Has the HTML actually got spaces in? Or is it meant to be _?

I just clicked the link, so it's as is. Can you copy paste?

Tried, and tried without the link, and still just didn’t work, oh well. 

[benjii]

Maybe you all need to turn the animal porn VPNs off.

Or maybe the site needs a VPN.

Sorry.

I can report that BBD hit a wayward shot but was clattered in the knackers just before.

Opera exists for ios, not sure if it's worth a go? Still need a private tab though as that activates VPN. At least on other platforms. Hang on, I've got a spare iphone, I'll try it.

[Cuddles]

Yeah it's working fine on Opera on iOS.

[obelisk]

Have I missed the hydration break?

[Cuddles]

We scored!

Top International that guy.

[benjii]

Nice through pass from Dobbin. Attack came from Downes playing a lovely first time ball round the corner to spring their midfield.

[obelisk]

Downs to take the EFL by surprise this season.

If that happens he'll take us by surprise as well.

Nice finish but I’m surprised he didn’t put it 10 yards over the bar

[CB Fry]

I spy a club legend in the making.

[hypochondriac]

Downs can add that one to his classy preseason goal from last year. 

[PerthshireSaint]

Actually I’m lying it’s on duck duck go on my iPhone

Took it round the keeper past a defender before cooly slotting into an empty net from 4 yards.

[Give it to Ron]

Got this far on Opera

[Saint Neil]

Nice move there Downs unlucky.

[CSA96]

Downs just took on a defender, beat his man and had a decent effort from an angle that the keeper saved. Corner for Saints

[RedArmy]

I see Downs has found his level again. 
 

Any 2.Bundesliga clubs that could take him off our hands?

It was absolutely pathetic defending though.

Just as he hits peak form people want rid of him.

Or maybe not.

Peak form = peak value.

Think we should take him off now to protect his value.

He's reached Matt Paterson levels of excellence.

Dobbin the standout for me so far

 Check out the Double D thread I told you he’d come good

[SNSUN]

We've gone from Adam Armstrong to Damion Downs. 

Going from Double As to Double Ds feels like an upgrade to me.

[Disco Stu]

Roerslev did nothing positive that half. He never took on his man and always looked for an easy pass back or sideways. Welington was the complete opposite and looked lively. Him alongside Scienza down that left side caused them problems.

Brereton-Diaz is a carthorse. An enigma for me because he's looked awful every time I've seen him play but he gets good numbers in the Championship. Maybe we're not utilising him properly?

Nice to see Downs get a goal but I'm still not convinced he's up to the level.

I appreciate it's pre-season but overall, I don't think we've looked that great. All about getting minutes into the legs at this stage though I guess. If we get through this game without any new injuries, it will be a positive day regardless of performance.

Always says that and I don’t have a VPN. Duck duck go is great

[BARCELONASAINT]

believe me Double D's are a hell of an upgrade on AA's
