    I really rate young Crompton, hoping he can push on this year

    Agree, but I'll add that the players will also benefit from trying to implement RLB's style and philosophy. Then the coaches can feed back what they saw.

    Would like to see young Walsh get on who we brought over from Ireland. Was reading his interview about how he feels more at home here now.

    He wasn’t really dominant like. He scored one header. Mayenda has actually pressed like ****, ran all over. Had a few chances and won a penalty and scored one too

    Also for context we barely beat them last season. This is a domination

    Their squad was far far better last year. It's using international academy lads who are part time to prop up their team. They have brough on a little more experience this half. It's a tighter game.

    She was standing in the kitchen, preparing
    our usual soft-boiled eggs and toast for
    breakfast, wearing only the 'T'shirt that she
    normally slept in. As I walked in, almost
    awake, she turned to me and said softly,
    "you've got to make love to me this very
    moment"
    My eyes lit up as I thought, "I am either still
    dreaming or this is going to be my lucky day"
    Not wanting to lose the moment, I embraced
    her and then gave it my all; right there on the
    kitchen table.
    Afterwards she said, "Thanks," and returned
    to the stove, her T-shirt still around her neck.
    Happy, but a little puzzled, I asked, "what
    was that about" She explained,
    "The EGG TIMER'S broken

    I think this is an unnecessarily drab take, if Barcelona played South Shields it would be a similar scoreline to this, we're obviously not Barcelona but you can only beat what is in front of you, nobody thinks Shields are a great side. Pre seasons are littered with us playing non-league or lower league sides and underperforming. It's okay to enjoy when we win.
