If we can start well tonight I'd be confident of getting a point. We can't afford to do our usual 'not turn up until the 2nd half' routine.

Except that this season we usually start games quite well. It’s the second half we tend not to turn up to !

I honestly think we play as well as Franco's on the pitch. He's become so important so quickly, partially for how good he is, partially for how much better he makes Grimes.

Franco has definitely added to our defensive resilience, but he's yet to show much going forwards. Allen off the bench still has an important role to play. His performance on Sunday was a lot better than people give him credit for.

 

[WentToSchoolWith]

Also, a touch off-topic, but I think if we keep playing the way we have been, we'll be in for some batterings AND we'll batter some teams this season. Vig's can't keep bailing us out at his current rate of basically a goal per game, but similarly, we'll have games where we make our pressure count and score 2/3 in quick succession.

Fulton in, Franco benched, dear god...

 

[Swanjaxs]

No striker either...

Thought there’d be some squad rotation, but that could be painful to watch

It's as if Williams has written this one off and is concentrating on Stoke.

Williams trying to use his squad as best as he can.
Think he is making a point up top

Hopefully it works tonight, not holding much hope but fingers crossed.

 

[WentToSchoolWith]

Peart-Harris has looked quite handy but he's never played up front in his career. Why have we decided to throw him up there?

Vipotnik looked good enough to start again imo, but aware we've another game on Saturday

 

[Magic_Michu]

I think I may give tonight a miss

 

[Swanjaxs]

I witnessed one hiding last night please let there not be another one tonight
I've got to work a night shift afterwards ffs ...
