We don’t play with that same freedom that we did last season yet. The players have all vocalised that they haven’t hit their peak, and we can all see it. There’s a lot of hesitation in the final third and we really rely on those defence splitting balls from deep. Boro impose themselves on the opposition similarly to how we did last season.

We’re not getting top 2 without it so wish away. although I will say, if you’re not winning the league then Wembley is the next best thing.

It’s easier to look fluid when you’ve got the confidence that the chances you create will be put away. They created a ridiculous amount of chances under Hellberg last season they just couldn’t score enough of them. Look at that first leg as a prime example. EDIT: If they had Lankshear last year the EFL wouldn’t have needed to kick us out of the playoffs.

Was fairly obvious if they signed a keeper and striker they were going to be right up there. We need to up our levels, but luckily we play them twice and we need to get revenge.

I took my nipper to his first match last season when he was 5 and I’ve taken him to a few more this season. One thing I have noticed is the one time we sat up in the Kingsland on the half way line and he could see the whole pitch better he was glued to the match. If we sit in the itchen north and the ball is up the other end a lot he loses interest a bit because he can’t see what’s going on as well. I know it’s more expensive but if you can I’d recommend as close to half way as possible for the first one so she can see it all better and will hopefully remember all of her first match.

Ah yes the season we scored 0 goals away in Europe because the league was more important. A real missed opportunity to not get a once in a lifetime win in the San Siro. Even if by some miracle we get back there before they knock it down, we’ll never play an inter or AC team as average as that.

Some people never experienced the madness of the fake season ticket card era at the back of blocks 41 and 42. Not sure I got to actually stand by my seat for about 2 seasons.

For a team that consistently plays well with those balls over the top to someone playing off the shoulder, I refuse to believe we were offside THAT many times in the first half. Bolton must have had the best offside trap in world football in that first half.

What did he need confirmation of? He was staring right at it and had the better view.

Couldn’t finish his dinner

He scored 6 goals in 32 games. Let’s not get carried away here.

No. Also a shame that Brooks is cup tied for this one.

Be careful

No cap

Thats a bigger challenge at the moment unless Swansea fall off a bit and so far we’re the only team capable of beating them.
