  1. Ok @Comrade 86 I’ll sort it. Thanks for your help @angieram.

  4. Excellent train-spotting Sir! What’s in your flask?
  5. Just how hard do you believe his tackle to be 🤷‍♂️
  6. Superb Nick. Scraves, Flanges & Ballions, let’s make sea of black & white in the spirit of @B4ev6is @B4’s Sister.
  7. Until last night I thought him a defensive barndoor but he’s clearly on a wavelength with Dwight and so also a rangey passer with 2 exquisite passes to set up goal-scoring openings. Would definitely cut it at Championship level and hope he comes permanently for next season. He clearly loves it here and that counts for a lot. Get him signed.
  8. 1Wildsmith: 6 Mostly redundant. Left exposed by his mates for the goal which was Reading’s only shot on target. 35Nelson: 7 Quiet brilliance. 5Bradley: 6 Should’ve snuffed out their chance; played even though unwell apparently. 2Wilson: 6 A bit Don Quixote at times but has the prettiest tap-dancing steps which are great fun to watch. 6Cashin: 7.5 Masterful centre-halfmanship and smashed a header against the post. 23Ward: 7 Nip, tuck, top & side-spin; a sort of snooker-playing footballer with a pearler of a ball to Gayle for 1-0. 27Blackett-Taylor: 6 A silky 5 minute glide about late on. 32Adams: 8 Not just a defensive Rottweiler but now a quarterbacking distribution centre with exquisite long-rangers to his new friend Dwight. They’re going to play padel ball together. 4Hourihane: 7.5 We are seeing a seasoned professional who used every ounce of experience to impact the game. Beautiful penalty under real pressure. 12Smith: 6.5 Twinkled his toes and neatened up the loose threads at the game’s end. 17Sibley: 6.5 Definitely in the wing-back groove now; power-driver flew over. Should’ve stopped the cross for their goal. 7Barkhuizen 7.5 New found form; stole the ball & provided express delivery. 25Gayle: 8 McGoldrick-esque. Rapid speed of thought, balletic feet and acceleration. Will tally double figures in new found twilight. 10Waghorn: 5.5 Banjo & bovine backside. Lift the banjo …& swing. Try to hit it. Never mind. 11Méndez-Laing: 7 Ample threat always prowling; enjoying a little less pressure to perform as others step up. 3Forsyth: 6 Given a canter to re-acquaint us. Overall deserved win. We’ve acquired a new dimension with Dwight and Ebou forming a telepathic football connection which promises much. There’s a new-found focus and belief and we didn’t seem to miss Max. Everything’s in our power now.

  12. No worries @Comrade 86. I’ll post some summaries again soon. Thanks for clarifying.

  14. You need too adopt this face if/when Derby score:…
  15. Poor formation for an away day breakfast plate imho; sausage should be between the defensive beans and rotated to prevent the midfield scrambled egg being encumbered with defensive duties. Egg should be deployed further forward and ahead of the hash-browns, with the mushrooms out wide but given license to cut in and play as a number 10. Really don’t believe the combination of fried & scrambled eggs ever works; they’re just too similar. At least one of the slices of toast should’ve been given a starting position to give added structure to the team, supporting the bacon which appears somewhat isolated and awkwardly placed in the way of the hashbrowns. Bizarrely part of the beans seem to currently be deployed as a wing-back…I can’t see that working at all. I’m liking the look of the fresh orange on the bench but not sure it’s got enough in the tank to last the whole 90 minutes. Just don’t think that line-up is going to cut the mustard today. Really need the lad Brown on there too, just to spice it up a bit.
  16. We’re on our way, we’re on our waaaaayy!…
