Derby County 1-3 Wolves.

This is probably the best we've played in a match this season. We were very dominant for the majority of the match, without Tray Hume's mistake we would have kept a clean sheet. Captain Simeioni had a fantastic match as part of the two behind the striker and Mathys Tel played fantastic as the centre forward getting his goal and linking up play really well to. One player in this game who I was very impressed with was Patrick Roberts. This new formation has really started to bring the best out of the atacking midfielder and again he deserved his goal. We're ninth in the league however this is still a very close devision and anything could happen at this moment. Nothing is certain however if we can keep picking up results against the teams around us and get some bonus results against teams higher we have every chance of avoiding the drop.

Brighton 2 - 2 Everton

Covering for Will here. Fun see sawing game which is always the way when I'm up against David. Not much happens for the first hour then the game bursts into life as both of us try to chase the game. Stats reflect how even this game was and ultimately I'm happy with getting two draws whilst looking after someone else's team. Everton will probably wonder what happens if they don't have those two late injuries though.

Bournemouth 3–0 West Ham United
Bournemouth blew West Ham away with a ruthless first-half display. Viktor Gyökeres opened the scoring on 25 minutes before James Maddison doubled the lead with a spectacular effort three minutes later. A nightmare moment for the visitor's keeper Alex Meret, who fumbled Alex Telles’ back-pass into his own net, made it 3–0 by half-time.
Maddison ran the show and claimed Man of the Match.

Fortunately West Ham's manager was missing from the dugout on a scouting mission and wasn't around for comment.

Bournemouth 3–0 West Ham United

Its a very very lucky win, we missed the deadline for the sheet and as it luckily happened so did the away manager, this lead to a T v T match up where we somehow managed to use the home advantage to get a decent 3 nil win but its nothing to be proud of when missing the deadline. It does help with keeping our form alive and bringing us back into contention in the table after the dismal start we have had.
