Had a decent half, Foster.

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:18 pm

Foster is working hard and has some nice touches

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:18 pm

Twine seems to have figured out what Foster needs. Some great through balls for him.

Another corner, FK deflected behind

Corner Clarets
We are finishing on the front foot

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:19 pm

if we can get midfield additions we will do well this season

agreenwood · Post by **agreenwood** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:20 pm

For what it’s worth, the friendlies have been intense and we’ve looked pretty decent.

Bit of a worry that Benson & Cullen continue to be absent. No idea how we’ll line up next month.

I’d like to see Koleosho and Tella in a foot race…

So unlucky Foster, great ball by Andros.

Carport · Post by **Carport** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:21 pm

Foster growing on me!

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:21 pm

Really starting to see Foster’s pace and strength now. Promising.

HahaYeah · Post by **HahaYeah** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:21 pm

Gutted for Fozzy there.

Spiral · Post by **Spiral** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:21 pm

Great pass through to Foster from Townsend. Sign him up please.

Steddyman · Post by **Steddyman** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:21 pm

Foster, Twine and Kolo having an excellent game. Foster just needs a goal for confidence.

ClaretAL · Post by **ClaretAL** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:22 pm

Foster mom for me

simonclaret · Post by **simonclaret** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:22 pm

We've been the better team again for what it's worth

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:22 pm

Foster really working hard, just not coming off for him. Very promising though. Really want it to click for him.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:22 pm

Foster panic at the last, after great work.

StayingDown4Ever · Post by **StayingDown4Ever** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:22 pm

He just fell over

Swizzlestick · Post by **Swizzlestick** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:22 pm

Townsend again showing some real quality and drive. Think the contract is a given.

Cork gets his booking

Spiral · Post by **Spiral** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:23 pm

Lol Cork booking

Swizzlestick · Post by **Swizzlestick** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:24 pm

I will never tire of those driving runs from Beyer

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:24 pm

Cork booked

Steddyman · Post by **Steddyman** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:24 pm

Cork however is past it. Sloppy passes and a card a game on average.,

Burnley Ace · Post by **Burnley Ace** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:24 pm

Foster still giving 109% after 87 mins

tally · Post by **tally** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:24 pm

What is it with Cork?

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:24 pm

Genuinely dislike Real Betis now…

Tossers

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:24 pm

Imagine a world coming soon where, with 30 to go, when drawing and chasing a game, we can sub on Benson and Kolo for Zaroury and Redmond.

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:24 pm

2 mins extra time

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:25 pm

What is it with Cork?

He's 34 and never had pace to begin with.

Footballing intelligence, technique, composure, reading of the game, passing all still there but he's just too slow off the mark now.

Ha, did an edit before you posted that (just in case anyone is wondering if gawthorpe_view has randomly burst into a musical number Mary Poppins style, I originally typed sing him up)

Studs into the back of Townsend's calf. This lot are really dirty bunch.

simonclaret · Post by **simonclaret** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:26 pm

1-1 FT, looking good two weeks out

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:26 pm

They looked knackered!

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:27 pm

Enjoyed that.

Betis were dicks, but far better for us to have such a competitive game with a bit of an edge to it than a docile kick about.

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:27 pm

Jack Cork will do well to avoid being booked every game.

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:27 pm

Re Corks booking, how many Betis players have done exactly the same tonight, dragging back a player who was getting away.

aggi · Post by **aggi** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:27 pm

So 5 games until Cork is suspended next season.

Think Twine will feature more than some expect next season.

Mainly though I've found the commentary with no crowd noise really disconcerting.

HahaYeah · Post by **HahaYeah** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:27 pm

Crap first half became watchable in the second interesting performances from Kolo,Fozzy,Twine.

gandhisflipflop · Post by **gandhisflipflop** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:28 pm

Foster was always a player for this season as he is a player who will look to get in behind. He couldn’t do that last season

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:28 pm

different type of game to Benfica but another really difficult test, Betis are an excellent side. More than decent from us
