As it looks like VK has finally found his best X1, let’s not. They need as much game time together as possible.

We're playing twice a week most weeks we need to get through to the World Cup with our best 11 starting with as near to fresh legs as possible. Footballs a squad game and some of the back up players also need minutes on the pitch as at some point they will be needed

Make no mistake.
We're tanking a decent side here in this league.

First touch Zaroury is magical

Been impressed with our scouting in getting some of the overseas names like Vitinho, Beyer, Zaroury, particularly at the money they cost us

Agree Buxton
Possibly the best side we have played so far.
Also think Stoke will finish fairly high up as new manager stamps his authority on the side
All opinions though of course

Nope.
They've looked a good side, Dave.
Can see both Stoke and Sunderland becoming big sides this season.

Blackpool doing their best now to help Sheffield United back in, playing with 9 men.

One of those days for Swansea where everything has gone wrong, mind you most of their woes are due to how impressive Burnley have been.

Well, that was something of a surprise. Logging on now to see that an excellent performance is hardly 3 pages deep in comments.

Played well. Even though we haven't had our usual possession, we've made it count.

3 subs made after the red - good moves by VK; we'll see how some of the whipping boys get on.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Oct 15, 2022 4:44 pm

Bastien for Cork.
Barnes for Jay.
Benson for Zaroury,

If Sheff U go 3-3, I don't care. We're the best team and will finish above them.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Sat Oct 15, 2022 4:51 pm

Blades have one disallowed for offside. Sky reckon probably not.

When do they return, they will have one hell of a fight on their hands to get into the team.

It was strange as one point during the game, we were exactly the same on goals scored and against - but SU were top. So it might go based on games won in that situation.
