    After the game

    I posted this after the game on against Reading on 21st August: 'Said on the match thread; the togetherness of the players and the connection between fans and players is reminiscent of our promotion campaigns. By no means saying the outcome will be the same, but it’s fantastic to be part of...

    I thought he was ok too. His covering and positional sense were much improved and he was keen to bring the ball out a few times. Clearly not fit yet though, which is slightly surprising as I thought he had a decent pre season.

    I’ve gone the opposite way to many on Maasten after Saturday; I had no concerns previously but he frustrated me slightly at the weekend. The giving the ball away for their chance was a big mistake, but I’m not actually too concerned with that. He was over confident trying to do step overs in...

    Separate incident - this was in front of the main stand, Hamer came over and was handed a young lad (age 3/4 at a guess) who was pretending to throw into the crowd. Could have been a random fan but he came over with a purpose and pointing to the crowd.

    You could tell the goal meant a lot to Waghorn, and he deserved it today. Anyone see Hamer with the young lad after the game? Anyone know the back story?

    It’s only game 6 and the buzz and atmosphere around the club is unreal. We’ve come a long long way over the last few years.

    We’re now looking tired and sitting deep. Got to get fresh legs up front to harry and Sheaf to retain and recycle the ball.

    Middlesbrough look tired, definitely a chance for a second. Godden for Waghornz Gyokeres really is class.

    Be happy with Godden and Sheaf, but Allen is playing well and not sure you take Hamer of as he has the ability to change the game.

    Fairly unusual comment on SBT (or any football forum) - ref is having a good game.

    Outstanding from Moore, three times! Waghorn went mental at Maasten and rightly so. Don’t think he’s weak, almost over confident which he can’t be at this level.

    Genuinely think we’ve been the better team. Get the points re too much passing, but equally that’s our style and how we create. Just need the right person on the end of the move. We’ve looked more threatening than them. They have one (their LW) player who is a big threat, but not much else.

    Not knocking Warnock, as much as I wouldn’t like his style of football, he is good at this level. I’m just stating you can tell it’s his team.

    Walker certainly a better finisher, but it’ll change the dynamic as he won’t do any of the other stuff Waghorn does. Depends what MR wants from the game. Would like to see him around 60 minutes though. A confident Jones might be useful too - there defence looks shakey when pressed/on the turn.

    Don’t think he’s a gypo to be fair.

    Who said these aren’t a typical Warnock side? Lots of Warnock traits on show.

    Waghorn and Allen improving every game - two most improved players so far.

    I don’t miss the shit/no existent 3/4/5(Covid)G at the Arena. Finally got some; started well, they are looking to slow it every single time they can (watch their keeper). Allen has justified his start, he literally just cleared it and then ended up in their box. Their LW is their big threat...

    Perhaps as we expect them to bypass the midfield, so a box to bod type works better?
