I may end up being proven to be wrong, but Rushworth seems ring-rusty rather than poor. Of course, whichever one of those it truly is is an issue right now.

Ffs. What an odd deflection that was

Torp and Haji still fighting for the Championship top scorer!

Not sure why Rushworth's getting shit, but would have to watch it back. Regardless, we're cutting them open almost at will. As long as we keep playing like this we'll be fine.

Well, at least we'll probably score another 4 or 5.

I can get on board with him pulling a cat from a bag, or even a rabbit from a hat, but even for our lord and saviour Sir Douglas of Bling, a cat from a hat might be a miracle too far.

We've got a clean sheet record of 40% so far this season. It's not all doom and gloom.

Tbf, as soon as the better players came on we dominated. Hopefully we can get some slightly better back-up in the next few days.

Haji was mercurial then. Amazing run.

Time to get the big guns on

Not specific to this game, but what do we think of Brau so far?

I mean, clearly I'm going to watch the game because it's City, but I kind of resent the need for me to spend the time watching what is basically reserve team football. It's just a fairly pointless competition at this stage. I'd almost prefer them to draw lots and start at round 3.

We're also the leading scorers in the EPL, even though L1 and L2 have played 2 more games..!

Fair play to this young lad. Takes some bollocks to face up to furious supporters.

He's no longer just a central midfielder, he's a bonafide footballing wizard.

That was my thinking - a bit like how MR used to stumble upon winning formations, perhaps Tatsu's injury means we've stumbled upon a winning line-up. Early days, of course, but it's a definite possibility.

I thought we'd miss Sakamoto, but actually this current setup looks impressively fluid. BTA has been excellent so far, long may it last.

What we've got to remember is that the Arena has been underinvested in for a long time. Frasers have done a decent job tbf, but there's still loads to do to improve it. It'll take time - probably a few years - before it's really functioning fully. Can't wait for the Facebook posts slagging Doug...

It must be a nightmare for opposing managers. How do you stop our attack when it's this fluid? So many threats from so many areas. Wright, EMC, BTA, Rudoni, Torp, all are capable of scoring from fast, one-touch play, and then you have Big Bobby Thomas who can nod them in from set-pieces. I'm...

I know we're only 3 games in, but two players as joint highest scorer in the Championship with 3, and two players second-highest with 2. And one player joint top assist maker with 3, and one joint second highest with 2.
