Check out the NJ thread. Tis’ amusing.

Point was more AMN was the right player for that game, rather than being conservative with KWP. Where we can get at teams, KWP is superb, but he gets outdone defensively too often. I don’t think KWP would’ve contained them and broke play up half as well as AMN ended up doing.

Turns out he was in Dorset, with his boots on, pulling a hamstring.

On KWP there, I was going to reply to Aust to say I think we’d actually have been weaker defensively with KWP over AMN. Don’t get me wrong, I love KWP, but yesterday was always going to be about soaking up pressure, holding up the ball, waiting for the moment and making it count. AMN was superb in nearly everything he done yesterday and a lot of what made it so good KWP just doesn’t have in his locker and wouldn’t have suited how we wanted to set out. Leeds is a totally different ball game. KWP straight in for me.

Good old Jan is known to offer a helping hand to opposing teams.

With the options we've got, Moi offers something in these games against the big guns which others don't, which is how he assists defensively. He was superb in the reverse fixture (probably my MOTM) and I fully expected him to be in the XI today. AMN was outstanding last week and was again so today. My MOTM today.

Feels like a certainty, right. Lad is unbelievably talented. Been a pleasure to see him at this stage of his career. Think there'll be the big guns all over Europe clambering over one another for him. By "all over Europe", I mean Chelsea, Real Madrid and PSG.

Buy back in region of £40m but also includes a sell-on clause should he go elsewhere. Imagine the sell-on will be quite hefty as they were reported to be reluctant to let him leave in first place.

I thought he had that air about him beforehand. Spoke clearly about going there to win and sounded like he genuinely believed, even if none of us did. 🤣

We've got Selles... Ruben Selles. I just don't think you understand. He's gonna keep us up, and win the F.A Cup, We've got Ruben Selles!

I think we'd have won last week if we'd had anyone but NJ in charge, to be honest.

He was very good today. He and the back line looked every bit in tune with eachother.

Wow. Didn’t know we had a performance like that in us. Huge result on any day, but with results around us, even bigger. Selles, take a bow. Every man on the pitch, join him. AMN monstrous at centre-half. Bazunu vastly improved too.

He has, again. Genuinely looks a Rolls-Royce of a centre back. 😂

He wouldn’t.

I cannot fathom how a professional footballer can be so bad at picking out a pass, as Moi Elyounoussi. If it isn’t backwards, he must have a 100% fail rate?

Don’t say Welsh. Warrior gets offended.

I do love Jeremy Clarkson. Have you watched Clarkson's Farm? Tis' right good. No idea who the other fella is but if you tell me I'll like him I'm all for it.

Was he not just referring to the Welsh twat instead of the Danish twat, so we knew which twat he was referencing? Am I allowed to say he? Or does that offend you?

There’s not a chance NJ has kids. You cannot have kids and still be that self-obsessed.

Very notable he mentioned numerous managers, including three mentions for Ralph in the first pre-curfew section alone, but didn’t once mention NJ. Selles does deserve a few games grace before we start to judge him, to be fair. Very unlikely on the run we’re on that he is going to produce immediate fireworks. Although, we’ve been that bad that just subtle improvements will probably stand out like a sore thumb.

Well, he doesn’t come across like a complete and utter shitcunt, which is an improvement.

Funny how they disappeared as soon as the prick was pumped hey! 😂

It's walways been there, but nobody had ever needed to use it until Nathan Jones graced the Premier League.

At this point Trousers, I'm tempted to apply to have a crack with him. So... probably, yes.
