Managerless Göztepe secured their second win of the season with an 82nd minute pen. Their opponents Altinordu had been reduced to 10 men shortly after half time.

Moussa is a developing player. If you look back at posts two years ago people said a major weakness was coming back on the right wing to join in with defensive actions. At 24 he proved a more than capable at LB in the Premier League. Getting a new contract signed is good for the club, for team morale, and for tactical options with a 9 man bench. When the 3 years is up, he's 27 and there's still a lot of value left in him.

Unsurprising sacking given the lack of Goals. (Played 5 Won 1 Drawn 2 Lost 2 Conceded 4 Scored 3) Former Fenerbache Goalie Volkan Demirel looks to be incoming as a replacement Manager cant find any sniffs on further extending Sport Republic Stories coming out of Valencienne last month suggested acquisition wasnt likely .

Wolves conceded 43 in the whole of last season, they've only conceded 4 in the first six games, It was always going to be about the odd goal. That being said Lavia was a big miss (thankfully theres an international break coming) and we need to work out who is best there for Brentford and Villa. The one HUGE difference between B team games and PL games is the amount of times you only have 3-4 days between. We need to make sure our young lads get their fitness up.

Has Stuart got competition on the hair front?

a 9/10 and a little intrigued that Romeu's Departure and Lis' Loan move were both to City Football Group clubs,

5 games in. 7 points picked up from losing positions.

These things are always so convoluted that the seller will be able to say €50mil and the Buyer €40mil and both will be right. (See Rangers unwilling to accept less that £10mil for Aribo)

having those numbers out in public puts a lot of pressure on Saints. any other players in the works will have their price inflated. It needs to be shot down, or finalised ASAP.

Game 1: XXXX Game 2: XX Game 3: X Game 4: X So not to forget, so far this season we've conceded 2 since starting with 4 at the back.

Chelsea have had a very slow start. We've got a very good chance in this one. If we don't utilize our squad depth in this one by starting a fresh Mara, S. Armstrong and Peraud we'll be very foolish.

I could swear we drew 2-2 all with a team that whipped Chelsea 3-0 this weekend too what's the reason for that one? Leeds players given a overdose of Yorkshire Tea on the flight down?

You've created a thread about relegation before Gameweek Three has finished. I would argue you've lost your "glass half full supporter" status down the back of the sofa.

Göztepe are a second division team. The first thing the Sport Republic team have to do is get them promoted. Then it's all about both teams complimenting each other. Potentially Göz being a place for players to gain the points to play in the UK, or for players on our fringes to gain valuable experience. Our for coaches to gain experience There will be influences both ways.

I think this is a safe assumption. Thomas Frank was Dean Smith's assistant for two years before he was promoted to manager at Brentford. (Ankersen went to Brentford in 2015. Thomas Frank appointed assistant Dec 2016, 12 months after Smith's Tenure began. Frank becomes manager 2018)

B team have a match against Norwich on Friday to consider too, but i reckon something along the lines of... McCarthy Valery Bednarek Lyanco Vokins Romeu Diallo Walcott Redmond A Armstrong Ballard

just a heads up to anyone commenting on Göztepe on twitter. the umlaut is quite important to their fans... Benjy Nurick of the Echo go a few comments like this after spelling it wrong, and its not common knowledge abroad that British keyboards don't have accents

Ralph said as much in his interview with Blackmore after the game. There was a slight formation change after that with Aribo going Central.

Last season we gained 9 points in the whole season in games we fell behind in. We've got 4 points already from losing positions. If that's the change these new signings bring then "Viva La Sport Republic".

Brave but correct selection. They're going to be attempting to get at Djenepo. How we do is going to be based on keeping position in their half. Could be a high scoring game.
