Your constant put downs of this player are unnecessary. He was outstanding tonight. I have been and can assure you he was very good. In your eyes certain players simply cannot be seen to be credited. It’s more than half of the team actually. The game certainly did not pass him by. Better than Mowatt by a distance.

Another one who doesn't address the rap sheet.  Fair enough, thought we were better than that. More captain  letsyoudownico than fantastico.

This post   

One home win since 2016.

13 games later they’re champions   

Congrats to the Bears but let's be honest that's embarrassing from Somerset on that wicket.

Grant. We simply don't win that game without him.

Can we put this Plan B shout to bed? There is nothing else. This is the system, we either get behind it or not. Again tonight will gloss over the problems not with the system but with the personnel.

I hope it pees down in Lanzarote for you for the rest of your holiday. See there is an example of another completely spiteful comment.

Once again, what part of my post wasn't true, regards the weather... set very ******* fair.

i am sorry but you definitely have some sort of agenda when it comes to Livermore.

What in my post wasn't true?

But if Johnstone had conceded that first goal in such a manner, I don't think you'd be putting it down to the shooting technique of the scorer. Just saying!   

Johnstone had already gifted a goal, again glossed over because we won. Don't think it's in doubt Dieng has the better upside of the two...

No he didnt, he over hit 2 balls in a 5 min period....the rest of the game he was excellent for us

Mishit 2 clear shots. Game passed him by aside from that. Known poor player who has somehow got a reputation as a good pro despite drugs ban and cab 4 and amazingly despite that rap sheet captain of our great club. I remain embarrassed he plays for us.

Sky reckon its gone down as a goal to Grant.

Shot was on target. No reason for it to be an og.

He is an atrocious player. One of the worst signings we've ever made, if not the worst.

You never could judge a player

Val should give their keeper a big hug because up until then we were awful in front of goal. Mulumbu must be ***** if he can’t get in front of the useless Livermore.

Youssouf wouldn't have a problem getting in this team.

Poor performance overall but the points are what matter.  We did deserve the win out of the two teams, but it was another struggling effort for the bulk of the game.

They say about strikers needing to score one off their backside sometimes and that was basically Grant's first.  Keeper just threw it in.

Superb second goal, started with Livermore and Mowatt mugging the QPR player.  Good play from Hugill and Robbo and great finish from Grant.  It reminded me of earlier in the season when we would frequently win the ball that far up and create.  Much more likely to score than when we just lump it up the pitch.

Sat in Lanzarote with 2 QPR fans took me most of the first hour to convince them they were ceding possession to us on purpose after they'd previously dominated games.

First time really they tried to play out Mowatt and Livermore swarmed them. Great goal but another example of how not yo play against us. Chair had been their best player too.

Picking the likes of Livermore and Grant will get the Manager the sack.

Time after time certain players give us zilch.

Personally i'd pay up Livermore in January and free him.  Likewise I'd make a financial arrangement to get Grant back to Huddersfield.

No team has outplayed us / been better technically but we cannot score for toffee.

Wake up.Ismael.

Love a premature rant!!

We controlled the last 96 minutes of the game. Not sure we deserved to win though.

Pleasing to see Grant get a brace, worrying that it glosses over our serious issues.

Best two players for the Albion tonight Livermore and Furlong.  And a lovely lay off there from Hugill in the build up to the second goal.

I've got a lot of time for you mate, but you must be joking?

We're in complete control of the game, problem is we've gifted them a one goal lead so they don't care.

Need better (any) end product in the final third.

We need Trent Alexander Arnold at right back... we've got Terence Trent Darby.

In this system Furlong is our most important player and his end product is not good enough.

Congrats to Lancashire - were not going to take ten wickets today.  Somerset came with a plan of taking as much time out this game as possible and fair play to them it worked.

Entertaining session watching Sibley, Rhodes and Yates belt it around the ground. A flamingo six from Sibley being the highlight as we chase a lead of 270.

We’ll need a miracle on this very flat batting deck.

The hopeless Somerset batting is certainly doing it's best to take the title to Edgbaston...
