Hungover musings . Great result and v.important win but my overall impression wasn't great. Yes we were the better of two poor teams but I thought a lot of our play was pedestrian and predictable and for me the 4-4-2 was the reason. We hardly created a chance in the first half and when we

Excellent result obviously. Sick of all the anti-Bamford tripe tbh, especially so when you consider how many chances Summerville misses? Hope Bamford can get a couple of goals soon to shut the trolls up! Just watching bits of Spurs v Chewlsea, and we certainly have a decent chance of getting

No one is pointing out that we saw something we have not seen for ages-- team management A game plan for the game according to needs and ability. A very smart and brave subbing. The team was and is still under pressure. But when that pressure went we saw what will be. Rutter is simply a

Yeah, McKennie/Adams is a foundation that needs to be built on; what needs to happen now is to drill ways of creating chances into the team - you know, like how Bill used to bring the ball forward and give it to Raph, who’d lay it off inside of him, at which point Bill would either run with it,

Agreed. I don’t see the Adams / McKennie lack of creativity as necessarily a bad thing. They are both solid defensively and steady in possession. It gives us a solid platform to build on and as long as we can find creativity in other areas we’ll still create chances. I don’t think we’ve seen

Agree re lack of creativity with Adams/ McKennie , not sure if Roca is the answer.  I do think our subs, for once,  helped us, both Summerville and Rutter had good cameos . I criticised Rutter in u21s but he did well yesterday,  not the finished article but showed glimpses that he could make

Not much to add to that Dave. I thought we looked far more controlled in possession, apparently our pass success rate what 85% which is higher than in any of the games Marsch managed. I was pleased that we avoided giving away any daft free kicks near the box for Ward Prowse to exploit. I think

The view from the armchair was pretty good too. As Dave says we won, and when me and my mate Broughie entered one of our two local pubs we let everyone know (especially the Crag Rats who seem to descend on the Northern Pennines more often still since Lockdown. I am still not convinced by

We won !  I love saying that so I will repeat it , we won , a premier league game in 2023, ok we were poor or to quote a Belfast Saints fan on our train " Leeds were fucking shit" , but they were worse, and even more importantly we WON Not the prettiest of games and apart from  the goal by
