Bad thing about today: The drop in temperature after half-time

Good thing about today: Watching Matt Grimes play football

Now played every team in the league and only lost 2 games btw. Both away.
Hopefully we give Frank what he needs in Jan and we can just zip away from all of them now.

Remember when all the opposition fans were saying we're only top because we havnt played anyone yet?

I’d say we would end the new year outside the top 2 if we did. The slide will begin

35 will be imo. We managed 43 in 23 games from this point last season and we've got 51 at the halfway point of this season. We'd have to have a significant drop off to not hold on.

We've certainly played very, very well this season, but the poor results between other teams has been a real bonus.
We're the only team CONSISTENTLY scoring points.

Guess we will have to wait and see. I don’t think Lampard has really rated Simms and I think that performance will tell him what he’s always thought. You think he did well today then and really showed he wanted to be first choice?

Nice to see you and Dave having a love in as well

I think nobody really showed much other than EMC, Wright now 10 games without a goal!

Not sure why they would be so upset - they pretty much unanimously said he wasn’t very good and never passed the ball forwards.

Observations of them.

1) If Ronald was a footballer, we would have been in trouble. Boy can run but that’s it.

2) Why the fuck are they playing Galbraith at right back? They are near the bottom and trying to play inverted full backs. Proper weirdo behaviour, was bullied by EMC today but you can tell he’s a player. Needs to be in the middle.

3) Stamenic looked tidy enough on the ball but no better than what we’ve got.

Overall, thought they lacked physicality. A lot of technically good players comfortable on the ball but really poor up top.

Yeah, I thought they passed the ball around nicely, but were so slow and predictable in attack.
Better than quite a few teams we've played recently, but think we were also having a bit of an off day

Stamenic was fine, but i don’t think he would have been the game changing CM signing we expected

Thought their defence - particularly the two centre backs played well. Goalkeeper kept them in it with that 1st half save.

Just so ponderous and one dimensional going forward.

Mad when you think they offloaded Grimes and got Stamenic in.

Simmo really offered nothing today. He had a very good chance early on but was half a sleep and failed to make a run and then a sitter of a header straight into the ground. Should have been 3-0 at HT. He can't start Monday

Something I can say today that I haven't had reason to say for a while: Some great subs today. All of them were made at the right time and had a positive impact after they came on. MVE is clearly running on fumes and I'm sure I saw him asking to be subbed, KKH did very well under difficult circumstances.

A win is a win is a win is a win, as they say, definitely very nervy at times but it'll all count by the end 🩵

Just got in and must have watched a different game. We controlled the whole thing barring a chance for them in each half. A pinch of luck and we win that by 3-4. Can’t see why Brau isn’t starting before Bidwell - his prep for crossing threatens to run into minutes rather than seconds. Good win. Haji rested and a game back for some of the flu crew.

Brau doesn't look like a left back in a four to me. Bidders had a good game, apart from some of his crossing. He supported EMC very well.
