My take on the Connolly seri spat, Aaron wasn’t having a go because seri slipped, he was ****ing annoyed because we were on the edge of their area in an attacking mode and seri sent the ball back to our goalkeeper, he’s a striker and any possible shots on goal they feed off them… That was my take on it, don’t shoot the messenger, it’s just my opinion or is that onion, I can never remember lol

Luxembourg. Using NORD VPN. Works for any country normally but for. games shown live on SKY you need to switch to a country that hasn’t bought the games like Luxembourg or Lichtenstein. Had NORD VPN for sometime and always found it good and a reasonable price. You get a money back trial https://nordvpn.com/

I use NordVPN
I tend to use Germany but it's easy to change countries quickly.
 
Reflecting on yesterday, Stoke, like The Massive, were a couple of notches down from the other teams we've played so far. That's not to denigrate our performance, I thought we were excellent but they were there for the taking.

Morton and Seri worked well and I thought Slater played well in the new role. He is the type of player that successful clubs have; flexible, hard working, effective without necessarily looking like the standout. At the moment our paucity of forwards isn't hurting us but we are just an injury away from that being a problem. We are looking strong for options in most positions though. I like the look of Lokilo but can't at the moment see him getting more than the late sub shoring up role that he's currently getting. Sayyadmanesh is going to struggle to get on the pitch at the moment but, again, given a few injuries he may come into his own. It's good to have such strength in depth.

The icing on the cake will be if Sinik comes good. I'm skeptical but you never know.

Yeah, famous game that....1st pen Lawrence tries to do a cheeky chip down the middle...Boaz Myhill didn't move an inch and just caught it. Think the second one, might have been a different player, did the same.

If I was a keeper I would stand still for most of the penalties - you have to dive sometimes else the kicker will know your plan. So many penalties are easily saved because they are down the middle, slightly to one side or not hit hard. There's little chance of saving if somebody takes them like Kane - even if you dive the right way.

Rosie on Seri and Connolly...

“They were arguing and they want to win, and I love it. I’ve been asking for them to argue with each other for a whole year since I’ve been here," the Tigers boss told Hull Live.

“You need to be demanding with each other; they argued as they were walking off the pitch and then they hugged and made up and they’re best mates again. That's what it takes. You need to demand from each other, you need to fall out with each other at times because it makes each other better and makes you successful.

"I said to Ben Warner (analyst) in the dressing room, it’s perfect and that’s the mentality I want. I had many arguments with Paul McShane when he got promoted, or Alex Bruce or David Meyler - you need to argue if you want to be successful."

Looks like Slater’s getting to keep the goal. Was there an angle that was definitive about whether the shot was on target or not?

There's a fair few people, and I sit near a few in south, who don't comprehend that football has once again changed, and that playing out from the back, methodically, and passing backwards to retain the ball is the way most teams play now. At the first sign of it going wrong there are people shouting 'forward', who then with no hint of irony, get face on when someone hits a long ball and it goes straight to them. Basically....can't please everyone. Ever

I think it's best to mix it up. Long balls can work. City now seem to play the ball to touchline more now or to other defenders when there's no pressure. My complaints were mainly about taking risks right in front of goal.

There was a penalty awarded yesterday in the Luton game I believe where the ball hit the players thigh then ricocheted up onto his arm, everyone was saying it shouldn't be a pen, even Mike Dean , yet VAR concurred it should be. Its getting fkn ridiculous.

There was aalso a clear foul in the penalty area and VAR said no penalty.
I hope these are looked at by the guys in charge and get it sorted.

It certainly was a comprehensive win, even during the first 20 minutes, I just felt we were biding our time and wearing them down.

Connolly really is a menace, as is Philogene, and didn't they work that first goal well. Nice to see Jaden getting to the byline, and picking out Aaron, who cleverly took a step away from goal to free himself from his marker.

Lovely long ball from Allsop to Aaron for the 2nd, and smart finish for Adama, was so pleased for him after the miss the other night. Liam made the right choice, putting him in.

Slater look so much more effective in the forward role, I thought he had a very good game, and I can see why Liam likes him in the side, does a lot of hard graft often missed by many.

Morton certainly lived up to our expectations, classy player, and will only get better, looks a nailed on starter now.

A pity we conceded a sloppy goal, Greaves was a bit soft into the tackle but being on a yellow maybe that was on his mind and didn't want to get sent off. Not that it would have matter about missing a game as he was already going to, being on 5 yellows.

We are really starting to look like a good team now, and the strength on the bench must be up there as one of the strongest in the division. It really does bode well for the future.

Are you certain he wouldnt get a ban for 5th yellow and another ban for red?
