I hope to god we are able to activate the buy option for Isidor without any hitches. That whole sanction thing has me worried. I don’t want him to leave
Just back from the match, comfortable win...no dramas, great to be back at the SOL, what a set of players these young lads are, 40000+ what a club we have HTL.
He looks a real rolls royce at this level, I will admit was a bit concerned when Ballard got injured and not because of Mephams credentials but because he is a bit slight, and I thought if we are playing with O'Nien at the back he needs a battering ram type next to him. I was very wrong, thankfully.
They were the worst team I can recall seeing for quite a while. There was absolutely nothing at all from them. We did what we had to do and barely broke sweat. A very comfortable win indeed.
Quality since he came into the side. Suppose it shows the real jump from Championship to PL. He's coasting through games and looks a cut above the rest. He sprayed a lovely ball out wide left to Mundle first half.
Very composed, reads the game super well and as a result rarely puts himself in a position where his physical deficit is exploited by a big or fast striker. Makes me worry about the Premier League standard like, if he is getting loaned out by a club fighting to stay up.
Aye, that made me think about the jump up as well. If we need to go from a 'Ballard' to a 'Mepham' (for example) all over the pitch just to have a shot at survival then it's no wonder the promoted teams get whipped most weeks.
Wife has just put the little one to bed. I am talking through the quality of the goals with the 8 year old. Great day.
I'd be excited to see what we could do recruitment wise having that bit more leeway money wise and being in the Prem giving the model of giving youth a chance could attract some gems.
Absolutely, and that's where letting someone like Jack Clarke move on will be a positive for us; and not just in cash terms. If good young players can't get in a PL first team then we should be at the front of the queue. If we do go up then that market open up to the elite team of Europe and their best young talent. Let's be honest, Ancelotti has already spoken/joked about Jobe, Bayern etc have already scouted Rigg, so it's not like we aren't on the radar of these clubs with the way we are going about our business.
Just watched the game now - always more enjoyable when you know the final score. That was as dominant a display as you'll see this season, n I don't think we got out of 3rd gear Hats off to Neil, thought he was class n just controlled everything both in n out of possession. Both wingers frustrated at times but the work rate was class. Really impressed with isidor today n wow what a finish Back 4 were different class - again, all 4 were quality. Mepham n o9 have to be up there with the best partnerships in the league at the minute - Leeds CB pairing the only real challengers for me at the minute Final words have to be about Jobe, wow wow wow - what a player what a performance n yet still so much growth to go for him. Motm for me n I don't think it was close, that's as good as a CM display you'll see this season I havr watched a lot of championship football this season n he is the best CM in the league at the minute. I love Hamer as a player, especially as a AM n he's capable of magic moments, but I think Jobe is the best in the league in cm. What a talent n what growth from him Speakman take a bow for what you've done to this club, thank you - you have given us a team that we love, a team with HUGE potential and a team that loves playing for each other n for us fans
Some championship on bbc said we’re the best out of the top teams. As comfortable a 2-0 win as well have. Love Isidor, what a nuisance he is. Midfield 3 were brilliant, long may it continue.
Im in the Lakes this weekend so missed the game today. Ive just seen Isadors goal. Ive said it onecw and ill say it again. Young Thierry Henry in the making .
I make no apologies if this angle has already been posted but its outrageous. The pass from Neil is inch perfect, Wilson doesn't have to break stride. Wow. Goal of the month done and dusted. https://x.com/Capt_Fishpaste/status/1850239644866105720?t=Cve0gu25cmB-3aK4ERn02g&s=19
