    the first goal is poor from the sense that adingra should be occupying the space mbeumo drives into when he comes in side, hes far too high and not concerned enough with coming back

    he gets the benefit of the doubt because maybe the coaches wanted this, hence the selection? but based on every game this season the left winger would definetly have been deeper

    Thing about him is, and the problem I have with him is, I’ve already picked a favourite signing! Or can I have multiples??? (As thee re loads I like for the different things they bring to us!!)

    Best keeper we’ve had in a long time. Pickford was the last time we had a keeper of that stature. And I honestly think he’s at least a good. That save from Bruno was unreal. That had the Cantona vs Pirez written all over it!! But Roefs had other ides

    Nope. Hume’s struggled recently. Poor at Forest last week too

    Didn't see anything of the game, followed it on twitter for a while. Disappointing but overall, when we reflect on our start it's been way above expectaions
    4 points from 4 away games (only 1 goal scored which is a small concern)
    7 points from 3 home games (6 goals scored)

    Saw some people on twitter criticising RLB for going 3 at the back at 0-2 as if we should have gone more attacking and got done 5-0

    All in all, great start. Need to make sure we are saying the same at the next international break - 3 points against Wolves is critical I'd say as the 3 games that follow will be tough. Hopefully home advantage will help us with 3 of the next 4 at the SOL

    Don't agree with that, Forest attacked all game and we kept a clean sheet ...

    ... the whole defence played well imo.

    People predicted Hume wasn't capable of stepping up but many pundits have praised him.

    Not really, most of the big chances we've gave up in our games to date have came from him being targeted or giving the ball away. You can tell he's still adjusting to the league compared to the others.
