    Jon Hitching:, external Every team needs to win ugly sometime, even if it's really, really, really, really ugly.

    Nick Southwell:, external A potential banana skin avoided. Not the greatest of games but nine points from nine. We definitely shouldn't be complaining.

    Gary Miles:, external The tip of the diamond is blunt and pointless. A diamond formation is OK but Rooney is a problem...

    Big news from Spain where goalkeeper Iker Casillas has been dropped after a list of high-profile errors. Manchester United's David de Gea is in nets for the national side.

    Will Binks: Bobby Charlton played in a World Cup winning team, whereas Rooney has had to play alongside the likes of Stewart Downing and Stephen Warnock, yet still kept up his scoring. England legend.

    Kane in Shrewsbury: So much negativity. Potential three wins from three. Spain, Germany, Portugal etc would love that. Wish the unpatriotic moaners would give it a rest.

    England are on top of Group E with maximum points from three games. Switzerland, by the way, next play San Marino away on Tuesday night.

    Shaun Robinson:, external A win's a win and maximum points from three games. Can't ask for much more really.

    Jake Seabrook:, external I thought Calum Chambers struggled today to be honest. Pretty boring game overall.

    Ian Cantrill:, external Should score more Rooney today but he done his job and scored the winner! Three wins out of three. Four wins in a row for the first time in five years.

  7. What's next?published at 19:15 British Summer Time 12 October 2014

    Bored by those last two games? Well there are two more games coming up for England next month.

    First is a qualifier against Slovenia on Saturday 15 November before a friendly with Scotland on Tuesday 18 November. That should at least be fiery...

    "Wayne Rooney is still a very high-quality player. He may be lacking confidence, but tonight when his moment came he scored. And with Daniel Sturridge not there, you have to rely on Rooney to score your goals."

  9. Manager reactionpublished at 19:14 British Summer Time 12 October 2014

    England manager Roy Hodgson: "It was hard work. We played well in the first half without taking our chances and that meant that there was an air of frustration setting in. Everyone was aware that when you have played well you have to take at least one chance. Luckily we did that in the second half and it's four wins in a row which is not to be sniffed at.

    "We were going to put Rickie Lambert on but we were discussing which player would come off. It was more likely to be Danny Welbeck. It was a good free-kick from Wayne but it was a frustrating night for him. He scored the winner and we go away with three more points.

    "We realise that Estonia will cause other teams problems here."

    "The final ball wasn't good enough. Is Wayne Rooney still our best player, and why is it we seem to struggle against these so-called lesser nations?

    "As far as Raheem Sterling, I'd want to play every international game I could at this stage. I don't really believe a player his age will have gone to the manager and old him he's tired. Has there been influence from elsewhere? The club manager, for example? Who knows."

    Goals from midfield is an issue for England now. James Milner has one, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain three and Andros Townsend two. That's it from the midfielders in the current squad.

    Richard Priseman:, external Why are people still slating Rooney? He won us the game!

    Scott Kelly:, external Too reliant on Rooney, I think. With Gerrard and Lampard gone we need to ease pressure on him and goals need to come from elsewhere.

    Rob Gore:, external Results only mean so much against these teams. It's the performances which worry, with bigger teams awaiting in France.

    The enigma that is Wayne Rooney continues to divide England supporters it seems. He looks almost certain to break Sir Bobby Charlton's goalscoring record now, but would he get into an all-time England team?

    England captain Wayne Rooney: "We knew that's how the game would go. We know they are tough games with men behind the ball and it's tough to break them down. It's a good win. For the goal, it was close in so I was focussing on getting it over the wall.

    "I've shown over the years I'm always capable of scoring goals. The keeper made a good save at the end from me. We are playing well, the pleasing thing is that we have a young team and we hung in there."

    Tom Alex Dodd:, external Nine points from nine, and the country simply complains. Yep, only in England.

    G Alex:, external As much as people say Rooney isn't world-class, he is still still our best player by miles. Wilshere is the next best.

    Matt Smith:, external I can't say England are playing amazingly, but they're getting the results!

    "It took something special from their captain to make sure England got the three points. Estonia displayed much more quality than San Marino, and it was England's perseverance that won the day.

    "England will learn for this - not the best performance of all time and they had to work really hard to get the win. They've had three wins in this group now and they haven't conceded a goal."

    It wasn't pretty, in fact it was pretty boring for most of the game. But Roy Hodgson will take a win and move on. I'm sure of that.

    Nine points from nine. Job done.

    "Rooney should probably have taken that effort earlier and just smashed it. That would have been game, set and match."
