    Two of those were penalties.

    Do penalties not count as goals anymore then? :)

    Haha, it's a bit of a cheat code for top scorer imo.

    Only if you score from them.
    It's not often the match report includes a UFO sighting. Last seen high over the Atlantic and it's still being tracked by NASA.

    Not too far from Derby, wonder if there's a chance it could land in their goal on Saturday?

    As long as it doesn't burn up on re-entry.

    That could help too if we're 3 down late on - 'Match abandoned due to one of the goals being on fire'.

    Oh no what a shame.

    The ball from Adam Armstrong's penalty has been spotted over Nuneaton

    Scienza in for Azaz for me too. I want to see him over 90 minutes, and Azaz has underperformed in the last few games.

    You can kind of see how Azaz is wanting to play, but he seems off the pace. Whereas Scienza definitely looked on it against pool.

    I would like to keep Quarshie in the team.

    Yes he was at fault for the goal but he does give us pace, he is a bit of a monster and I like his long throw ins.

    Rather we stick him for now.

    Armstrong made a mistake last game too by completely ****ing up the penalty but we don't want to drop him too, do we?

    True, but you worry that another error might affect his confidence. I don’t think he was expecting to play every game from the get go.

    Personally I’d like to see a back four with actual fullbacks. Give fellows freedom to venture forward without so much defensive responsibility.

    I’d be dropping Adarma from penalties though. He’s never been great at them. Got to be Stewart on them now.

    Anyway, can’t really compare Adarma to Quarshie as the former has earned his licence, so to speak, in our previous campaign in the Champ. Quarshie hasn’t.

    Really? Arma's been good at pens from my recollection - Tuesday night notwithstanding. Don't fancy Stewart with pens at all, no idea why.

    Adarma has scored 6 and missed 2, for us. For Blackburn, he scored 10 but missed 4! (Yikes, that's bad).

    Stewart for Sunderland and Ross County; scored 11, missed 2. So, slightly better, I guess.

    Indeed, I think George Burley signed him
