@hewey1976: Great & important win for #SAFC despite the best efforts of Marriner. How clear has a penalty be before he gives it?

@Doreen_McGloomy: Fair play to Moyes as well. I’ve been massively critical of him this season but 9 points out of 12 is some going

@AnthonyJBell: 3 wins in the last 4 from the lads. That’s what we like to see

@max9791: Massive 3 points today and an amazing confidence builder

@Sunlunfan: Worst refereeing performance I’ve seen in a long, long time. We really bloody earned that today

@LBarks72: Beat Swansea next week and things can really look better

@perchorin: Once we’re comfortably safe in January, who fancies making a run in the #FACup as well? Vito won’t get any other games in at this rate

@Beaconsfield74: Well done Moyes and co, setting things up very nicely for our trip to Wales next weekend!

@Scrivener30: Absolutely mint

@RickyReay: Well done to SAFC 9 points from 12 there is hope at the end of a difficult period

@Petski84: That’ll do nicely Good to see BIG Jan back, Defoe scoring and Pickford doing his thing

@K1LTY11: Swansea game next week is massive. #safc starting to show bottle. Let’s get this done.

@IanSafc77: Nice to have Larsson back. He looked good in MF today. Kirchoff his usual tidy self, if not slightly low on energy. Happy days!

@CarlHawman: The ultimate target man performance from big Vic,sensational
