Vesti playing as quarterback.

Strong side that, and decent options from the bench. Would be nice to see N'Lundulu get some minutes - guessing Obafemi & Long just aren't doing it in training now. Hopefully we can be comfortable come the last 10 minutes and give Salisu a taste of PL football.

Until Danny publically refers to Ralph as 'The Master' then for me he's no Carillo.

Hopeful. Except: it is Talksport!

Shit analysis: the ref lacks experience. But the pen awarded by VAR guy (doing his job), independent of the ref. Because the ref lacks experience.

A good point this. He clearly wasn't right, and yet our bench is so weak that we'd rather not replace him. Without decent investment, what can we really do about it?

Absolutely. We were poor today, and had zero options on the bench. Disappointing, but still a great start to the season.

Cock. On the plus side there's a bloke up in Glasgow who paid off his mortgage with the cheeky insurance bet.

And he was up about 3 second later.

Enjoying some of their comments about hoofing it being their best approach. What would Fergie say!?

We didn't seem to have the spark and speed of pass of the last few games. Maybe due to the break? Shame about the Walcott miss. Would've taken a point beforehand of course, so can't complain. We can't be annoyed at staying 5th, surely?!

We really need another.

Lee Todd. Delivered the same level of quality whichever side. #consistent

Presumably you've heard a whisper/ been given a nudge and a wink?

Precaution due to a tight hamstring it seems. And Jannik not travelled either - has this been confirmed? If so, good news for us. Pointless games. Use the time to get rid of the niggles, and continue to work on the training ground with the majority of the squad.

Good read that is - thanks for posting. Highlights just how much we have developed in the time since Puel. Puel.....MoPe....Hughes....and now the playing style we are enjoying. Quite a turnaround.

Bumped into our owner tonight in 888 Winchester. I was ordering Peking Duck, he was waiting for Wonton and Special Rice. He asked me to pass on a message to the true fans:

Adam Blackmore Tweeted Stephens at LB.

"We are delighted that he chose to sign for us. Unfortunately when he was being measured for his training kit we discovered that one of the toes on his left foot is in fact a life-sized clone of Jimmy Krankie. An investigation is underway to determine how our world-class team failed to notice this during his extensive medicals. Wee Jimmy KrankieToe is now undergoing intensive training on how to become a premier league quality appendage. We are pleased with his progress and expect Salisu and Jimmy to make their debut soon."

Walcott upfront surely, with Redmond back in. There were some questionmarks over his defensive work, so that issue goes away too. Looking forward to this game. I can't remember ever seeing us play on a Friday night before...... 😫

I think there were reports that he had dropped his asking price as a result of Covid? Surely we are more attractive than a Championship club? Or is Gao still after too much.

Cheeky insurance bet, anyone?

Looks like we're really keeping the pressure on too. Good. Let's get 9.

Holy shit.

World class free kick. Fantastic.
