Hull sure but Blackburn have started well and PNE seems to be one of those teams we never do well against.

Could really do with a win on Wednesday, got some tough away games coming up.

Id have thought that’s implied in a match thread, considering it’s a thread about the match.

Slight shame we didn’t bring Godden on instead of Walker just so we’d have had half the L1 side on the pitch as we went top: Hyam, Jones, Kelly, Allen (Edit: actually forgot about O’Hare, so we did)

Yeah Maatsen did it more yesterday, more the first few games. Hopefully it’s something we’ve been working on. I like Maatsen a lot, I just have a real irrational hatred of floaty crosses to no one. Same as the floaty corners we did a lot last year.

There were lots of times first half where Hyam had the ball and instead of pushing forwards and stretching the opposition and making space he hung back. He’ll learn how we play. He has a habit of tucking in and leaving the wide areas uncovered too.

When he gets it right his crossing is probably the best in the team. The ball across for O’Hare first half was excellent too. It’s one thing I wish Maatsen would do, we don’t fill the box with aerial threat so the silly floated balls are never going to work. Hard and low and see what happens for me.

TIL one post in a match thread is going on and on.

Another ten games.

Yeah that’s what I mean. It’s a dilemma because Waghorn adds so much to our overall play but doesn’t seem to be on the end of chances and Walker comes on when we aren’t creating so many chances. I think Walker either needs to add to his build up play or Györkeres style start picking the ball up...

Kiwis are stupid fruit.

I can’t decide with Walker if bulking up has lost him a yard of pace that was one of his strengths. I’d still rather a chance fell to him than say Waghorn, but he’s not involved enough and not making things happen. As you say he’s not coming on when we’re on top either. I’d like to see him...

Yeah I liked him last season and like Walker and Godden thought he has good goal scoring record but maybe needed chances creating for him. He’s a one man goal machine this year though.

You don’t rate Walker but rate Hyam, says it all. Opinions eh? (Walker was our top scorer last season FYI)

Some of our cross field balls were stunning last night. There was one where we switched it left then switched it right that was beautiful.

So I should say in match threads “he’s crap (but this only applies to his performance in this game we’re commenting on right now and may change in the future and this is in no way a statement on him as a human or his underlying potential)”?

What I wrote was that Moore was a gamble because he hadn’t played for ages and had never consistently performed at this level. And he was terrible first few games. Once he settled in he’s been outstanding, happy to hold my hands up on that one. It’s not like some on here with Sheaf or Maatsen...

😂 Firstly, don’t let me GF hear you say about the “sh” thing. They don’t get why people think they talk like that at all. Username was picked years ago as generic internet username. It’s a bastardisation of “it’s me”. Yeah I’m sure a players personality has an effect. Bit like Ronaldo V Messi...

Well yeah, that’s what football forums are about. I’d rather be black and white than all black or all white though.

First half at Millwall he was awful 🤷🏻‍♂️ Players play badly for all sorts of reasons. There’s always an excuse. Take it the other way, Hyam, who I generally don’t rate, was outstanding yesterday and really made me question my judgement that he’s not up to upper championship level. That said...
