Downes and Manning were Russell Martin signings. Not sure Wilcox gets the credit for those.

I feel sorry for anyone that actually has to listen to the game on solent, because they can’t have much of an idea of what’s happening on the pitch. He is terrible.

He was the most fouled player in the league last year so he can’t use that excuse. He’s been average at best this season. He rarely runs at anyone or takes his man on any more. I can tolerate him not tracking back if we see that player that was a joy to watch last season.

Peretz you are godlike.

Setting of the bubbles when you’re losing

Call it Zterep, she’ll never know.

He keeps the ball well though and we’re not exactly looking for goals here are we.

Why on earth would we take Azaz out of the 10 if we don’t have to? He is outstanding there today.

Get in!!!

You know our right back scored today?

I think his fall off started in March or April time to be honest.

It’s time to have a discussion about Scienza because he’s not having a great season

They can’t press us like this for the rest of the game

there it is

West Ham pressing us now, we need to calm down and deal with it

Just let it go out Manning ffs

As can we…

Might be the last time a team gave Azaz this much freedom too. He is absolutely bossing this game, best player on the pitch by a mile so far.

Fuck me sideways

Azaz is having a field day with all this space they’re giving him

Fucking get in

We don’t play with that same freedom that we did last season yet. The players have all vocalised that they haven’t hit their peak, and we can all see it. There’s a lot of hesitation in the final third and we really rely on those defence splitting balls from deep. Boro impose themselves on the opposition similarly to how we did last season.

We’re not getting top 2 without it so wish away. although I will say, if you’re not winning the league then Wembley is the next best thing.

It’s easier to look fluid when you’ve got the confidence that the chances you create will be put away. They created a ridiculous amount of chances under Hellberg last season they just couldn’t score enough of them. Look at that first leg as a prime example. EDIT: If they had Lankshear last year the EFL wouldn’t have needed to kick us out of the playoffs.

Was fairly obvious if they signed a keeper and striker they were going to be right up there. We need to up our levels, but luckily we play them twice and we need to get revenge.
