    What exactly defensively are you expecting from Firpo ?

    Yesterday he tackled or blocked his man as was necessary and regarding getting back he certainly puts more effort into that than say Djed Spence lately. Also the idea is that when your full back bombs forward then one of the 2 holding midfielders provide cover as it's simply not possible to repeatedly cover a 100 yards in 10/11 seconds as you seem to demand

    Out of all our full backs Firpo is definitely the most frequent in getting forward as well as being the most effective. In fact in the final third his end product is better than all our wingers.

    So Bamford will lead us to promotion (as happened previously) and then keep scoring in the PL (as happened previously).

    Seem some people have short memories.

    If you can't see Firpos defensive frailties then there's nothing I can say to help you. Just keep happy clapping.

    Did he 'lead' us to promotion?

    I'd say he had more impact in causing relegation with key chances missed under pressure. Just keep happy clapping cos we beat Brum at home.

    3-0 would seem to justify being happy and not sure if you've noticed but all full backs get beaten by their man sometimes.

    Correct, they do.

    Wingers generally don't have to beat Junior one v one to get past him.

    To be fair, it's prolly not you that's wrong. It's prolly everyone else. Keep clapping.

    Bamford has always come up with the goods when he's been fully fit and he's doing so again <ok>

    Piroe is a very good player used in the right way.

    We spent a big fee to bring in Piroe. I think Farke has to take some responsibility of not getting the best out of him.
