Lee On Solent Saint

The mark of a good team, not be at your best but still win. First half an hour or so, really under the pump. Very fortunate not to one or two down by then. Ballard, who many wanted back here was guilty of missing a few decent openings for them. Larin is just a beast at this level, if he stays fit and we continue to create what we do, he'll be Champioship top scorer. The best thing, we will get even better. We've not hit anything like top gear yet.

To be fair, he did that Tuesday night as well.

Also interesting that he is out of contract at the end of this season. No word on any talks regarding extensions.

I wonder because he never played the game to any great standard, that he puts too much faith in condition stats, and makes the subs that he does. Leo didn't look that fucked when he came off on Saturday.

Seems the optimism was short lived.

Agreed. Far more to his game than Edoize.

Not even a sub for Villa today.

This must be his Sunderland away performance.

Trouble is, Mubama had a worse half an hour than Larin. We needed a similar player to Stewart coming in. If we wanted so much to bring in Mubama we should have at the expense of Dobbin, who can in no way replace Azaz either.

Whatever

We seem to apply this in the majority of our games. No reason why they could have lasted until around the 70th minute mark. Just hands the impetus and momentum to the opposition. I could understand taking your best players off when three up, but not only one nil up.

I very much doubt that 17 would be starting for a side that had ambitions to be promoted automatically.

Don't really remember their keeper having to make a save of any note. I don't see the likes of Wolves and West Ham not winning there.

We might very well regret not signing him.

Bree didn't exactly cover himself in glory either
