The Bonk

Had so much space to move towards goal as well. If that's Broja, he at least get's it on target.

Did that with Tammy Abraham, didn't they. I'd be down for that with Broja, as I rate the lad.

Would Chelsea let him go? Be curious to see what happens with Lukaku.

They're always three passes away from a counter attack, love watching them march down the pitch.

Good. (Nah, I like Potter too, always tough when a highly regarded colleague leaves an organization)

I'd like to believe the only reason most were clamouring for signing players at exorbitant prices is due to our current relegation predicament. Alienate our core players with ego driven merc's and we'd be nailed on for the drop. With our additions, there's plenty of talent to avoid relegation while maintaining a positive culture amongst players.

Culture matters too, look at Man United, you have a fuckload of highly skilled individual contributors who aren't necessarily the most cohesive unit. Howe is spot on (paraphrasing here) when he mentions adding players that are relative in wage to existing core players. The key for us will be to build iteratively, moving in increments towards player acquisition, office talent and the top of the league. Change should always be a constant (look how a lack of it fucked us under Ashley), measured and managed from the front office down to the talent on the pitch adding for sustainable growth as a club and business.

What I am enjoying the most since our takeover is the level of organizational maturity the new owners have instilled in a very short time. We’ve gone from “jobs for the boys” with ZERO Football acumen to students of the game in Howe and Ashworth. Professional’s with pedigree and most importantly, hunger and a drive towards success with the opportunity at hand. I know some were clamouring for big names within the sport to join our ranks, but those that have are pro’s on the rise, who are aiming to build upon previous successes with an ownership group intent of funding that objective. This group (players included) were arguably at their lowest the first third of the current season, so it’s amazing to see the transformation come to fruition the last couple weeks, culminating with our win on Tuesday. This is a big appointment and we’re lucky he chose to leave a job he was quite happy with. This bloke will make us winners, I am sure of it. ?

Bruno Mars on the telly has extra tickled me from that video. A whole room full of hard boy melts chanting with choreographed pop music on the big screen.

https://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/men?dateId=id13554 Canada up to 33rd, we’ve moved up nearly 40 ranking positions in two years. Unreal.

I dunno man, makes meaningless matches have relative importance.

Nah, don’t believe that at all. Was a loan move if we did.

Yeah, we won't be as open as Leeds were and despite our league position, are better defensively since Eddie came in. Hopefully the added day of rest see's us knick a win.

he was the right amount of scruff.

Villa can't defend, Mings has been horrific.

Nice nutmeg by the corner flag. Scary player when motivated.

That was some half. Defence non existent.

He was 30 yards behind Coutinho and went full sprint to get on that. He's a talent based off what's been on display here.

Yeah, remember that thunderbastard now.

I'm an idiot, the beeb fooled me with wording: "First league goal of 2022" (sorry, misread)

That was his first league goal of the season.

Bewyin only happens at the half, Marra.

Lad is a winner, has that mentality and it’s wearing off in the group. What an amazing signing, what a special player.

After we levelled, took the wind out of their sails and they weren't all that interested after Fraser's goal.
