Aluko is playing really well. Yr at work rate too.

Yiadom, Ilori, Richards, Barrow, Kelly and Meyler putting in solid performances too.

Swift is a bit quiet and Bod is off the pace a touch.

NewCorkSeth Weird to see our RB crossing the ball with accuracy!

I've gotten too used to Gunter blasting them well over.


yeah he looks good, yet once again JVB flat footed and behind play. If this is the style we are going to play then get McNulty in, we need someone whose going to be on the shoulder of the last man, pulling people out of position and getting on the end of dangerous crosses. JVB won't be quick enough even with a full pre season.

and again. oxf*rd touch and then he fouls the guy. He should not be on the field.

Team looks ok. But my god, Bod is horrendously off the pace!!

We could be 2 up if he was fit and ready

Also well done to the fans there. Very noisy and constantly singing. Watching with mates in the West Highlands and they're all commenting on how vocal the fans are.

Royal Ginger Why do all the names on the backs of both teams have asterisks?


I also noticed that - its a little squiggle which is the logo for the mental health charity Mind. I believe every EFL club will have it on their shirts for this season - https://www.mind.org.uk/news-campaigns/ ... rtnership/

Played well - just missing the final touch or pass. Should be leading.

We don't look too bad actually!

Highlights:
Yiadom looks Great!
Richards is doing very well.
Ilori is a classy player.
Barrow is as quick as ever.
Meyler is definitely adding steel to midfield.
Swift looks fitter and dangerous.

Lowlights:
McShane is not Moore.
Kelly is starting where he left off...
Aluko is drifting and attempting some odd passes.
Bod has been postionally poor.

We really are looking good. If we had started Baldock or McNulty up front we would be up 1. Let's get one of them in before Derby figures out how to defend!

I feel like Aluko has been our best outlet so far.

Other than that agree massively with your highlights.

Really looking forward to seeing hoe Clement uses his subs.

Keep up the work rate and then change the attacking options

Bod and Swift won’t be able to keep the energy up but that’s ok, Two new faces and keep the momentum going

That was a very, very Coppell-esque goal!

From now on just pass it to his head.

All in the cross from Barrow, quality.
