sometimes the result is everything

Yeah not the best performance but another half decent team beaten

traffic was absolute chaos. 90 minutes to drive around 16 miles from tad to park up

Results over performance for these midweek games, but I was disappointed with our lack of intensity in our duels, their goal being the prime example, but we won't play many teams as physically strong as Watford every week.

Hopefully Ramazani's injury isn't too bad, but I'd put James in if he's out. I also thought Joseph did enough to deserve a start in the next game, he gives us so much more mobility up front that Piroe just can't.

Tanaka was really good again, he's a premier league level player IMO

Another 3 points, but couldn’t help feeling slightly deflated after that. I didn’t think we’d struggle so much when Ramazani went off, but there was a noticeable difference without him. Might sound tough on Solomon, but we didn’t have the same cohesion in the final third when he came on. The big lads up front for Watford held the ball up well and started causing us some problems, in contrast to the big hole we had in the centre of the field up front. Farke has a couple of decisions to make on Saturday. As Jack said above, I’d go with Joseph up top. I’d also go with James instead of Solomon. It’s been a good start to the the season, let’s hope Farke can find the right combinations within the team to continue that momentum.

piroe is just fine in some games but last night was made for joseph.
we won't play well every game, sometimes you have to dig in and grind it out.

big 3 points

Solomon is very rusty. He needs minutes and more time in training to get his fitness up. James comes in on the right and Gnonto on left if Ramazanni out at the weekend, lets hope it's not too serious.. sounded like a sore ankle.

That was a potential banana skin last night no doubt. We put a hell of a lot into Sheff U game and you could tell.

Firpo banned for Saturday away at Bristol C.. he really does pick up too many silly bookings. i'd like to see Schmidt come in but i suspect Byram will, he doesn't seem to trust Schmidt with many minutes.

Could really do with that midfield back up coming in soon also, i do think fresh legs were needed in that midfield half way through second half last night (Rothwell looked a tad leggy). It's a lot to ask for AO and Rothwell to go full 90 mins twice a week.

said exactly that about Rothwell last night

Romano saying Josuha Guilavogui deal done ☑️

Rothwell my mom last Friday and Tanaka last night.
We must remember it has been a long time since Rothwell played two 90 minute games over a 4 day period.
It is notable that our forwards including Aaronson in particular rarely win one on one duals.

I thought he was decent against Sheffield United, especially in the 2nd half, but usually if he doesn't score he doesn't do very much, I think the amount of work Aaronson does off the ball masks how poor Piroe is out of possession.

A decent set of results overall, Sunderland are giving me Ipswich vibes, everything is going for them at the minute.

Said the same the other day about Sunderland. They definitely aren’t a flash in the pan… as you say a lot going their way including the result v us..

decent results though tonight.

3 pieces of huge fortune in successive games. can't last.

and piroe was excellent at Sunderland.
