2-1 Bournemouth (j) Placheta

If we keep this squad together, it could be some season! I'm under no illusions that other teams aren't looking at Cantwell, Godfrey, Aarons and Emi etc, but if by some miracle we keep them, I think it's a better squad than our last Champ squad by miles! Skipp looks an improvement on...

The Aarons one was a stonewaller for me. Ball had gone and he was absolutely clattered. VAR would have taken about 3seconds on that... and then given a throw in or something lol

Scrappy win but a great result! Krul- 7: Not a whole lot to do, but commanded his area a few times very well, late on Aarons- 7: Looked much more comfortable at this level. Zimmermann- 7: Solid as a rock without being troubled too many times. Didn't give Huddersfield a sniff really. Godfrey-...

Barden didn't look out of place. A small blip before the 3rd, but looked assured for the most part. Mumba was OK, but was a little hesitant going forward. Needs to be more direct imo. I guess being his first game, he didn't want to do a McCallum and get caugh out of position.

What do you think our strongest squad/lineup will be this season? Providing we only sell Lewis, I'd say: Krul Aarons Zimmermann Gibson Byram Skipp Vrancic Buendia Cantwell Dowell Pukki Subs: McGovern Quintilla Godfrey Sorensen Hernandez Placheta Hugill We still have some decent reserves too...

Dismal display today. My ratings: Barden-7 Pretty solid display. Not much he could do about any of their goals. Mumba-6 Not bad, but lacking any real threat going forward. Zimmermann- 4 We conceded 3 so hard to give much higher. Klose- 4 As above. Doesn't look comfortable on the ball and went...

I'd be tempted to move on to another target. Is he really a £5m player?

Not sure blaming Emi is fair. He was everywhere trying to make things happen for us yesterday. Imo he was MOTM by a long way! We had two deep lying midfielders (Trybull and Tettey) whose job it is to cover for our attacking midfielders when they move forward.

As much as I love Farke, I hate the whole 11 men back for corners. We had almost everyone back in the box for their 1st goal and no-one out to defend the cross. This happened 3 times in the 1st half, where they had a 2v1 situation from short corners and he still didnt put two men out to stop it...

Disgraceful by the Barclay End today. Messing around with the ball made everyone switch off, just as we were fighting to keep a lead. On a positive note, every player gave their all and that is what we need if we will stay up. Deserved so much more today. King Kenny was colossal! #otbc

Can we sign a CB please? I know we will never sign VVD or anyone, but itd be great if we unearthed a gem of a CB who makes our defence more solid! Id even push Godfrey up into midfield if we could get someone in! His pace, strength and defensive positioning would make him the ultra DM. Failing...

This is the team for me (if Hernandez is fit enough): Krul Aarons Amadou Godfrey Lewis Tettey Mclean Buendia Cantwell Hernandez Pukki

Every player was immense today (yesterday). Krul 8 Bryam 9 Amadou 9 Lewis 8 Mclean 8 Tettey 8 Emi 9 Stiepermann 7 Cantwell 8 Pukki 8 I was hoping we would keep them under 8! We did a hell of a lot more than that! Absolutely love this squad! OTBC * Perhaps a little harsh to give anyone less...
