The Prophet

Dud Hayden go by the way? There were reports we were negotiating to release him.

It's fairly evident that our PSR deficit prevented us from spending in January.

We haven't needed to do a last minute deal for a while or have used up the budget by then.

On a positive note, I enjoy that he always wants or shows for the ball and will always try to progress it forward, perhaps a bit too eagerly at times.

We'll have to improve against this lot. We must be confident given previous performances and the space they'll leave in behind. Wouldn't be at all surprised if we go more direct, like we did last year.

I think we've looked more compact and organised than we did away from home last season. The attacking play needs some work though.

Can't remember too much good fortune tonight mind.

Sounds very sinister.

Think he's been one of better players to start the season.

Bruno and Gordon getting involved in the Sandro love too.

Grinding out results while not playing well is a good trait, but no doubt we need to improve. Hopefully we kick on from the last twenty mimutes and the momentum of the shootout win.

As if some of them get a home draw too...

I don't think we were as bad is being made out, but we still weren't great.

Similar pattern to the Bournemouth game that. Started and finished well, but sloppy either side of half time. This lot looked far less threatening than Bournemouth like.

Much better last 15-20 minutes.

Lovely finish like.

Patchy performance with some good stuff and some more ragged stuff. Was delighted to see a bit of possession and control towards the end of the half, we've lacked that for a while.

Don't think Hall has been that bad, granted some of his more adventurous passing has been sloppy.

You must be new here.

Feel for him, hopefully it's not too serious.

Plays t'other side of the pitch.
