Fletcher still has that great first touch & vision.

There is no way you can compare the teams

We would absolutely be on more than 6 points with the way we set up

They are not streets ahead of us at all

'Proper' derby. Proper footy too. Atmosphere on the ground must have been electric! Sounded good on tv.

More Forster's error IMO. If you see a man in the penalty area facing his own goal with an opponent charging towards him from behind, you really shouldn't give him the ball. THB should have played it out for a corner if he'd known that Amad was behind him.

Not sure how anyone can watch it and conclude that it wasn't THB's error. Even he knew instantly.

Understand where you're coming from but that thinking is a little bit outdated with this passing out from the back style that everyone is now adamant they want to play despite 95% of the pyramid being shite at it.

An opponent charging at you is exactly what you're after, as if they were any good at it they'd shift the ball to where Amad was and then they'd have acres of space opened up. Poor touch from THB is what naffed that up.

Will have to agree to disagree on that but I reckon the only area we are better than them is the defence ,their left winger was loads better than anything we have.
