Shukes

Young and Harrison are just not at this level. Harrison look a like Davies used to… runs a lot, works hard…. But absolutely no quality. Young has obviously a football brain on him, but his body just doesn’t seem to know how to link up with it. Past it and needs to look into coaching or deliveries.

Going to be wildly unpopular here, but I’m changing my mind and thinking let’s cash in. I know he scored last night, but was it just me that thought he just slowed us down? He will only ever play a safe pass, never tries to thread it through. He is just so safe it slows our impetus down. If we could get 70 for him, I would snap there hands off. And now we have Garner. I think Garner is going to be Gana’s replacement, or could be if we cashed in on Onana.

It’s because people watch him waiting for him to lose possession. Once that happens they feel validated. He is generally our most accurate passer of the ball, and the one that will link play between defence and attack. Another one of those that you miss more when he isn't there.

Gana for me. Because he’s a favourite of mine and Palfy hates him.

Well deserved point there. We battled and worked hard, just lacked quality. It felt like we matched them on the pitch all game. Doms starting to look sharper as well. Looked more progressive today. Was good to have Gana back, even if we have to put up with the odd shot. He make our middle look a lot stronger. We just need to be a bit braver with the ball. But all in all a good performance. Would have Richarlison back tomorrow.

We don’t square our books, you know that.

Mate if they manage to sell Keane to Luton, even you will have to give them a nod of approval. Maybe Beto to Forest and we’re saved!

And people say our board are useless! This is brilliant business, genius almost.

Met Branch when he played for wolves. He came with a few others for a charity day at the local school. He took my 15 year old cousins number.

Haha for fuck sake I needed that!

Still our biggest asset though. And these players aren’t kids, or shouldn’t be. If they can’t galvanise after a missed penalty… then they shouldn’t be in the professional game. Onana can be so annoying to watch. He has moments when he strides forward and looks like a Vierra…. And then spends the rest of the game looking likes he’s scared to go forward. But he has more good moments than bad for me and we would be a weaker team without him.

Still think there’s fine line between him and Beto’s technical ability. Niasse could at least put a simple pad together. Beto seems to have all the time on the world… panicks and hits a ten yard pass thirty yards to far. Niasse would have kicked the ball up into his face and noses the ball to his team mate. That’s skill.

Watching the match yesterday he is right, the Vauxhall conference is better standard than what we played.

He makes Niasse look a technically accomplished player.

That was terrible. Beto is rubbish guys, I would rather play Chemiti and let him learn. Or even Dobbin.

777 must have taken over already.

That will do me. Now let’s get our own back on Luton.

Doesn’t sound like a thrilling match, but 1-0 up with a Gomes free kick will do for me.

Official site are saying it was a much harder chance and he did well. Very tight angle apparently.

Joel making a few good saves as well by the sounds of it.

Get in Gomes. Excellent free kick they are saying.

I can’t one anywhere.

I took my U14s to play the top of the league team on so day. We we’re without our goalkeeper and three others players, so down to the bare minimum. We were absolutely awesome. No MotM, of Girl of the match… as we have two playing for us. Every player played their part. We were 1-0 up and they had their first shot just before half time… which went in to make it 1-1. At half time I let our team listen to them jumping up and down full of enthusiasm as they thought we would roll over in the second half. We played the second half exactly as we played the first half. Every plate doing their part. Ten minutes before the end out striker Freddie got on the end of corner, just beating my own son Aaron to the ball to make it 2-1. we not only held on to the lead, but very nearly got a third. The team was bouncing at the end. It felt amazing. I love football again. Most amazing sport in the whole world. A team of 13 players came together and battled till the end.

Don’t you start.

Went with Branthwaite. Just watching him go in 100% and win a ball fills me with joy!!!! Not much else does these days, so he’s getting my vote.
