This Possibly the most toxic of them all going by the craic I've encountered from both sets of fans over the years, they fucking detest each other.

Tiresias Posted January 7, 2024 Share Posted January 7, 2024 Ok the talk of them being underwhelming i am wondering if it's similar situation to Burnley, they are trying to play out from the back and play patient good football but it just the difference between leagues has just ballooned and it looks so unconvincing one level up particularly at the back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching it and when it got to number two I was thinking “wow we’re gonna be number one” then when it was Celtic and rangers it was “well that’s stupid when you have Exeter and Torquay in there” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjmc Posted January 7, 2024 Share Posted January 7, 2024 I am sure we weren't playing full pelt and don't think we could having played a few days before and the controlled measured response was working. However if our bad luck have of continued Botman could have scored that own goal and Pritchards volley could have bounced down and in. The earlier misses by Longstaff could have then been costly. With every match you need a little luck as well as everything else. Saying that once the second went in I had little doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted January 7, 2024 Share Posted January 7, 2024 Every time I watch the highlights I can't believe that through ball from Bruno is going to reach Joelinton on the first goal. Useless RB helped matters but ultimately it was absolutely inch perfect. He was sensational yesterday, Bruno, probably the best player most of their team has ever come up against.

samptime29 Posted January 7, 2024 Share Posted January 7, 2024 As I said in match thread, thought Mackems shape and workrate was solid early on but as soon as we scored, they needed to show more attacking intent and it never happened. I thought they would be more direct. Ended up a comfortable win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should take up Aussie rules or rugby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still totally baffling that people watched that match and officially gave Isak man of the match over Miggy and especially Bruno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted January 7, 2024 Share Posted January 7, 2024 Ya Bruno and Miggy were sensational but Isak struck the ball two times at goal and scored two times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously we’ve lost derbies recently and in the past, some deservedly (not all mind), but there’s never been a absolute gulf in class like was evident yesterday. It’s palatable to tell yourself ‘they were better than us today, never mind’. But it’s a lot more difficult to admit ‘these are a completely different class to us, we’re miles behind them’, so you need something to lessen that reality.

Unfortunately Miggy gets alot of praise due to how bad he has been recently and it was a much improved performance. With Isak he is just class and you do sometimes take that for granted when looking at a match in isolation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 7, 2024 Share Posted January 7, 2024 Miggy was outstanding and worthy of the praise he got for yesterday's performance, regardless of what's went before. He was class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
