Poor 1st half yesterday (which is not a radical opinion) worse than Swansea for me.
Second half was much better. As others have said, Meite changed the game, he was direct, strong and willing to take on his man. The first miss was a shocker and the second one was a bit harder as he was under pressure from the defender, but I was pleased with his performance overall and he sparked the crowd into life.
Martinez is our best 'keeper since Marcus, just no question about it for me (although he could've done a bit better with the goal).
Miazga is oxf*rd class as well, confident, strong and good in the air.
And Nelson, boy oh boy, what can you say, what a class act. I thought the effort in the 1st half was in and as soon as he made the defender slip/stumble only one thing was happening. What a guy.
Overall excellent win and the confidence is growing. Saturday is a bit of a free-hit, Sheff Wed have the ability to beat Rotherham so you never know. A win last night certainly eases the pressure on Saturday and as long as we put in a decent performance to keep confidence levels high, I can't see any reason why we can't take 9 points from the 3 games following.
