controlled that go to the exact inch of where he was aiming. Murray's was ok, but he didn't have anyone to beat apart from the keeper.
We looked rather arrogant in a good way when finishing those goals.

How did our defense get that exposed against 10 men at 3-1 up for their second?
Could have driven a bus through there.
Nice away win though.

When I watched it, I thought 'look how close Hemed got to turning it past the right post!'. He would have loved a goal but I'm glad he didn't connect with the ball just then.

Gallagher would be a brilliant signing if we could tempt Southampton to terminate his loan at Blackburn. Tall, pacy, and 9 goals in 20 games for a poor side.

I'm afraid that Stockdale is a bit of a serial flapper. Many will disagree but I believe he is far from the best goalkeeper in the Championship.
He really isn't. He's not the most aerially dominant keeper in the world, granted, but 'serial flapper' is ridiculous. Even in this specific example there is absolutely no 'flapping'. He made a clear (probably correct) decision to punch, and he successfully made the punch. He (very clearly) would have wanted to get better distance on it, though.
Newcastle and Reading are probably the only clubs in the division who wouldn't bite your arm off if offered a straight swap of first choice keeper.

Yes, many will disagree because it is wrong. But of course he plays no part in our clean sheets and is always to blame for goals. This is why some of us get annoyed with the anti Stockdale agenda.
Stockdale was poor for us in his first season at the club - he acknowledged it, and was rightly criticised for some of his performances. That wasn't an "anti-Stockdale agenda".
Last year he was much improved, and this season he has been SUPERB.
