We were already shit at crossing, impressed to see that we're even worse today (admittedly playing in a hurricane)

Was Abdulai a midfielder in the youth teams?

Pato is having a stinker

Yeah that’s his main position I believe.

Pato is having a stinker

He’s been off it past few weeks

Yes, Tymon is arguably our best crosser and he's gone off. Doesn't leave much tbh

You can be a striker who scores lots of goals but doesn’t get involved in the build up, that’s fine. You can also be a striker who doesn’t score a lot of goals but works well as a foil for the team, bringing others into play and creating chances for them. Yates manages to do neither of them which is quite impressive in its own way. Would much rather we tried Lowe up front for the last few games rather than having him stuck out on the wing.

The main thing about Fulton is that he keeps Patino on the bench. I mean, we wouldn't want someone in there who could actually thread a pass through and get us going would we?

I wonder if Arsenal are right fecked off with us? I would be. Surely the point of a loan is to get game time, not just be part of a a match day squad. He could do that at Arsenal now there's 7 on the bench.

Or maybe he’s not actually that good and not ready for championship football?

3 managers in a row now have deemed him not worthy of a starting place

Centre half in Scotland iirc, came to us on trial as a defensive mid. Didn't play full back until seniors here.

0-1 1-0 sorry

 

[Magic_Michu]

1-0 down - game over

 

[K23]

Dear me, what an absolute shambles of a goal FFS

 

[CygnusX1]

Not sure what Wood was doing there.

 

[Magic_Michu]

Awful defending… atrocious

How are they letting him get a shot off there!?

 

[ABSwan]

1 down, there you go

 

[Nocountryforoldjack]

Yay a goal
