Looking forward early rather than backwards and sideways. Still catching me by surprise after the last couple of seasons

Well on top now. Need a second

Archer finally showing some muscle and hold up play. Been desperate for that from him

The firestick channel I found is Watford commentary and it’s interesting. They’re saying how good we are rotating and keeping possession, and that Watford are too sloppy and giving us too much respect. I haven’t seen it that way, think we’ve been pretty sloppy and vulnerable in behind. Better the last 10 mins though. No complaints about their ‘goal’

Robinson is class but goes down too easily looking for fouls

Nah he’s drifting around as a 10 for me? Tbf we seem to be rotating quite a bit and people popping up in different spots

Charles ending up on the right wing when we he’s the only CM isn’t great. Don’t think we’ll be keeping a clean sheet here

Hesgoal has been working again

Yep, bizarre that we’ve stuck to it all season despite WS thinks we don’t have the right personnel. We look shakey at the back every week. Decent opening

Harsh on Robinson who’s been class recently. Persisting with the back 3 🤨

VAR is a disgrace. Every week these referees are making the game about them, and taking all common sense and enjoyment out of the game.

We all knew that Matty is far too good for the Championship and would likely leave. Just a shame it’s for somewhere as shit as West Ham and their government funded library of a stadium/atheltics track. Hopefully he’ll get picked up by a decent European team next. He always gave 100% so wish him well

Yeah 100%, you listen to him and generally agree with all of it, and don’t feel like you’re being sold a load of old shit. A refreshing change.

Really can’t see how he comes back from this start. Fans hate him, players not playing for him, out of Europe and handed the league to Celtic after 4 games 😂

Comments on their lineup are unanimously furious with Martin for dropping Raskin and Tavanier. Maybe there’s a mutiny going on, don’t think he’ll last past the weekend when they’re out of Europe and get pumped by Celtic

7 points from 4 looks ok going into the derby. Anything less is a really poor start. We’ve gone behind in all the league games so far and have struggled to make an impact. Hopefully score first this time and control the game like we saw last night, after scoring

Was just thinking about this. Both experienced, sensible full backs who’d likely give you 7/10 most weeks. And frees up a an extra man in midfield which should give the back 4 more protection than we’ve been seeing

Can’t press, pass, run, shoot, control…

Yeah I’d be booing if my team was losing to us, I think we’ve been awful

Depends what position you’re talking about Smallbone playing in. A traffic cone is just as effective as a number 6

Yep, I’d say that was as Russell’s weirdest and shittest call tactically, and there is significant competition

We went far more attacking than I’d anticipated at Northampton and still managed to be completely toothless, so I’m guessing WS will go fairly strong again. Whatever it looks like though, he’s going to be really testing the patience of fans if he doesn’t ditch this stupid 5 at the back, unless it provides a much improved performance and result.

Time to ‘experiment’ with a back 4, and get minutes for some strikers who desperately need to find a goal and prove they can play regularly. Don’t really care if we lose, we can then focus on being shit in the league.
