We played better against scum. Too many wayward passes and I think Bielsa should get them practicing shooting on target. Bamford is starting to annoy me. Roofe doesn't look interested and Philips passing is ****e today.
Missed the goal, morning all. Great stream Ell, thanks. Think we're looking good but League 2 quality opposition at best?
We're looking tired in this half again. Not like us. Wonder if the flight has killed us. Or is it really hot over there, even at night?
10 degrees and heavy dew apparently. No press and no composure on the ball, Aussies look most likely atm.
That's the first 'goal-on' free kick I can remember Douglas taking. Will prolly forget it like all the rest.
Well Pablo was my motm anyway, but that goal! WOW! Very much reminiscent of Archie Gemmil v Holland, 1978. A lot of flat performances from us, but Dallas continues to shine. Reminds me of Eddie's comments about moving to LB. Said he preferred it & it improved him as he could see more of the game from the back. I wonder how long it will be before Ayling gets back into the team. He'll need to rely on injury or suspension if Dallas continues to play like that.
I'm not picking on Bamford, it's only pre-season and I hope he gets 25 in the league this year, but he never seems to gamble in the 6 yard box - he seems to expect the ball to come to him rather than attacking it aggressively. Can't see too many big hard centre-halves wetting themselves the night before they face him. Liked Stevens when he came on, seems to work well with Dallas on the right going forward, though they were struggling to dominate the young Aussie lads at the back last 20 minutes, especially their no. 32 - Carpenter was it?
The annoying thing about Bamford is he never had any trouble scoring when he played against Leeds, and that was from about half the chances he gets now
