Both Sheff U and Burnley had less shots than their opponents today. Not checked our stats....

I wonder if he knows everyone wants him fired if he doesn't sign a striker this weekend
I asure everyone's AWAKE after that game.

Disagree, back then the ole's were coming with the game won and it was still entertaining. I'd have happily ole'ed today at 5-0 watching clever interplay. but at 0-0, 1-0 or down it is boring

We had 29, 12 on target.

Both were more than our opponent. :)

If we'd done the Sheff U thing and ground out wins in tight games - home to Burnley (+3) and away to Sunderland (+2), we could be 13 points clear of 3rd place right now.

No complaints. It was a happy day. We're by far the superior team in the league. Just gripes me when the also rans grind out these undeserved wins - can't really say we've had one undeserved point this season.

Perfect game from Farke.

Firpo made a massive difference to our threat, more balanced with attacks from both full-backs. All the forwards scored, sunbs contributed and scored. Aaronson, Piroe, Joseph and Gnonto with much needed goals. Struijk back.

Cardiff aren't great, but they were on an excellent run of form heading into this game.

This result is probably causing some worry to seep in around the league.

Good :)

About time we put down a marker. Kick on now, results against Sunderland and Sheff United will really put some distance between us and the pack.
