    He could absolutely take that main man spot at his young age and he rightly deserves it so far imo

    he fits the system perfectly for what we need up top. You can see his movement improving every week and his confidence getting higher

    Considering his loan was a disaster last year it’s unreal the leap forward he’s taken this season, over the moon for the lad

    Brilliant 3 points.
    Chuffed for the players, management and most importantly those travelling.
    Safe journey back all.

    Wasn’t there a debate about not getting Régis early enough to make a good start?

    Absolutely superb.

    Fortuitously got the first but then managed the game sublimely after that. To score the second goal that early in the 2nd half kills them off and then a quick fire third makes sure. Shame to see the clean sheet record go but Christ we've won 4 out of 4 and we're playing so well.

    CANS

    Aye but just imagine how good we’d be if we actually appointed our first choice head coach instead of the fifteenth :emoticon-0105-wink:

    just remembered, oniens goal was 91 minutes, so we went a full four 90 minutes without conceding and patto still has not had to make a save 'in anger'.

    Agree with that.

    Everyone is rightly impressed and enjoying the start, points scoring against some that have raised concerns or have a different opinion doesn't add anything to the forum imo

    Who would you drop for our Ghanaian CL player, captain, east European prodigy, experienced premier league defender, pacy forwards, skilful right winger ?

    No one. Each and every player has to earn their place in the starting 11 now
