Bit surprised at the attendance yesterday - 1st home game, sun shining. Maybe expected a few more in the ground. Suppose it's still holiday season...
Frustrating as he can be at times, I hope we don't forget Luis Hemir, he has all the talents to challenge Mayenda who has shown him that the route is open ,so come on son take every chance your given prove it.
Over the season we will absolutely need them, I'm talking about next weekend or the one after. Alese and Rigg have the shirts
Great crowd considering the end to last season and probably a couple of thousand on holiday - we go away next week for a fortnight for example.
Definitely - good position for the manager to be in. Rigg looks so fearless of having his place in the first 11 imo - like he knows he is good enough for this level and is just going to go out and prove it to everyone watching.
Ballard goes straight back in, why wouldn’t he? He’s our best defender. You don’t leave out your best players upon their return from injury becsuse someone has half a decent game.
Personall, I dont think we need another CB unless we offload a couple, one definitely needs shipping out asp, if not two.
Right back will be more important if/when Pembele goes. We have O9, Alese, Ballard, Triantis & Hjelde as CBs with Seelt to come back in.
Some of our fans have to resist the urge to think this like, top-6 would be a huge success for us this season. All efforts towards staying within touching distance of 6th and hopefully make a play for it in the run-in.
He was OK against Cardiff and had a decent first half yesterday. Ballard has had many decent games last season do we just forget that because we’ve kept two clean sheets without him? Do you think if Messi was injured for a game and Argentina won without him they’d leave him out when he was fit?
Tight call this one , we have to encourage players like Alese and Rigg by giving them games if they play like they did yesterday for the sake of the squad. Call it rotation if you like, but we are going to need more than eleven players over the coming season .
Defo mate but the season is a long one they’ll get plenty of chances. Have to play your best players when they’re fit
Huggins would thrive in this system at RB mind it’s a shame he’s out. Covers both sides too need him back ASAP
