Forster Cedric Fonte Virgil Bertrand Romeu Hojbjerg Davis Tadic Redmond Austin Subs: McCarthy, Martina/Targett, Yoshida, JWP/Clasie/Reed, Hesketh, Long, JRod

It occurred to me earlier that I don't recall Hesketh ever being called up by England at any level (from schoolboys through to U21s) and, true enough, it would appear he's been overlooked as a teenager. Anyone else think that's a bit odd given he's obviously got a lot of natural talent about him? (Yes, I know he's been injured in recent times but still...)

Next round: Home to Sunderland

Ssshhhh.... you'll annoy Fitzhugh Fella.... And now for an amusing gif...

3 wins. 3 clean sheets. Full squad utilised. Meltdown averted.

I'm off to read the threads from 2 weeks ago. Just for the giggles. P.s. anyone know why those that are first to post after a defeat are never anywhere to be seen when we're playing well? Yours rhetorically...

Man of the Match

Puel reckoned "4 weeks" at the start of Sept

Good to see the Puncheon song getting a run out

So, is that another meltdown averted for the season then...?

Hesketh!!! MotM

14,080 attendance

Looking at the replays, I can see why Long scuffed the sitter just before half time. As he goes around the keeper the ball slows up and by the time he shoots the ball is slightly under his feet rather than in front of him, so he's unable to get any power behind it. If he'd pushed the ball around the keeper slightly harder, or wasn't running quite so fast, the timing would have been more perfect for the shot. Fine margins.

Another great ball from Hesketh to Long there

Hesketh having a great game

Me? Sarcastic? Nah, can't see that ever happening...

I logged in at the same time and had no problem buying at 9:00 via the same session. Technology as inconsistent as ever!

So, c.600 sold in the first hour by the looks of it

That just worked for me (as opposed to just refreshing an existing browser session) Just checked purchase history and my 'ticket number' is 4502 (purchase time 9am)

As I understand it, if you've got non-member "purchase history" that will automatically be linked to your membership if you buy it retrospectively now.
