He even admitted in a recent interview he was very emotional in the aftermath and needed a few days to calm down. He is clearly desperate to play in the Premier League and no doubt would've loved to do it with us. Anyway not really the topic of the thread.

I wasn't a fan of Tonda initially (like quite a few others) but he certainly won me round. He actually seemed to learn from mistakes he made earlier on in the season and clearly became very close with the players. You can't underestimate that. To say we didn't win or draw games because of the manager is up there with some of the biggest shite I've seen on this forum.

I reckon it was Scienza.

I'd certainly play a full strength side

There's a possibly Wilson Isidor might be available from Sunderland. That would a no brainer for us given his profile.

Tonda doesn't strike me as a "shouty type" during a match. I don't think a touchline ban would be much of a problem for us.

Yes Archer is a confidence player but Tonda also hasn't used him as a CF (for good reasons) which basically means we are left with Larin. Replacing Stewart is the urgent priority really. Imagine if Larin got injured in training before the first game. We'd be starting on -4 without a proper striker.

I think it's fairly obvious the club know the punishment.

Lots of ball watching going on for their first goal.

Only way that would happen is if Sugawara and Roerslev both leave. Sugawara is likely to go but can't see us getting rid of Roerslev.

Maybe you are analysing his touch around the keeper differently to me. Which is possible. In my opinion it looked like it was a lucky touch. But we will never know.

It does make me laugh that some people seem to think that giving an observation or opinion on a player on an internet forum should be prohibited. Nothing I said was wrong - his first touch quite clearly didn't go where it was supposed to and the second was a fortuitous flick off the defender and he scored into an empty net. He did make a good run though so I'll give him that.

Fair play to him for scoring but he is a poor footballer. A goal in a pre season friendly is not going to change my opinion of him.

Lol he beats the keeper with a touch that was supposed to go in the opposite direction, then beats the defender with an inadvertent touch onto himself.

Archer looks pretty sharp so far in pre season. Might be in the minority but I'd keep him.
