Sheaf Saint

Nah, the Watford player clearly held Baz and stopped him from coming for the ball. He tried to make it look innocent, but it was clearly intentional.

That's our best half we've played so far. The formation doesn't seem to be hurting us today and there's been some really good individual performances. Archer looks like a different player now he's got his confidence back. Fraser and Robinson working really hard and putting them on the back foot. Roerslev has really impressed me at RB. What an upgrade on Sugawara. Azaz hasn't got on the ball as much as I would have liked so far, but not a bad debut by any means. How refreshing it is to see Saints dominating a game. Feels like so long since I've seen us playing confident, fast paced attacking football.

Our 3 at the back very nearly caught on the break there.

Poor challenge from Wood. Totally unnecessary.

ARCHER!

Ooh close from Robinson. Good save.

Danny Ings on for Sheff Utd now.

Matt Targett providing the assist for Boro's goal.

Indeed. Quite how the ref decided that Peck's challenge in the Boro v Sheff Utd game earlier was only worth a yellow is beyond me.

Yep. That was never even a foul, let alone a clear and obvious error.

Well I think we can discount Sheff Utd as title contenders this season. They look fucking awful against Boro. So open at the back, and posing no attacking threat whatsoever.

I wouldn't be so quick to if I were you. Once again, Whitey has demonstrated that he doesn't actually understand how PSxG is calculated, despite having had it explained to him on numerous occasions. This statement, for example, is absolutely untrue:

Nasty challenge that. He'll argue that he got the ball, but the follow through was a potential ankle-breaker. The pundits are blowing sunshine up Leicester's arse, but Birmingham put them under plenty of pressure and it was their lack of quality rather than great defending that kept them out.

Probably knows from his time there as a player that he's far more likely to get his heed kicked in if he tries gaslighting the fans in the way he did with us.

True, but I think the point being made was that we may not have the squad space to bring in someone else before Monday's deadline if we can't be certain of a deal for Aribo.

I thought a deal for Edozie was all but wrapped up weeks ago. Wonder what happened there then?

Well, he may have been a bit over-confrontational in the way he worded it, but @Pwoite was absolutely right. Some of the bed wetting, particularly on the George Young thread, looks hilariously premature after today's announcements. Some very large slices of humble pie in order, it would appear.

Hulkenberg was tenth fastest in today's practice session. So it's quick, but it's not Jonno Quick.

Wasn't it the WBA manager?

No doubt they'll just find some tenuous way to blame it on Kier Starmer.

We still need to shrink the bloated squad though. So although on the face of it Fellows is a direct replacement for Dibling, we would still have too many players on the books.

We didn't play Leeds last season, so I doubt it.

And so say all of us.
