Great finish tonight, has certainly looked one of our better players so far. Probably found his level and looks better physically this season too.

Not sure about the hand behind the ear celebration to our fans though. Any criticism to the team and him has been rightly deserved in recent times.

Not sure about found his level he was our best attacker in the prem 2 years ago. Found his fitness might be more to the point. Not sure, but the hand behind the ear could have been aimed at Forest fans as he started the celebration in their area.

and how do you come to that conclusion?

DM was way too negative tonight and who in their mind players HRK for 90 minutes against Bolton? Phillips got him out of jail tonight.

Watching the replay again it's clearly aimed out our fans. Oh well hopefully it spurs him on again for another 8 game run of form.

Pleased for Matty. On his day he can be the most dangerous winger in the division. However, we know he's a confidence player and so hopefully this will spur him on for this season.

I think he was just enjoying and soaking up the noise of a very relieved goal celebration.

Nothing more, nothing less.

"Scotland call up West Ham's Robert Snodgrass to replace West Brom winger Matt Phillips"

I didn't notice any injury to him or him showing any sign of discomfort during the game yesterday

Matt was able to turn Stoke inside out at times.

There was definitely a point in the second half where he did start to struggle with a knock. Hopefully he's missing the internationals as a precaution as he's been our most consistent performer by quite some way so far this season.

I hope it's not serious as if he ain't fit we could be faced with Tyrone mears playing rwb for a few games...

Been one of our best players so far this season. Whilst yesterday he only got forward a few times when he did Stoke we're really struggling. Also contained McLean.

BigFrank20 · « **Reply #984 on:** September 02, 2018, 07:19:13 PM »

I got the impression he was being very careful not to give McClean any chance to get a head start on him in any sort of foot race that might develop and so was a lot more defensively inclined than in recent games

Scooby Doo · « **Reply #985 on:** September 02, 2018, 07:41:39 PM »

Always felt when he turns it on he's as good as what we've had in a long time, Chadli included. He has his critics but what he has shown is his ability at this level is head and shoulders above. And shows why there have been instances in The Premiership when he has turned teams inside out.

Hull Baggie · « **Reply #986 on:** September 02, 2018, 08:46:33 PM »

He played well yesterday but I would have liked him to take on Pieters more often especially after Pieters got booked in the first half.

beechyboy90 · « **Reply #987 on:** September 14, 2018, 10:19:38 PM »

Been our best player by a county mile so far this season. The way he's playing a prem team will be knocking our door for him in January.

caravanc58 · « **Reply #988 on:** September 14, 2018, 10:23:45 PM »

only player who played above average tonight.

Mister AT · « **Reply #989 on:** September 14, 2018, 10:24:34 PM »

Can see he has the confidence to go past his man everytime.

4 goals in 7 games for a winger is a great return.

Adder · « **Reply #990 on:** September 14, 2018, 10:25:24 PM »

One of only 2 or 3 who had any urgency tonight. Sky were dwelling on the poor defending for his goal but that was doing Phillips a dis-service...it was a direct run, energy with a slice of luck in getting the ball back but then a cool finish wrong footing defender and keeper.

Canmore Baggie · « **Reply #991 on:** September 14, 2018, 10:57:38 PM »

If only he had a few more people around him playing as well as he is - we'd be lethal.

Being relegated with 3 different teams tells me he's found his level...the championship

Our best attacking player in the prem 2 years ago. He's staying fit which is a huge thing for him....said himself it's the first full pre-season he's had since he's been here.

May be right - but if so he is a very good Championship player - maybe in that too good for the Chumps but not good enough for the Prem category, like Gayle. Or like Albion used to be...

liverbaggie · « **Reply #995 on:** September 15, 2018, 07:46:55 AM »

The point is he's playing well now and scoring goals.

Agreed, that is the point. Looks like anyone who plays well this year will be labelled with the slur 'Championship player'.

Any news on his fitness, desperately missing him

Sted1990 · « **Reply #998 on:** October 04, 2018, 10:05:52 PM »

I imagine he wonâ€™t play as they will not want to send him on Scotland duty

KN22 · « **Reply #999 on:** October 04, 2018, 10:39:17 PM »

I really hope that he is available for Saturday. We are missing him big style. The players just donâ€™t trust Mears. This was very noticeable at Preston where he was largely ignored, especially in the first half.
