Reasons
close game felt draw was fair
Wigan's defense held out against a strong Wigan team. I'd have liked to see Norwich attack down the wings as Wigan look weakest there.
Personally don’t think Wigan have enough in their team to beat a good Norwich team. Tactically Norwich are better. I don’t believe Malouda or Arseshavin are good enough anymore.
Both managers have set up to counter each other's tactics. In the end it's going to be hard to seperate with a draw
the fairest outcome.
Norwich came in with a game plan, and it worked to perfection. The front three were a nightmare for Wigan's defence to handle, and Norwich's defence was more than able to withstand the attacks from Kone and the wide men. A good solid win for anti-football.
close game but the wingers of Wigan grab a goal on the break
Norwich went with three strikers against the sweeper, but Wigan had their other 3 defenders going after their strikers with an equally roughhouse approach, 4v3 meant Wigan were able to deal with Norwich's attack to an extent although they don't keep a clean sheet. Tettey sitting on the CAM doesn't do much as a free kick is given constantly, with Watson scoring from one of them.

Reasons
ful dominated the ga,e to win
Perfect away performance by Fulham today, who stifle the QPR attack which is dangerous, and take advantage of a weak QPR back line by dominating the possession and creating chances. QPR do pose a good attacking threat, but more is needed at the back if they're going to compete with the likes of Fulham
I’m liking both teams line-ups today. I reckon the game is won on a mistake and that comes from Fulham. For me Fulhams back four needs improving and with the likes of Sinclair, Ramirez, Michu and Remy coming at them I don’t think it will be long before the deadlock is broken.
No question both sides look a real threat goign forward creating an end-to-end contest. QPR look shocking at the back with
Fulham making easy work of them, however QPR look strong in midfield with the player to take their chances. Cracking game
with neither side able to pull away throughout 90 mins.
Two teams that are poor at the back but excellent defensively; Fulham took advantage of QPR's lack of preparation and dominated the game.
QPR didn't plan for Fulham and it cost them, while they put up a fight and caused Fulham problems, Fulham were able to negate their threat well. Fulham's attack is limited though as Adriano struggles to make an impact and Emmanuelson isn't a natural winger.

Reasons
Benteke scores late to win the game
Whilst Reading show great adventure in the game, I think Villa have set up really well to deal with it. Not a fan of Marveaux out wide, feel he'd be better used in a CAM role. Villa have great attacking power, and they nick the game late on.
Brave performance from Reading who attacked Villa but in the end couldn't quite get themselves a point. They could do with a creative midfielder, a centre back and a goalkeeper.
Another close game like the last, for me Villa have that little bit extra in their team and they’re well drilled. Hence a close score-line. I think Hernandez would be best suited out on the wing rather than playing behind the striker, but that may comes down to personal preference.
Villa are by far the most potent attacking threat in the league, and Reading weren't prepared for what hit them. They have a good team going forward, but unfortunately for them, they never got the chance to. Villa controlled the game from start to finish, and bagged themselves another three points.
The attacking threat is just too much for Reading

Reasons
whu missing carroll was key to them which solton take advatage off to win with goals from rodz
A pretty good win for Southampton here. They deal with the threat of West Ham well, with the 3 CB's negating Austin, meaning the Hammers find it hard to get out. Despite having a good defensive shape, West Ham can't keep the Saints at bay for too long, and in the end Saints win by a good margin.
Interesting tactics from Southampton who had a lot of pace in their attack. West Ham's deep line was the right thing to do but West Ham lacked cutting edge, especially against the five Southampton defenders.
Both teams are set out well, this game will be played mainly in the middle of the park and each team cancels each other out. Maybe getting the odd chance which both teams take one each.
Just feel West Ham look a little blunt with attacking options. Austin for me doesn't work well up top on his own meaning
a limited servive being frustrated. Soton's FB's causing problems with Lambert hitting a bullet header for the victory.
An interesting game this one, I liked Southampton's shape but they were bossed in the middle by the three West Ham CMs, who used all their experience to cut through the Southampton back line.
Southampton do well to predict West Ham's gameplan and it works well. A narrow game in the end but nicked by a late Lambert strike.
- Stoke v West Brom:

0-1
Reasons
A pretty tight affair this one, despite Stoke pressing during the game, I feel West Brom have a solid back four, with Yacob protecting. However I don't think West Brom will have enough going forward to break the Stoke backline either, so a draw for me.
Stoke look solid but need some creativity in their side and need to improve their full backs. West Brom are well set up, again a solid side needing a bit of creativity.
Stoke are starting to look a real threat. Look a little shy going forward with one striker playing being the other. WBA
look a real force on the break with Brunt & Ince breaking on the counter with Lukaku netting.
West Brom came in with a good game plan, and with the excellent Lukaku up front, they carried off the win against a Stoke team that could do with better FBs to cope with wingers like Albion's. Congrats to Russ on a first win as Albion manager
WBA get the 3 points after a hard fought game
Stoke's frontline is poor and does nothing to harm West Brom. And while the Stoke plan to stop Lukaku works, Tom Ince is the difference as he scores the winner.

Reasons
sunderland get a late win in the final moments of the game
Better set up from Swansea this week, but again I don't feel they carry enough attacking threat with just Holt up front by himself (he plays better in a two up top). Sunderland are a good attacking unit, only helped by the inclusion of McShane in the Swans team. Good win for the home side here
Swansea made the stupid move of playing an injured player, and De Guzman would be better in the centre. They need to do better. Sunderland look strong.
Swansea will miss the presence of Samba in their defence today. I think that is the tipping point for the game today. Though with Bazinga out injured it’s a blessing in disguise! Tomkins comes in and does a wonderful job but it’s just not enough. Sunderland to win it for me.
Swansea still look a little all over the place. Mcshane & Tomkins should swap positions and De Guzman
is more effective in the middle. Easy pickings for Sunderland who ooze quaility.
playing with 10 men doesn't help and costs them the game
Swansea play a much better and more balanced side, but manage to play an injured player (obviously unintentionally as he listed some injuries) in N'Zogbia which makes the game tough for them with only 10 men on the pitch. Greedy Grant Holt still gives them the lead as Gallas loses his man from a corner, but Sunderland fight back and turn the game around with two quick goals.
CF and Liam lose a goal for not voting

To be fair Bull, Russ has a very good Albion side, it would be right at the top with proper management this season.

Haha, #3.0
Obviously you do care Bull, but don't take it to heart. Look at the feedback and make some changes, it's what I do when I get negative feedback. Turn that frown upside down

For £1m, yes. He'll get you better votes than Cameron Jerome would. But it might not make that much difference, Iaquinta would need to get into some decent form IRL for him to make a big mark (same as all signings really). Good buy though.

I'll be honest, I hate losing. Really badly. Especially if I've made efforts to improve my team. But I'd rather die than show you lot how upset I am, so I tough it out on screen and cry in my office instead.
