I am giving him a break. He's earned it.

Others, not so much

 

Dan Neil. What a player man. Everything went through him and he dragged us up by the bootstraps in the 2nd half.

 

Rigg is going to be a Rolls Royce of a player by the way.

 

So that's why he wasn't at the SOL today

Real Madrid 4 Girona 0

• Vinícius Júnior (6'minutes),
• Bellingham (35'minutes, 54'minutes),
• Rodrygo (61'minutes)

86 minsHT 2-0

 

His first was nearly as good as Jobes.

 

I disagree, we were horribly narrow and created **** all. Second half though - superb. Beale clearly had a word or 12 at HT. I was impressed with our response and Beale deserves credit. His subs were also bang on. Happy tonight.

 

Dons reaction to Clarke and Bellinghams tap ins.....

 

It’s gonna hurt when Clarke leaves. Adore the lad.

 

I see the draft excluder worker a charm for Plymouth today....

 

You might be right but tbf we do set up to be narrow, at the moment, and I thought we'd created quite a few free kicks in the first half. I could be wrong though, I've drank my entire quota for February today

He didn't look too happy in the post match interview

First 9 league games under Beale = 14 points
First 9 league games under Mowbray = 12 points
Last 9 league games under Mowbray = 8 points

Say what you want about style of play, tactics or the way he talks, Beale is getting more points.

 

sure is but we got to put all the money we get for him back into to team

 

I was buzzing after that

Loved the energy
Loved the organisation
Loved the courage

Dan Neil Immense
Onions was just the epitome of a leader and was clinical and calm
Jack ...what a player
Rusyn...automatic starter for me
Hjelde...a beast
Ballard....solid and reliable

Well done mr Beale for glueing this together today. Applause!!

 

How good is Hjelde? Lad hadn't kicked a ball in anger since August and has been pretty much spotless in his first two games. Kept Whittaker very quiet.

 

It’s Clarke’s personality and attitude that make him excellent as well as his ability. Gets a few kicks but just gets up and goes at them again. Clarke is verging on unplayable when he’s on it, now he has learned / been coached to mix the cutting inside and going down the line more. Causes havoc either way.

 

Would probably give Neil a 9 or 10, unreal today and onien an 8 and don't think hjelde looks rusty either to be honest.

 

Thought his distribution was a bit off at times today, but he was strong in the challenge and has settled well.
