    If it is 4 then I expect the 4th is either Bednarek or Stu Armstrong

    Bazunu, Manning, Stephens, Charles, Edozie and Adam Armstrong are likely settled in term of future

    Although I read that as “started”. If subs are included you have Mara and Aribo. So assuming your players are in the number then ideally the number is higher than 4…

    It’s clear that at least one defender we sign will need to be recruited as a starter. To even get them through the door. And that is Bednarek’s spot

    I say at least one because ABK and Bednarek might both move on

    Agreed, I like the way he talks, it's no nonsense and I get the impression he won't stand for any bollocks from the players.

    I think Tella’s decision making is poor.

    I thought it was a decent decision to strike it in to the back of the net

    When he switched to the left, it looked that way. Want to keep him though!

    ... and we didn't have to wait for 5 minutes for VAR to check if his left earlobe was offside by a nano-millimetre

    RM did also say in the Sky interview 'We will be stronger when the window closes' so perhaps he knows more than he is letting on?

    Amazingly we are still 2nd
    ... and we have the best attack and 3rd worst defence in the division

    That's entertainment :1980_boogie_down:

    Great performance from Adam Armstrong second half. Found great space, quickly turned and ran at them, exciting and direct.
    Think we’ve seen when he plays up top he doesn’t have quick enough feet in tight areas, but saw a new lease of life today.

    Stopped for a bite to eat so I'll sum up my thoughts.

    That's two tricky away games and 6 points taken. Really promising start to the season. Thought we were outstanding 2nd half. The wind may have been a factor but hard to tell from the back of the stand. Edozie's best game in ages. Actually put some dangerous balls in and nearly scored. Adam seems to have found a new lease of life under Martin - he was fantastic today. Charles was my MOTM though, he was certainly our best player in the first half and although he more competition in the second half, he was very calm and assured on the ball. Stu excellent as well.

    In that case, fair play to them for putting that out of their minds and playing well today.

    Well I’m happy with that! This was one of those games that could have been a draw and we turned it into a win, something we have really struggled to do for a long time. 2 away wins against teams with momentum.

    If we can turn those 1-0 losses into draws and have a few games where we are out of sight by halftime we’re well on our way.

    I knew Armstrong would come good, didn’t I always say he would be great in the Championship <laugh>

    It's class that we've had a late goal in all 3 league games so far.
