Ridiculously open game so far. Entertaining but stressful in equal measure. Could literally end up anything

Not 1-1 though, or 0-0

Really feeling like MVE needs a bit of time out the team. Third game on the bounce he’s been a bit all over the gaff.

He had a spell like this end of last season if I remember correctly. Looks to me like he needs resting

Just keep getting an error message.

Imagine if only we had a proven championship striker training with us that was a free agent that we could sign.....

For a wage our owner deemed better spent elsewhere. It's Bamford not Kane ffs

 

[covcity4life]

Leicester are gonna get pumped today

If we win this it's massive. A draw still not bad result but after how we started it would be bit dissapoitning. We just need to settle down

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Both him and Saka have been pretty poor

Saka has been OK. They're closing him down quickly which is restricting his chance to get on the ball and do anything. He could've had an assist the ball into Eccles for his header was a quality cross.

and wrights due in the next week

Boy or girl?

 

[procdoc]

Strange half. We look like scoring every time we attack, but so do they

 

[Jamesimus]

Would be nice if we could garner a little more control of possession, but we look like scoring whenever we go forward.

Whereas Boro need to make 200 short passes to create half a chance or shoot from distance.

I think both teams have been good / bad in different ways!

 

[EalingSB]

enjoyed the sky commentary comparing Simms to Thierry Henry.

Danny Fox said the same on CWR.

 

[skybluecam]

Will Still must be fuming lol

 

[fatso]

What have I told you...?

Sorry.

Must try harder!

Ridiculous
Ridiculous
Ridiculous

 

[CCFCSteve]

Where did it say that?

I saw two weeks mentioned at the weekend so would hopefully expect him back for Ipswich

 

[clint van damme]

Its Ridiculous not rediculous

It's it's, not its.

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Good thing that the Charlton bubble seems to have firmly burst. Hoping that continues.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

It's it's, not its.

youre sentence makes no sense.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We led by a goal at HT at Wrexham where we were under the cosh, have we learned?

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Hope BTA is ok

 

[Shannerz]

That was a strange half football. We were under so much pressure, but probably should be out of sight.

I don't like how deep we are here. There's no out ball and it just keeps coming back at us. Apart from the goal (which was an excellent finish) they've not really had a proper chance, but when a team has that much pressure, all it takes a bit of a break in the box. When we do get out though, we look like we could score every time.

Simms has been absolutely superb.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Decent enough half. Got at them and scored two good goals. Had plenty of other chances too.

Annoying we let them back into it and there are more goals in this game. Hopefully we can be a bit more clinical than we have been in the last half hour.

 

[mmttww]

any idea on how long Hajis going to be?

Longer than me, probs. shorter than Dublin, though.

Imagine we weren't winning 2-1 and the bloke you wanted to replace hadn't scored a wondergoal

 

[CovveeBreak]

Sadly game feels destined for a draw but hope to be proven wrong (in our favour obvs).

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Cracking game of football. Two teams going for it, no play-acting etc. Boro have had plenty of the ball but we’ve created the better chances. Game on.

have to say if we do go up I wouldn’t mind one bit if ‘Boro came with us - quite like them and they play the game the way it should be played

 

[Mercian In Anglia]

Fair fucks to Boro, a lot of teams would have folded after that start, can see why they're up up there. We look lethal on the break though, hopefully Frank & co will tweak a couple of things, we nab one on the counter early doors and can see it out.

Ref's a twat for giving that foul against Torp.

Who's recent injury record has been horrendous...

 

[coop]

Need an early goal second half don't think I can take watching this.

 

[MikeyMoo]

We might see Simms and Wright start at some point.

 

[shmmeee]

Does anyone actually have any idea on how long Hajis going to be?

Andy Turner said maybe next match but in answer to your question: no.

6' 3"

 

[RegTheDonk]

Simms has been brilliant this half.

Work rate much much better lately, lovely touches, scoring boots back on too. Hope he keeps this up could be very limited now with bta and hadji crocked.

 

[covcity4life]

He played well just a few days ago?

 

[quinn1971]

Looked like hamstring for Asante

 

[clint van damme]

youre sentence makes no sense.

It does. And it should have been You're, not 'you're'.
If you're going to be a grammar pedant you can't afford to make mistakes!

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

To calm the HT nerves switched over to the Leicester game
