The kind of game you win if you’re to win a championship

Ref obviously turning a blind eye to things now - Wilders got to him

I’m happy enough with the first half. We’re continuing our lessons after the slump and sitting back a little more. Go in at half time 0-0 and hopefully our quality will see us through when players like Hamer get pulled around minute 60

Fantastic away win. Don’t think we should be so afraid to give Grimes a 10-20 minute break here and there once Onyeka is up to speed. This system change has us less reliant on him and it’s good to have more legs

Really? I've seen both Kitching and Thomas there on a few occasions now. Just assumed it's where they stay ahead of a home game.

I started watching "The Pitt" last week which is a drama based in a Pittsburgh emergency room. Each episode is an hour in their working day e.g. EP1 07:00 - 08:00 which I think is cool. Two episodes in and really enjoying it so far. Season 2 is recently out too.

I hope there's some kind of psychological shift having lost top spot which unshackles some of the players. We've now transitioned from looking over our shoulders to having to fight what has been ours for most of the season.

USA south road trip in May. Atlanta > Smoky Mountains > Nashville > Clarkesdale MS > Natchez MS > NOLA > undecided > Atlanta

Has Wright made a meaningful touch? Other than the one I think he gave away that lead to a goal?

If only Simms and Wright had a first touch and hold up play like Kone - feel it would make a world of difference

So frustrating having Thomas and Kitching attempting the killer balls

Esse and EMC need a talking to. JD and MVE are basically on their own when teams attack us on a counter. Midfielders leave gaping holes if they get across to help. You can get away with it somewhat with MVE because of his running but JD is struggling.

Grimes has become a hindrance I fear, not for his ability, but for our overall reliance on him him being the one to start everything. Teams just press him, allow him to give it to the centre backs and they’ll likely give it away when they go for a high percentage ball.

I’d keep BTA on for his pressing. Think Haji prefers playing with him. Esse does things I don’t think any player our level can do

I watched Roofman last night which is a true story about an ex soldier (Channing Tatum) who breaks into McDonalds stores via the roof and has to live in a Toys r us store. Easy viewing and enjoyable
