3 points. Move on with relief, but Christ even before sending off we were poor and under a silly amount of pressure for a home game against a newly promoted side. 

 

Need some signings.

Newly promoted teams are often more fitter at the start of the season - the championship is around ten games longer and they enter the cups at the first round. It balances out very quickly though.

Only negative was Hall in the second half; he made about four dodgy back passes which could have lead to them equalizing and all of their attacks came down his side as he seemed to have been targetted.

When Kelly came on he was much more proactive instead of reactiva and pushed them out quite a bit compared to hall...

Not convinced (I know, one game...)

I never watched the game but the google timeline said hall cleared a couple off the line.

He did actually make a goaline clearance so well done to him.

Few mistakes that he will be made aware of no doubt...

So all good

Aye. We were poor but you could tell that we were going to get a hold of the game and strangle them.

It was going to be one of those ‘decent starts by the underdog, before losing what turns out to be a comfortable game for the opposition’ games.

The red card, and the referee ensured that wasn’t to be the case though.

 

As I say, they’ll go down and not even put up any reasonable fight to stay up. They are probably worse now they they were when they went down.

The only midfielder that we have that Gallagher wouldn't get a start ahead of is Bruno.

 

But I doubt we'd go for him for the reasons stated by others (salary)

I think he's a better footballer than Joelinton - and Tonali, unfortunately, remains an open question in terms of the PL

I must have missed that post but was someone seriously suggesting Gallagher was better than Joelinton [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]

It’s amazing how quickly my good will for a team can go down the shitter. I’ll know better next time. Cunts from kickoff. Everyone of em.

See the last few minutes showed he wasn't, or he wouldn't have been given the fouls we got. He's just terrible, really terrible.

 

Nah, I just think he'd reached the very outer boundary of being shamelessly on the take. [emoji38]

It was down to his England duty. I said before the Euro’s that I’d rather our players not go. They needed a rest, and the ones going with England were never going to play. He only came back the other week and hasn’t had a long enough rest, nor a long enough pre-season. Almost like Southgate did it to unsettle our squad due to being under the impression that he was getting the Man Utd job.

 

Come on Stiffy, this is delusional even on your scale :lol:
