Re: Have Faith in the Project!!

Some nicer play today, but we still failed to really capitalise against another pretty poor side. For all people bang on about the Premier League going up another level each season, there have been some pretty ordinary sides at the Turf. Less scattergun recruitment, ensuring that we filled the key a...

Probably an 8.

Alongside the likes of Esteve and Cullen, who I thought were also very good today, without forgetting Vitinho’s excellent contribution (saving a likely goal at one end, which lead to the second).
