I hope to god we are able to activate the buy option for Isidor without any hitches. That whole sanction thing has me worried. I don’t want him to leave
Roberts especially first half was immense today too that poor left back literally couldn't cope.Just got home and that was just a brilliant performance.
Said to my dad after 10 minutes we had the game sorted and so it was.
The pass for the second goal was an absolute belter and the finish just WOW.
Man of the match could be anyone of Mepham, 09, Neil, Rigg or Jobe. Didn't really work for Mundle today but he put another great shift in and never hid.
Trying not to get carried away, but we really are onto something special here
Mepham is some boy at the back. On a yellow card and nowt flustered him all game. Looked in complete control.
Quality since he came into the side. Suppose it shows the real jump from Championship to PL. He's coasting through games and looks a cut above the rest. He sprayed a lovely ball out wide left to Mundle first half.He looks a real rolls royce at this level, I will admit was a bit concerned when Ballard got injured and not because of Mephams credentials but because he is a bit slight, and I thought if we are playing with O'Nien at the back he needs a battering ram type next to him. I was very wrong, thankfully.

Aye, that made me think about the jump up as well. If we need to go from a 'Ballard' to a 'Mepham' (for example) all over the pitch just to have a shot at survival then it's no wonder the promoted teams get whipped most weeks.Very composed, reads the game super well and as a result rarely puts himself in a position where his physical deficit is exploited by a big or fast striker.
Makes me worry about the Premier League standard like, if he is getting loaned out by a club fighting to stay up.
I'd be excited to see what we could do recruitment wise having that bit more leeway money wise and being in the Prem giving the model of giving youth a chance could attract some gems.Aye, that made me think about the jump up as well.

Absolutely, and that's where letting someone like Jack Clarke move on will be a positive for us; and not just in cash terms. If good young players can't get in a PL first team then we should be at the front of the queue. If we do go up then that market open up to the elite team of Europe and their best young talent.I'd be excited to see what we could do recruitment wise having that bit more leeway money wise and being in the Prem giving the model of giving youth a chance could attract some gems.
Beautifully written mate.Just watched the game now - always more enjoyable when you know the final score.
That was as dominant a display as you'll see this season, n I don't think we got out of 3rd gear
Hats off to Neil, thought he was class n just controlled everything both in n out of possession. Both wingers frustrated at times but the work rate was class. Really impressed with isidor today n wow what a finish
Back 4 were different class - again, all 4 were quality. Mepham n o9 have to be up there with the best partnerships in the league at the minute - Leeds CB pairing the only real challengers for me at the minute
Final words have to be about Jobe, wow wow wow - what a player what a performance n yet still so much growth to go for him. Motm for me n I don't think it was close, that's as good as a CM display you'll see this season
I havr watched a lot of championship football this season n he is the best CM in the league at the minute. I love Hamer as a player, especially as a AM n he's capable of magic moments, but I think Jobe is the best in the league in cm. What a talent n what growth from him
Speakman take a bow for what you've done to this club, thank you - you have given us a team that we love, a team with HUGE potential and a team that loves playing for each other n for us fans
Totally differentAfter last season dramatic fall I am taking nothing for granted, but boy it does feel good.
