Botman will come back and, eventually, regain his place. And Burn is a more than adequate back-up. Bit of a wild take to claim he was “getting rinsed nearly every game” at left back. He had a period around February time where he struggled badly, but easy to forget he played left-back against PSG, directly up against Dembele, arguably the quickest about, and was great.

6 game ban would do nicely for us.

Nah, they’d have just give the goal

That Leeds gig was his last hurrah. Half a mill for four games then ride off into the sunset.

Maybe it’s a logistics thing but having the two stands behind each goal open is surely better? Or as @Sima said, just the lower bowl all round.

So one stand behind a goal will be empty? Jesus.

And Burn probably replaces Lascelles as club captain in that scenario.

He did alright against a pace merchant on Saturday… Obviously everyone wants and expects Botman to come back in though. But people need to be patient. It won’t just be a case of ‘right Botman’s fit again, he plays every game’. Alas, he’ll play 90 mins against Bromley then everyone will twist like fuck when he’s back on the bench against Wolves three days later.

Incredible

That flag in the East Stand that’s visible when Isak kicks off, has to belong to @HaydnNUFC? Cannot be two Haydn’s in the East Stand.

There’s not even many English managers at foreign clubs either. Bizarre how few there seem to be.

Impressive from Arsenal tbh

I’m sure the amount of stress those materials get put under on a daily basis has some effect.

Reckon the viaduct’s had a canny bit more wear and tear like.

Purely in football terms, he’s not irreplaceable. But he has spades of intangibles that we clearly struggle to replace when he’s not there. Obviously I’d take literally any fucker lifting a trophy for us, but if he could manage it the next couple of seasons, it would be so incredibly deserving.

Tino almost never gets beaten 1-on-1. Doku did him with a drag back last season, but other than that I can’t really remember him being done. Hall moving forward with the ball is absolute sex though.

His Leicester mates fucked off home…

Could have been 10 mins earlier IMO, but regardless, great to see him not flogging himself for 90+

You might be right actually. Think red card is inclusive of all comps but cumulative yellows might just be PL. Not 100%.

Enjoy your night….

Believe so. And Longstaff also suspended for two yellows in the previous two rounds.

Big Joe suspended. Willock in would be my guess.

Absolute class.

Flawless…

4 since the start of last season.
