    Agreed mate, but we must surely be concerned by the lack of quality up front.

    Fletch ain't good enough, Wickham may have been a flash in the pan (it's too early to say), and Jozy doesn't have many goals in him.

    Gus has strengthened the squad, but not up front. We have 3 poor PL strikers who don't have 30 goals between them this season. We may not concede many but we won't survive without goals.

    I know it's early days but I am concerned. I don't want another relegation battle.

    Brian Clough's record of scoring goals was almost a goal a game no one has even come close to him

    I know mate, it's the sheer amount of games it's over that makes it so impressive, I watched a documentary around the time of his death, so it popped in my head when I seen this.

    He scored 40-odd in 60 for Portugal too, and Portugal were ****e at the time.

    I'm of an age when Eusebio was still playing.
    Whilst having kick abouts as kids we used to scream EUSEBIO!!!!!! as we volleyed a shot at goal. hahaha
    And not just once but every time we took a shot.

    To be so modest too, a true legend, when the word meant something.

    Evening guys, i trust the initial anger has died down'like i said earlier. its always a half decent game between us and (fortunately) it went our way yesterday.
    TBh i cant disagree with the score but you guys put up a decent fight. i think 9hope) we'll both be ok this season.

    Cheers guys and good luck for the rest of the season <ok>

    I've just seen some extended highlights and we didn't look too bad at all. bar some 'snatched' finishes and a couple of great saves by Green we would have got summat. I suspect these were rose tinted highlights and i didn't see the ****e bits (wtf did happen at the end of the 1st half?) but we were at least threatening.

    Hey ho, win some you lose some.

    Browns fault for the goal. ****ing ball watching & by the highlights Altidore & Giaccherini did well when they came on so hopefully both will start against Spurs.
