Absolutely spot on

Yeah - nasty knee injury. They're not expecting him back until the last few weeks of the season, at best.

Liam Delap. How much were we trying to pay for him - was it £20m?

Very poor holding-up-your-new-team’s-scarf-for-your-unveiling-photoshoot technique. Davis out

Fantastic result in a very tough fixture on paper. Perfect away performance. Excellent performances all over the pitch but Stuey and Smallbone both particularly good. Love it.

I’m going to go ahead and say ‘yes’

25 easy games. More than half the season Jesus christ 🤦‍♂️

What makes even less sense in this regard is that so many of the rules/ processes that are already in place are such a mess. Handball, offside, VAR - they’re all a shitshow and have been for ages. Managers and players are saying they don’t understand them and are begging for them to be simplified or made more consistent. How about sorting those out before bringing in even more stuff to fuck up?

No offence mate but being a professional goalkeeper, spending every day of your working life doing nothing but goalkeeping and getting paid tens of thousands of pounds a week to do it isn't quite the same as being a punter taking a spell in nets in the Lymington and District Sunday league. The ball being hit reasonably hard, taking a bounce and moving around slightly shouldn't be some wildly unexpected scenario for a professional (international) goalkeeper.

Great comeback and spirit shown yesterday. Always felt we were still in it, even at two down, but it needed something special from Rothwell to light the touchpaper. As soon as that absolute twatter hit the top corner the momentum shifted. But what a game. However, the prospect of playing away at Anfield without Downes, even if it's against their slightly less than first XI, is... unnerving. Really hope it's not so bad and he's back for that one.

When you hear ‘Will Inspector Sands report to the Operations Room’ (or wherever) over the tannoy*, it’s the common code for a fire having been reported in that location. The follow-up announcement ‘Inspector Sands has left the building’ means the alert is over. So while I don’t want to alarm you, it probably means the stadium’s on fire. https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/inspector-sands-and-why-the-london-underground-keeps-asking-for-him-50951/ (*It’s actually public address system Lynn… Tannoy is a brand name)

I think I’ve spotted the slight issue with this plan

Rotherham won't know what's hit them

Off you go then, let’s hear your original composition in E minor

When Edozie and Sulemana are fit again too that’s a ridiculous set of options at this level

Absolute class from Stu

Fuck knows what Mara is

Holgate and Mara having a thrilling personal duel to see who can look the least like a professional footballer

Absolutely all over the place, all over the pitch, from the keeper to the centre forward. Going out with a whimper at this rate.

The keeper left that. That’s insanely poor.

Is Hoedt normally their captain? Can't think of any player less well-suited.

Have you tried here? Might be worth a go https://gprivate.com/6946c

Not sure tbh… I just remember playing against him when he played for BRSA in the Tyro league and being in awe of how good he was when we were 13!

I'll see your Christer Warren and raise you: https://www.bdfutbol.com/en/j/j99378.html
