This is the state of modern football. A player can be out powered, and paced but falls on tje ball and gets a free kick. 120 mill buys you that.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

You can’t afford to pass up the chances we did earlier but it’s been an encouraging half.

 

[glasgowfan]

Feeling the pressure of the fee perhaps

We paid 20 million or whatever for an excellent keeper, not a miracle man

 

[Samueljames1991]

same, i mean they have almost a quarter of a billion in just 2 of their midfielders

Exactly we're all excited spending 130m they spend that on one player

 

[Matt smith]

We’ve got to learn how to earn premier league fouls

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

has Grimes touched the ball so far?

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Thomas sloppy pass

 

[Evo1883]

has Grimes touched the ball so far?

Theyve covered passing lanes and spaces and worked incredibly hard

 

[larry_david]

SOMEONE FUCKING TELL THOMAS TO STOP FUCKING ABOUT

 

[fatso]

has Grimes touched the ball so far?

Grimes, Rudoni and EMC all struggling

 

[David O'Day]

has Grimes touched the ball so far?

ffs

 

[Briles]

SOMEONE FUCKING TELL THOMAS TO STOP FUCKING ABOUT

Thomas has been great this half defensively

 

[shmmeee]

Fucking he’ll Bobby

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Theyve covered passing lanes and spaces and worked incredibly hard

Is that a ‘no’ then?

 

[JohnWH]

Anyone wanna meet up in the toilets at half time for a few smokes?

 

[Evo1883]

Rushworth great

 

[Sick Boy]

Grimes, Rudoni and EMC all struggling

Thomas and JDS both stepped up so far this season.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Nicely done Rushworth

 

[Dirk Turpin]

This the types of games you can see Cherif and Gboho making a huge impact on the counter with their pace and trickery playing off Awoniyi

 

[Evo1883]

Is that a ‘no’ then?

11

 

[chiefdave]

That's more like it from Rushworth

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Good save Rushworth

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

What do we think, draw salvageable or not?

 

[Sick Boy]

Their support sounds awful.

 

[mark82]

Feeling the pressure of the fee perhaps

Made a couple of pretty decent saves now.

 

[Evo1883]

What do we think, draw salvageable or not?

Anything can happen

 

[San Francisco]

Their support sounds awful.

Touristy and soulless

 

[StrettoBoy]

Rushworth has the measure of Haaland again

 

[Paul Anthony]

Their support sounds awful.

It always does there. I've never heard it sound good on TV.

 

[mark82]

Looked like he took MVE then.

 

[Samueljames1991]

What do we think, draw salvageable or not?

Nah but very promising with this new system going forward and our two hardest games out the way

 

[jordan210]

Great tackle by Thomas coms acting like it should be a pen if he went down

 

[Skybluedogwood]

has Grimes touched the ball so far?

He took a short corner. Got to switch him for Yirenki

 

[Nick]

Another counter from mve bottling it

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Keep it at 1-0 as long as possible and we can get something second half, only takes a set piece or penalty/red card
