Not a chance he gets on that pitch in red boots while Jimmy Martin was kitman.


Sort it out Sagey!!!!

Harrison done OK, looks tidy and always with an eye on moving forward

I kind of think hes been the weakest link. Hes almost always passed it back today, taken the real heat out of possession and slowed things down. A couple opportunities going forward and hes messed them both up. Hes showing theres a big gap between him and our other midfielders.

The boots are orange, not red haha. Does look a bit awkward though admittedly.

Red or orange, @davek will be fuming.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

It’s not red it’s burnt orange

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Garner quietly gone about his business again. Just got it and popped it off nicely. Dont mind that when Grealish, Charly etc are floating around everywhere.

 

[Toffeeslam]

Red or orange, @davek will be fuming.

Well he is an orange so not sure he has legs to stand on

 

[Chegsy]

Looked like that was heading in.

 

[when i score we riot]

We’ve been abysmal in the final 3rd. Decision making has been grim, hopefully get it all out of our system ahead of future games.

It looks like it's firmly embedded in our system, unfortunately.

But to our credit the defence has had it relatively easy, and the midfield been mostly bossing it.

Crowded at times and a lot of opportunities on the break which we have messed up

 

[HTCHERO]

He did absolutely nothing wrong. Only one muppet here

He didn't do much right kid.

Let's be fair, great is a massive exaggeration, but again saw nice touches.

Not really. I think he had a great game. Looked lively, great touches and lay offs, involved again with a key pass in the goal. And should have had a goal if Armstrong made the right choice.

You will realise how much of a dream Barry's touches were while watching Beto for the next 30 minutes

 

[Rich1878]

Going in, that

 

[lieneverton]

Good block. Travers was very worried.

 

[joebocop]

McNeil. You are driving me mad

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Some nice touches from Barry, early days I know but I just haven’t seen anything yet that makes me go “yeah, this lads got it” as I say, early days and he’ll need time to settle.

 

[matty1878]

was a good block
