    Bayo’s first effort was pretty good when he just fired past the post but after that just seemed to not connect well or be alert enough at times .

    Think Louza is going to get a few crackers - another decent effort yesterday.

    TBF Bachmann did come out well and pull off a very good save but yes definitely taking risks with the passing.

    They all seem coached to do it !

    I am liking the comments by the coach on the WFC website, he actually explains things and is specific about certain players in a positive way. None of this "we learn from our mistakes" rubbish - whenever someone says this I think about how long they have been learning......

    If you ask Mrs NZ then it is ever since I met her.

    The manager has made it clear this is what he wants and players have to adapt and improve, he more or less agrees that this is Bachmann's main weakness and they are working on it, I suspect that the January window will not be to add to the squad as such but to replace any or all the players that are not adapting to the way he wants, I hope the current squad do well and all we do in January is strengthen the squad not overhaul it

    I am beginning to wonder if we can do better than last season or even the season before in the Championship and have a team that plays for each other rather than just the money they are paid

    Terrific match yesterday. Should have won, could have lost, a draw not an unfair result. More entertaining so far than anything last season, most of the season before, two games in. Expectations raised, too! Mind you, that wasn't difficult.

    Before the start of the season I was almost disinterested and not looking forward to it

    Two games in and fully engaged, even almost believing we can go up

    Watford fans are cursed

    That's about the size of it.

    It sounds as if people will be happy to have the coach here next week. :bandit:

    It's all down to those Nigerian witchdoctors on Facebook - they put a thousand year curse on us for not releasing Dennis.
