I think I would have preferred AMN to Diallo but otherwise decent team. Makes sense to go 3 at the back with no recognised right back.

Has Tino had a set back?

Both teams playing out for a 0-0. How boring.

Lavia back for this one? I'm starting to forget what he looks like.

Stopped paying him any attention years ago. I don't think he watches most of the games he has opinions on. Accuracy isn't a basis of his reporting.

I can see why we're looking at the South American market given when their season's end, it's easier to negotiate. I don't know anything about Matheus Martins but if he's been playing at Brazillian youth level and getting first team appearances for Fluminense, he must be well regarded. He'll be a raw talent, probably not yet suited to Premier League football but I wonder if we're getting him because we're promising first team football.

Last half an hour was much more fluid and at a better tempo. I think Lyanco's attitude really rubs off on his team mates, he put in a great performance. MOTM goes to the Pigeon. Held his position well on the left wing.

Looks like Villa are seeing the benefit of sacking Gerrard. 3-0 up at HT.

I hope so. Tight hamstrings can be exacerbated by the slightest thing. Going for sprints, changing direction or recieving a hard challenge can turn it into a 6 week+ lay-off. Hopefully it's one of those special tight hamstrings that lets you do those things with minimal risk 👍

There's no way we should be bringing him on today then. It's not worth the risk, he's our only centre forward. It's a dead space on the bench that could have gone to Ballard.

Why does Adams always get dropped after a good performance? He must be carrying a knock. It's the only excuse.

I would be very happy with Ben Brereton Diaz. He's continued his good form from last season and is currently joint top scorer in the Championship. I think he has the physical attributes to make the step up.

What a shit victory 😂

That's the kind of manager we have.

When was the last time we went two goals ahead?

This ref is useless.

We're not playing well at all.

Last time I brought this up we kept a clean sheet in our very next league game so I'm reviving it in the hope lightning strikes twice. Our defense has recieved so much investment but we've ended having a worse defensive start than last season. I think this teams inability to hold onto the ball is a major factor. We've resorted to bypassing the lines up to an ineffective Che Adams and we've stopped pressing the opposition allowing them to pile pressure onto an inexperienced team.

Anyone else finding Blackmore obnoxious right now?

That's tragic 😂

It's not been a good year for this club.

A beneficial experience for them I hope.
