Schofield and Buzz were, let's face it, appalling appointments. But the short-term panic appointment - if you want to call it that - of Our Colin is looking like it could be an absolute masterstroke. Fair play, and up the fecking Town. All part of the master plan. Given the ‘transition phase’ we are in, the board realised we’d finish 15th at best this year. The only way to make that look like a success was to be appalling for most of the season and heroic at the end. We appointed coaches accordingly. |

Porro ,did you hear Warnock after match - Rudoni is one of the best young players out there.What do we know ..he has been picked every game by three managers and the crap he has been given on here has been appalling I'm with Neil Warnock on this. Took until today to score but for me I think he's been excellent this season. Work rate all season has been exceptional, and for me he's added to his game enormously. MOTM today for me and well deserved. The lack of runners ahead of him is a huge factor. Rather than being able to pick a pass he regularly has to go back inside his man. Give him a pass to pick and he’ll look a different player. |

Fantastic result for us, in fact 4 unreal results.
Lots of good performances today but Rudoni and Koroma were superb, never over played it and made sure we created from the possession we had.
It’s been said a million times but football is a simple game and confidence is everything. Warnock has made this team and all of us believe again.

Amazing run at just the right time. 3 great wins against playoff chasing sides, 2 away. Can't believe with 10 points from 4 games, all the points deductions, and QPR imploding, it still is so tight, but you'll obviously have the momentum now, and can hopefully pull clear. Great stuff.

I said after Boro we now had a chance, that chance just got a bit better. I'm sure Neil would tell us, onto Monday. Another tough game but an opportunity to confound the odds. Can I make a polite request? Can all those calling Neil, Colin, give it a rest? Seems a bit disrespectful at the worst of times but he's close to achieving a minor miracle. I said the same early on and completely agree, it’s disrespectful, in fact the mods should alter ‘Colin’ to Neil or something else |

Congratulations. Well deserved win. No complaints. Once you scored we did next to nothing to suggest we might comeback - was a shock wwe scored at the end. Then spent the rest of the injury time trying to pick fights with your players. A game between two sides that have massively underachieved this season. On paper we should be in Watford's position and Watford should be going for automatic. From a neutral perspective they're great. I haven't looked at their results but it would not be a huge surprise to see them knock a big premier league side out of one cup and then get bummed in the gob by Rochdale in the other. |

Wow, another unexpected but welcome result.
Does anyone have a link to the highlights? Sky Sports won’t work in Spain while on holiday.

Is there some historical beef between Wilder and Warnock? There was some comment on 5 live about them not being able to even look at each other.

Well we have got 4 points off Burnley, 6 off Norwich, 4 off WBA and 3 off Boro and Sheff U so yes we can do better against the top teams but our record generally has been awful. Can say we've probably only really played well in 3/4 games. Doesn't matter who the manager is or even the team just seems that we lack ideas and any bottle once we let a goal in. Even managed to lose to QPR in their only win since...November? |

Then spent the rest of the injury time trying to pick fights with your players. Very fair summary. I was really annoyed you got that late second as it made the nerves jangle when we were in fact in complete control. I thought Watford showed a complete lack of heart....something we've seen with town too many times in the earlier part of the season. Better technical players than ours but without the desire and fight to make something of it. Big changes needed as I don't think a manager change again is solving that |

If Carlsberg did away days...
The scenes for the third I've not seen since the Wagner season.
The tide has changed now, when our attacking players get the ball you feel something is going to happen whereas before I wouldn't even have stood up.
I think on an individual level, Ruffles, Rudoni and Kasumu had their best game for town. They nullified some of the most valuable players in the league.
Seems unfair to single them out though, everyone was absolutely bloody brilliant. They were everything Watford weren't, pride, passion and will. We wanted it they didn't.
I've slagged them off this season for not representing what the town and fans are all about but fair play to them that was fucking brilliant

Said on that recent interview with Prutton that he still didn’t know what ‘Colin’ meant and it didn’t sound like he was being coy. It has always been the name opposition fans called him, but personally don’t think any fans of a club he’s managing should be saying it. Nobody enjoys being called a wanker by people they don’t know. |

Another excellent win on the road.
Like the Millwall game, we sat back and let Watford pass themselves to sleep without creating many clear-cut changes. Watford have clearly got some good players, but they didn't seem to have much of a plan when they got themselves in good positions. We countered very well and looked dangerous every time we went forward with Koroma and Rudoni.
Our defending for the most part was top-notch, and I'm pretty sure we got our head on every single one of Watfords 10+ corners before they did. I'm not sure they created a single half-chance from any of them.
If I was going to have a grumble, I'd say Valek probably should have done better with both of their goals. Not howlers by any means, but they both seemed to go through him. I'd have Nichols back as soon as he's fit.

It's a bit like when one of your mates calls you a ****** or whatever, it's fine. But if Gary Lineker calls you it, you just want to pull their face off. |
