Not sure Mourinho is just a better version of Southgate. Very much in the keep it tight and win 1-0 category. Id have liked Eddie Howe before Newcastle snapped him up.

I think Southgate has done a good job for England and our recent progress at tournaments shows this, but I firmly believe that he is too cautious minded to really push us towards winning something. I also think he's had one of the best pools of players of any manager in recent history, and any half decent manager would have got us pretty far in all those tournaments. The Euro final at Wembley was there fore the taking. 1-0 up and tried to sit back from about 30 minutes onwards. Last night, dominate the first half and second half barely get out of our half. Yes Italy played better 2nd half, but this can only be an instruction from the manager. We won the game so fair play, but it made for a harder finish than it needed to IMO. I wouldnt loose any sleep if Southgate left, apart from Im not sure what other decent managers are available and would be interested in international football.

Game over. Absolute disastrous subs. JDT needs to take this one on the chin. Morton you little fanny, giving them the ball to try and con a free kick.

All over the place since these subs. Need Dolan on for some freshness up front. At least keep them occupied

Fuck sake! Britain out scrapped. Not set up to press for another now

Looking tired now. Need a couple of changes to freshen it up.

The game against Stoke was always going to be a tough game, especially when their confidence is up. This team isn't good enough to win every game so we were always going to lose at some point. The big test of promotion is following up a bad result with a good one. This game should be a must win. Wonder if we could drop Szmodic deeper against a poor reading side. Pears Britain Carter Hyam Pickering Szmodic Travis Thomas Dolan BBD Gallagher

Wow. This is back to the preson and Rotherham performances. I thought this could well be a difficult game but the manner of it is shocking after recent weeks. Apart from the top 3, everyone beats everyone in this league. Difference between 4th and bottom isn't a great deal.

Well it was nice while it lasted! Had a dodgy result written all over it this one.

No surprises its an unchanged side. I'd like to see us with Britain in as I think he's our best all round full back, but would he harsh to drop Pickering after a goal and clean sheet or JRC given his form. Big show of support to the front three that BBD still on the bench.

Hopefully the 6 days of rest will do some of the squad good after a bit of an intense period. Cant see how you can justify changing the starting line up at the moment, so same side again. Only change I would consider is Brittain for pickering. Hopefully Stoke try and have a go which will leave some space on the counter. Think some of our players are better suited to that rather than breaking down a deep defence.

Massive win and what a february/march it's been so far. The annual Tony Tombola death spiral seems a long time ago thankfully.

Get in!!! One of the best performances I've seen in many years. Probably since the premier league days. Could have been 4 or 5 and then some solid battling. Didn't expect that level of quality.

If we dont win this it will be a travesty. So many missed chances. Unbelievable performancr so far. This has been a massive shift. Hopefully we don't pay for it at the weekend.

Should be 3-0 up. That's two absolute sitters we've not put in.

Great half. Can't fault them. Hedges and Gallagher the quietest. I'm more confident in the CBs this season that any others for a while.

Dolan...apart from that miss has been class. Best I've ever seen him. Fair play lad.

Oh my god. Have to score that!!!!

I like how he's willing to run in behind beyond the forwards. We lack that often.

Dolan looking sharp

LET have Carter and Hyannis at CB. Assuming that's a typo for Hyam..?

Didnt see the gamd but Probably one of the best results and performances of the season. Also good to see there would be life to the team without BBD. You could argue in the last 2 games having two genuine wingers in dolan and Thomas on either flank has helped the team. If Gallagher did nothing else other than stay central and throw himself at crosses he'd do alright at championship level.

Take the win. We seem harder to beat in the last month or so even if the football hasn't been great. Games like today show how desperate we are for a striker. Would have been put to bed before half time if any of them had some ability.

Need a second. 1-0 has Blackpool getting a late one out of nothing written all over it.

An early goal would help us massively against a side like Blackpool. It's seems so long ago that we scored early in a game. I can't even remember when.
