Holy shit.

ABK is immense.

Djenepo did well to get the tackle in but needed to be stronger to come away with the ball.

Lavia got the ball there.

If there was a strike greenlit and I could choose, it'd be fratton park getting blown to smithereens.

Only watched Sunderland's and currently watching Arsenal's and Wrexham's, enjoying both of them. Not interested in the slightest in City, Spurs or Juventus.

Advertising him as they think he should be at United then. Happy with our team, but not with theirs. Was hoping they'd get complacent and stick Ronaldo and Maguire back in.

Forget Ramos, is that an article about fucking Jason St Juste on the right!?!?

I don't get good feelings about that Ramos one. I think he'd end up being a flop.

What's the consensus then, is he definitely going? Weird that he was a firm favourite and nigh unstoppable for so long under Ralph and now he can't get in the squad to save his life.

Newport, Crawley and Gillingham have a good shout I reckon.

I think have the build up and match thread be the same, but do a new one for post match reaction. That way anyone just wanting to read the reactions and ratings doesn't have to search through pages of us morons going "w00t" and raging at Ralph before going mental and loving him again.

What I liked was seeing how much of a popular figure he clearly was with the rest of the squad, they all looked absolutely made up for him, Djenepo in particular. Even though it's his first appearance it really feels like he's one of the group already. It would have been great for the other youth players to see as well, something to strive for. Do we have room on the bench for Ballard in league games? I guess we must do, if Walcott was on the bench for Leicester.

4 goals in 4 games for Che so far. On course for a 40+ goal season depending how far we go in the cups.

Is there really no streams at all?

Just got in, I swear if he starts Adams tonight and not on Saturday...

Early kick off on a Saturday with most people backing United...they do say never bet on an early kick off in your acca!

Oh no, really? 😂 They don't honestly think we still care do they?

Not fussed about giving Stephens game time, he's going to be a liability no matter what. Might as well give Simeu a go.

It'll be interesting what the media and pundits all say if after 10 games the bottom four are West Ham, Everton, Leicester and United. I bet they don't say they're in a relegation fight.

This is shaping up to be such a quality season.

I think the quality of midtable sides has improved a lot this season.

Rob Holding is one that would be available and would be an improvement on Bednarek, although if we're sticking with 4 at the back then he probably wouldn't come here unless he's displacing one of Salisu or ABK. Can't think of a dozen from the Prem but experience doesn't necessarily mean Premier League experience.

Unless the loan deal covers all his wages and includes £2million as a loan fee, with an obligation to buy for £10million next summer. All of a sudden you're talking about £15million in transfer fee and saved wages which we know we're getting so can spend this summer if needs be.

Indeed, he's got 35 games now to score more than 6 and improve upon last seasons tally. If he keeps his confidence up - and Ralph actually keeps picking him - I can see him getting 15, which despite what people think is a very, very good tally for a striker in a team outside the top 6. It's good even for some top 6 teams.
