YES.....really terrible. Sorry to lose the previous walk out music which was Arcade Fire's excellent Wake Up. This new stuff is bloody awful.

Stalbansclaret

Legs is the answer to the OP’s question I would think. I would like to see all 3 play tbh with McNeil and Cornet/JBG either side in a 4-5-1. I actually thought Brownhill was really excellent second half yesterday with massive work rate and some neat passing too.

Stalbansclaret

Pope 6 Lowton 7 Tarkowski 8 Mee 7 Taylor 7 JBG 6 Brownhill 7...anonymous first half but the best I've seen him second half when he was a big factor in our dominating territory Westwood 5 ..I'm really annoyed with him for the foul for the free kick. Not hindsight as said it as soon as he did it. Huge...

Stalbansclaret

I thought Brownhill was absolutely excellent second half today. Seemed to be everywhere ,won/intercepted countless balls and drove forward well too. Only criticism is I want him to shoot more..maybe I'm still clinging to that wonder goal he scored at Millwall.

Excellent news. Some people consistently underestimate the miracle he has worked, and so far sustained, for us.

They were worse than they are now and he was playing regular Premier League football.

Wasn't he positionally up against Snodgrass though , whom Strachan preferred and,in fairness, was very decent at that time.

Stalbansclaret

It strikes me that there are likely to be more League Clubs than usual who having by then conceded that they're not in the promotion races will be looking to cash in on one or two of their better players? Pwehaps but nowadays so many clubs stay in contention for the play-offs deep into the season.

Stalbansclaret

Whatever they happen to be officially called it's pretty obvious the OP means the big pictures of former favourite players in fairness!

Good news if they are going back up.

No need to watch the film after watching that trailer !! One of my pet peeves is film trailers that tell the whole story of the film, or near to it, and that is a good example. The only bit it didn't show was the broken neck accident but we all know that happened anyway.

Stalbansclaret

Fantastic in the Wire as Omar. Must watch the whole thing again at some point as it's been a few years now. Ironic if drugs have been instrumental in his death.

Ha ha..I love that the Brazilians allowed the game to get underway before the officials came onto the pitch to raise the issue of the 4 non-quarantiners.

I find it incredible that Wembley is full for this game. I would no more pay, and travel, to watch this tedious foregone conclusion than I’d buy a ST at Ewood.

We did the same against Brighton, but we didn't have Lennon then. We blew it today not because of Lennon, but because we're a w@nk team, and we'll struggle to cling on to survival by our fingernails just like in every other season. Is this a serious post ?

Only on here would a post praising the supporters for going to an away match in a competition we've only ever shown contempt for be nitpicked like this. There's a reason I stopped posting as much. In fairness it's not nit-picking. You emphasised that you thought the team selection reflected contemp...

I thought it was a dive and was surprised the subject was not even raised on MOTD2. If fact there was only one brief replay of the incident.

100pc agree. I instantly thought he had dived into the keeper and ridiculous that no one questioned this.

Stalbansclaret

Seems to have gone quiet re the possible signing of Aaron Lennon. Perhaps we're waiting to make sure that we get Cornet in before the transfer window shuts. And if we don't then maybe offer Lennon a 3 month contract? Maybe playing the PR game as announcing Lennon AFTER signing Cornet would be a muc...

Can't see any chance of us chasing this. Sibley 8 n.o. at close of play I reckon.

Stalbansclaret

That's poor if so (I couldn't go on Saturday). Also trust we won't turn into one of those (many) clubs who read out the home line-up in the tone of someone who has just been told they have won the National Lottery jackpot but then switch to full-on funeral director for the away team.

There’s a difference, I take it you’re not looking to invest in a larger house I’m amazed that the deal to purchase the club actually went through, our former custodians played a blinder for themselves.

And another one for Wood, against Honduras this time. My mate’s description …Breaks away from his marker to get on the end of a cross and hammers home in to the roof of the net. Unfortunately looks like Honduras are going to win 3-2, though NZ going out and Woody coming home is ideal for us I suppose.

Stalbansclaret

Top Burnley fan there...."Brownhill is crap".

This is the kind of insight and depth of understanding of what it takes to become a top-level footballer that I log on to this message board for.

Stalbansclaret

Seen it now and it's a really neat finish. NZ player shoots from edge of box, it deflects to Wood about 8 yards out centrally and, as the commentator says, "two awesome touches" and it's in the net.

Stalbansclaret

All over...National hero !!

Just had a WhatsApp from my pal in NZ saying that Woody has put them one up in their Olympic game v South Korea.

Once Gianni Infantino wakes up with a camel's head in his bed I think you'll find this bid will be quickly accepted.

I did ! It doesn't feature in the video but there is no finer sight than Nick Pope coming out to claim a cross ....ideally in the 91st minute when we are one goal up.

The best penalty I have ever seen , better even than Maguire's on Sunday, was Chris Wood's in the last minute at home to Wolves near the end of the 2019-20 season. An absolute rocket into the "postage stamp" of the top corner and not even the beast Donnarumma would have got within a metre of it. Ras...

Isn't it still the case that there is no limit on loans from overseas clubs ?
I think that's why Fulham were able to have so many loanees last season (much good it did them).

Stalbansclaret

That was good but I think the immediate aftermath of the previous game..away at Reading...was an even bigger "high" of euphoria. Probably because it was floodlit , we were packed into one corner of the ground and had had two screamers scored directly in front of us.
