This is like watching an FA Cup game; they don’t look like they’re in the same league. It’s men against boys out there.
Our pressing and intensity is superb. They can’t get out.
Onyeka is an absolute Rolls Royce.
Assuming we go on to be promoted this season (🤞🏼), but then got relegated, you’d have to assume we were in the box-seat (given parachute payments) to get promoted.
Even if we had a honking start - a’la Southampton - you’d have to fancy us to get through the playoffs, especially when it’s...
Was contemplating, during the SU game, how long it would take Frank et al to get him back to a decent level of fitness.
If he was signed early in the summer, maybe properly fit by October? Would need to factor that into any deal though.
This is all conditional on us vaguely performing over the next few games tol; and that would mean a dramatic turnaround in form, which one player (Onyeka) is unlikely to effect alone. If EMC is out, then we are also down a key attacking outlet.
I really hope I’m wrong, but I just can’t see us...
Bobby Thomas sums this team up for me; ridiculously arrogant, even while he continues to make basic mistakes, and strolls about acting too cool for school. Then the obligatory booking for a stupid off the ball foul.
He’s thick as mince and not as good as he thinks he is.
