Gallowgate Toon

Not sure if he was singing but he definitely was in a casino and club in Nottingham last night.

Even against Blackburn we had some excellent chances, despite not playing well. Just not buying that we're making it hard for ourselves. We've lost 2 in our last 16 league games or something daft like that? Only one of those has been a draw too. Rafa has a long-term plan, I'd rather he stuck to that.

Why does a team that's the top scorers in the division, averaging 2 goals a game, need to play 2 strikers?

This just isn't true. We've cut a lot of teams to pieces.

We've absolutely torn some teams to shreds with fantastic attacking football. I think Rafa has different plans for different matches, sometimes he wants us to probe and sometimes he wants us to pile in. We've had numerous games with 20+ shots and a plethora of great chances. Wouldn't be at all surprised if it's some kind of preparation for promotion.

Love his tackling. Absolutely booms in but is usually dead clean with it.

Not concerned at all. We're playing well still, no dodgy ref and that game's ours. Brighton will overtake us before our next match, I think, but they won't keep their form up. Then we've got the Jan window, and Rafa's teams apparently always come into their own in the second half of the season.

Yeah, fuck off.

Darlow, man

ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Get in!

Would've preferred to see Atsu start. Glad Yedlin is in, though. Should be very useful on the counter.

The signs under Rafa are already immensely positive. This is still a young group with lots of of time to develop under a great coach. And we will add to the squad in Jan and next Summer. I saw how gutted they were after the game and I think it'll only make them stronger. This is just the beginning of something great!

Obviously rusty and still has a lot of adapting to do, but I thought he was really decent (both going back and forward). Reckon he'll turn out to be a really decent full back for us.

Aren't we on course to beat the division's best ever points total? I'm not really sure how much more we can be getting. One of the best defences and the best attack, so far.

He's also had good games from the start, so that's a bit of an inaccurate conclusion, IMO.

Christ, this is all going a bit far. You wouldn't have thought we'd just been on a massive winning streak

Annoyed about the 'keeper swapping, he should've done it the other way round. Not going to crucify him, though. He'll take risks, some will come off and some won't. He'll win us a trophy.

Calling whether we'd stay up, based on one game, is a tad daft too. Not that there aren't issues with this squad, but I still think there's 3 worse teams in the Prem than us. Plus, I'm sure we'll add players when we go up.

He'd be the first winger on my teamsheet, at the minute. Had far less chances to play than others but he offers something we need and has contributed well. Deserves a solid few games. I'd actually consider dropping Ritchie over Gouffran, tbh.

Rafa will get rid of this eventually, like. The only real positive from this is that we actually made it somewhat far in a domestic cup for a change. Absolute crap how we've gone out, mind.

Bollocks. Really, really disappointed. Sels will rightly get shit for that error, but it was pretty rubbish from a few. Bad week. Hope it's the worst of the season.

We'll always be shit at pens, like.

Typical us Need to keep composure.

Awful.
