Didn't realise that Hull were in 6th place. They have looked extremely ordinary today

which makes this outing all the more optimistic - to take the game to 6th placed big spenders shows balls

edit -learning the lessons from being chucked in the deep end - and I know we've been on the grass far more than we'd normally be (training) - and it's showing so far fair play

Good lord... Wood managed to keep an offside line!
Now I have seen everything lol

Not sure why Norwich fans thought Placheca was so poor... he's looked dangerous and creative in both games for us so far. Decent signing.

Teams near us starting to crumble...

He was so so in the last game and started the same in this one but has been growing into it

He did against Plymouth too. He's been off it a bit lately by his standards.

 

[Mork]

Plenty to like there, see what a bit of pace can add!
Started to back off them towards the end of the first half, even the chuckle brothers at the back look reasonably assured...

Pace was always the key, A) because we never had anyone to pass to and B) as we posed no threat, the opposition were always happy to commit men forward and stay on the front foot.
It looks like it’s given the whole team a lift.

Pato's struggling to get into this game.

He has done a lot of pressing without being on the ball much. I think I heard the comms mention that he had 1 touch of the ball around the 30th minute or so

 

[bakajack]

Ronald's strength holding off players when he has the ball is quite impressive for a winger

He’s the only substitution I’d make atm for Allen

 

[LeonWasTheDogs]

Billy Sharp, eh. He must be close to drawing his pension.

 

[airedale]

Billy Sharp on then….

And happy to challenge for headers too

If they've just gone for a back 3, that should open even more space for Ronald and Pacheca out wide
