What a great result, so so needed and results around us were kind as well. Most importantly for everyone, Mrs AFKA got to see a win on her birthday :-)

Grateful for the views of those there.

It's a funny old game

Good result, we are still in the bottom three but we're only 6 points behind 14th.

Will be good to hear how we played. Particularly interested in how Diarra played in midfield, what THD was like out of position at right back and whether Reza was as lively as his goal suggests.

Great following the game in a hotel room in Barcelona , getting updates from @I_Saw_Semedo_Score and following the match thread and Twitter. Get in the boys, great win . #rolandout

We looked a completely different side to the mk Dons game!really battled and played some nice stuff as a whole team!

Even fox who I thought was terrible again today technically didn't stop battling!

Great result! COYR

REZAAAAAAAAAA!!

Diarra in midfield was the difference. Ran the show. Impressed with THD at right back. Ba much better and nice to see JBG getting some form back. Shame Sarr slipped for the goal as other than that I thought he was excellent.

Nice to see two strikers scoring as well.

That table just shows how bad the losses against Preston, Huddersfield and MK dons and the draw v Rotherham were. Can't knock the squad for today, much needed and much deserved 3 points.

Would be interesting to know peoples thoughts on how/if Cousins gets back in after that midfield performance.

We pressed we moved into space we passed it we attacked and we scored 3 - should have been 5 if Big Mak had shot rather than laid it off late on.
Diarra immense but all 11 on pitch put in a shift today

Wednesday always promise much and fail to deliver

Happy with the result, and sounds like a great performance. I still want KF and KM away from our club.

In the meantime, I'm gonna celebrate tonight . Live for the moment.

Jason Euell's Red and White Army...

Massive improvement today. Whoever made Reza give a shit deserves a lot of credit. Great, committed, performance from him, topped by a deserved goal.

Ba and Sarr looked like different players in the first half, then the same as usual in the second half.

Diarra was the real difference today. He won everything in the middle and gave Ba, Reza and JBG the confidence to bring the ball forward. Makienok made a few mistakes but led the line well and finished off a good team goal.

Would have been a comfortable 3 nil but for Sarr's error. Wednesday were poor and rarely threatened so I'm not getting too excited about "turning the corner" just yet.

First time I've seen us play since palace. Very surprised I was expecting us to get hammered, found myself laughing at 3-0 in disbelief! First half was brilliant we battled so well, chased everything. Captain marvel coming up with the goal, brilliant as ever, the bloke never fails to amaze me with his commitment to the cause. Makinok, JBG and reza were brilliant first half so was the defence. Diarra ran the show as mentioned above, what a difference he makes playing in his preferred position. The other two goals were really good I thought. Disappointed for Saar that was a terrible error looked a bit shaky after that. Oh well it didn't prove too costly. THD did well filling in at RB despite being very left footed! Also lookman looked lively!

Diarra my MOTM

Jason Euells red and white army!

Lots of pressing in midfield. Even Reza was at it. Thought THD looked good, but one-footed. Great result.

Just noticed, no Wiggins in 18 for Weds, injured again?

Lincsaddick

damn it .. I had a tenner on 2-1 .. BUT .. what a start to the comeback .. I was not there but I'll warrant that BigMak played a BIG part and that Diarra was a calmer influence in the midfield than a totally out of form Cousins .. I am SOOO pleased with this terrific win .. and now on to Brum and a needed away win

Excellent display against an average Wednesday side and crap referee

Thought Back and Sarr played well above their recent form. As said previously a shame about Sarr two slips one of which led to goal. Concerned that Solly maybe out for a while but with the team playing like this it.maybe the best way back for Cousins. However Tarq played really well.

Great result. . Great return to form

Where was Solly ?

Bizarre, strange old game.

Top performances all over the pitch.

Ba, Diarra and Jacko in the middle were absolutely class. Diarra especially, his first half was the best individual performance I've seen since Watt v Huddersfield.

Special mention to THD who, playing in a foreign position, kept a tidy player in Barry Bannan quiet.

It looks like we've got a real player on our hands with Lookman. Excellent direct running.

Great game, it was like watching a different team.

Say what you like about Reza in the past, that was a very committed performance from him. There was one point where he busted a nut to get back to get back to stop a short corner. Good to see him bag a goal as well.

Sarr and Bauer looked good at the back although Sard made a big error for their goal which is a shame. Other than that though, it was Sarr's best game.

Nice to see Makienok's flick ons and hold up play finding our men, be made a real impact.

The midfield diamond worked really nicely and we looked much more threatening. I was worried that we were being naive and would be torn apart through the middle with that formation but such was the exceptional midfield performance, we were fine.

A really enjoyable game.

Football, eh?

Blimey! Get a bit too excited did he?

Leuth

I only saw the second half which means that I still haven't seen us win at home after missing the first two games and seeing a 1-1 draw today

...but it was all worth it for THD injuring their winger with skill alone

Valiantphil

Well done lads, and a special well done to Jacko of course.

Belgians out !

Great result, well done to the lads they put a shift in today, wasn't flawless but a bit of effort pays off

Thank you

This is what happens when the players put in a shift, stop telling the supporters to get behind them, and like today, do the business on the pitch and we will
