Not bad at all. We look like scoring every time we go up the pitch. Defending needs a bit of work, we don't stop many crosses and give away too many free headers. Delighted to see Rigg get a goal. Hemir is a concern. I'm not saying he's lazy, but he doesn't half look it - lacking confidence isn't an excuse to walk about all game. Won't be long until people are on his back, unfortunately.
Fully agree mate. Gonna be captain soon enough if remains at the club (big ask to keep him for too long)
Huh? He was busy as **** when he came on and got involved all over the place. We won’t be on his back, nobody in the ground was I can assure you.
Ekwah ridiculous as ever, Clarke awesome, Ballard every bit the domineering CH every good team needs and Rigg a sensation in the making...I also thought 09 was brilliant, 1st half in particular. They were all mint in truth.
As I say, I'm not saying he is and I wouldn't judge at this stage. Maybe it's just his running style. You can see how people are going to criticize him though. He needs a goal.
He does and without seeing replay yet that was a golden chance. He was busy though he linked up a couple times and he was grafting, I didn’t see anything lazy in that appearance
I thought Hemir looked alright when he came on. Was dropping deeper to link up and made some good runs
How about this lads.... My mate and me in the pub last night watching the Sky ticka-tape. My mate - (Boro fan) You lot will get stuffed tomorra. You still have to play without a striker against one of the favs to get prompotion. Me - I'll take another 0-0 draw right now. My Mate -Saints have too much for you lot. Me - Aye I'm very wary of Smallbone and their striker Adams. My Mate - Fancy a bet, if I give you some odds. Me - Depends. My mate - I'll give you 2 goals head start, but I want the away win, and the draw Me - How about you give me 1 goal heads start and I get the home win and the draw. My Mate - Ha ha ha.....it'll be like takeing candy off a baby. Me - Really?....give me 2/1 then My mate - Done !! He text me at half time.....and said, "What's going on, you have no f*ckin striker man ffs" Me - Yes, but we have The Faith. I'll get his £40 tonight...
Well that was a WOW performance, buzzing after that. Ekwah was sensational and in my mind may become one of our greatest ever signings, making us 10s millions when he eventually moves on. Ba proved the doubters wrong, still looked a little raw but tormented their defence all game. Clarke world class. 09 and Ballard were awesome though ongoing concern they barely won a header all game. To top it off it was lovely seeing Bennett have that moment with the fans after THAT skill and cross for Riggs goal
Smallbone, Armstrong and Downes is nout to shout about. Not even a strong championship midfield never mind PL.
nah, certainly not lazy, what i noticed was a young lad considering options before making his decision...most young lads would have swiped quickly in a desperate search for that first goal, to me it shows he is full of confidence in his ability, think there were 3 lads closing in on him just as he shot and that would have caused him to take it maybe a split second too soon, we all expected to see the net bulge but it will come.
