I don't think it's you. I think we are just boss at lunchy KO's.

Aren't we usually gash on BT though?

It's a new day my friend.

Couldn't watch it earlier so only just seen that and the quality of his goals were better than I'd imagined after listening to radio commentary.

Naismith scores a hat-trick against Chelsea giving Lieutenant Colombo aka the Special One the ultimate piping down after him belittling the club all summer with his failed media-driven pursuit of Stones. If ever there was proof that throwing money at a problem isn't always the answer this was it.

Must be dreaming. It doesn't get much better. Been walking around punching the air with a clenched fist since the final whistle. You just have to enjoy days like this as they don't come around too often.

It's also turned an average start of the season into a good one so there is plenty to build on.

Thanks for making my day Blues.

Terrific football in the build up of all 3 goals. Confidence is building.

Missed the game as I was playing very low low football.

Can some beast link the goals.

Nice one.

 

[Ashtonian]

You still think he's awful despite scoring a hattrick? Go and have a lie down.

Steve Watson scored a hat trick for us as well. jesus he had his best hame in his career today I came on here and gave gum praise considering my opinion of him and all of a sudden you get it stuck up your arse?

I would walk 500 miles by the Proclaimers (Scottish)
Actually think it would make a great Naismith song - better than "One Stevie Naismith"

Just repeat the chorus again and again
with " Steven Naismith Steven Naismith"
der der der der der der der der de

It does get sang at aways mate.

Yeah good seasons are often built on results like that early on. The corresponding fixture at roughly the same point last season seemed to spell the beginning of the downturn as confidence was affected. It could hopefully be the reverse process this season.

I'm more pleased that we are not leaking goals than anything, because as well as you are playing if they are going in at the back it always eats away at the confidence. Stop leaking them, stay solid, and we have enough talent to cause many problems for the opposition.

Oh, it's so good of you to pipe up after he's scored the goals. Let's see how well he does the next few times he plays, Captain Hindsight. I'll see you then!

was just trying to help you spin it as a positive, but whatevs.

As for Naisy, don't care about next week, the lad shows up against Chelski.

Was in work today and couldn't believe it when the missus txt to say 2-0 to Naisy. Signal went then and I literally had no way if knowing what the score was and then a txt came through to say Naisy had dry bummed Chelsea 3-1.

Just looking through all the player comments, sounds like everyone was superb. Can't wait to watch the match in about an hour. COYB!!

Two touches becomes one, passes going into the path of the runners instead of having to check their run, showing for it instead of shying out, it's all confidence and Eff-all to do with formations. This is where having a passing ethos starts to pay off and why sticking to your principals instead of taking the easy option was the right thing to do during the harder times.

Said it all along but if you give Naismith a chance in and around the penalty box he rarely wastes an opportunity,the fella has got his limitations technically in other areas but gives 100% week in week out,thank christ we didn't cash in on him the other week!

In a weird way mate i think Howard's MOM performance against Spurs could have rebuilt the cb's confidence in him - at least for now, makes a massive difference when you think the bloke behind you will actually stop a shot or two
