It's strange really. In the Bruce part of the season we sometimes didn't get the points that our general play deserved. In the MON part of the season, we're getting the points that our general play didn't deserved, based on some quality goalscoring by players that Bruce signed.

I'm starting to believe in pixie dust. MON has it, Bruce didn't.

I'd rather have a lucky manager than a good one. But I'll take the good & lucky one that we seem to have at the moment, please

They had loads of possession but couldn't break us down. We were very well organised and defended very well. We had by far the best chances in the game.

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, I'm simply frustrated he can't enjoy a 2-0 victory after the shite bruce served up. Why sit and pick at negatives?

I am! I'm delighted we won and agree with your points. Apart from our goal of the season though we couldn't get the ball of them

I think Gards and Catts in midfield would be a better balance, i'll just email the club and let them know

We made the best chances & we took them. At times it was like the Alamo but you have to put the round thing in the onion bag. Delighted with the three points, especially after losing NB.

We were 2nd best all over the park today - but scored two top-class goals, and that's what being a top Premier League team is all about - its happened to us countless times.

Of the 3 players Setanta mentioned for MotM, 2 were Swansea and only Bardsley got a mention for us. One of theirs got it in the end.

There's a lot more to football than passing it around nicely, despite what Sky, Barcelona and Wenger will have you believe.
