True we were. Though Tonali and Bruno did not really click (understandably). And former seemed a bit lost at times. Point/opinion still stands though. I think Willock, particularly his ability to carry us forward, has been the biggest miss.

Think Little Joe, is the biggest miss. Closely followed by big Joe. Bruno didn’t play well last night, but can’t expect him to be exceptional every game. Which is basically what he needs to do to compensate for what the other two don’t offer.

I think there will have been enquiries about players we want and think we had/have a chance of attracting. These probably prioritised in terms of what Eddie thinks we need now to continue competing this season. In order to afford this, I think we need to sell. Wouldn’t be surprised to find out, if we ever really would, that the four senior players linked with moves had been to some degree offered, or at least interest encouraged. I don’t think we would push players out, so if Miggy, Calum and Tripps don’t want to go, can’t see us making hard for them to stay. Lascelles will go I think, though maybe in the summer. Of the other three, I don’t think anything is happening now with Trippier. Watch this space with other two. Almiron most likely to go if he says yes and everything else aligned.

About 8 numbers I’d like to see come out, preferably after number 16. So I reckon about a one in 4 chance of feeling happy and optimistic. Chuck in the ‘it’s our year, seaweed turning anti clockwise in the wind, football gods owning us one,’ malarkey… yep. Nailed on. Maidstone at home.

What’s wrong with ‘show my arse’? You have put me right off my chocolate cheeros.

Don’t think that trio works. Something off in the balance and personally I thought Bruno was just a bit off his game tonight. We kind of need him to be exceptional to compensate for what Miley and Longy don’t offer (they do offer plenty too mind). I actually fancy us to put in a performance against Villa. I’ve seen enough in Liverpool A, Makems A, and City H, plus the scrappy win today to make me confident that we’re on the up.

Not like you to predict us to ‘win’ though ?

Would have loved to have him (maybe not at 33)

Whoop! Whoop!!

He’s fucking obsessed with Newcastle giants ?‍♂️

And great header from Sven.

Oh yes Burny!

?

What’s that new song?

Cairney would have hit a start for us today. Wonder what happened re him supposedly signing back in the day?

Concerned about Willian (who is on form) getting in behind Tripps second half. Particularly as Schar on yellow and will be more cautious re cover.

We’re not fully clicking, but Fulham are so well organised and quick to close they make it hard to get any continuity. Did the same to Chelsea and Liverpool. For me, Bruno is the man who needs to go up a notch. He has the ability to hold the ball and find that pass. Even under this kind of pressing. Murphy’s two chances were nice to see. Feel he would have scored the first if it had come a few minutes later. Shame about the offside, but good finish. Promising.

Yep, don’t want Willian and Palhinha coming on with something to play for when we’re fooked.

Age 30, 48 PL appearances, had a shot at our goal, shall we buy him? Shall we?

Coming from your crystal ball, this prediction actually really does give me with confidence.

Howay the Mean Green Machine! Can’t get Ipswich now, but Maidstone will do!

We have had one, PL, magic away game (most magic in our history, from a scoreline perspective). Next one coming up!

? Ah! The interestingly inclusive Fulham, they’ve a broad fan base: from Egyptian billionaires to Tennessee terrorists. Is the club song not ? We are the world, ? (…with nod to their other niche market).

We’re getting the best ever Wor Flags bonanza, the Bobby Robson tribute extravaganza of Ipswich at home. The gods of football justice and the seaweed on my veranda have foretold it.
