WD40 720 Posted August 15, 2022 Unusual circumstances but that was the best football we may have ever played under Farke. The Leeds away game in promotion season was obviously a great performance, but this was liquid football. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) It’s the equivalent of PNE at home in 2018/19. A scrappy win is more than fine, hopefully it’ll settle things down and get them going. Edited August 15, 2022 by Branston Pickle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the Germans 1,070 Posted August 15, 2022 It's pathetic as a grown man, but watching that, just made me a little sad. I fear that that team, manager and season may be the best I ever see. What I wouldn't give for Farke, Buendia and Skipp back (in that order). 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,120 Posted August 15, 2022 What I'd give to have another midfielder like Skipp again, that driving run he did to win the penalty, we just never normally sign players who want to do things like that, sometimes its much better to just get on the ball, take the game by the scruff off the neck and run at teams! It's what PL level players do, they'll only pass short, backwards or sideways if they have to but first thought is always get on the ball, drive forward and make things happen, we badly miss a player like that. Obviously Bunedia was a cut above as well, but replacing him with similar quality is always going to be hard . Such a shame what happened to Cantwell as well, he had his best ever season then just fell completely off a cliff, even now he's trying but doesn't look like anywhere near the same player.

It was a tiny little moment, but I was inordinately excited by Sara's pass and lung-bursting run into the box in the build-up to Sinani's goal against Birmingham. Not quite what you were talking about, but the desire was there... https://youtu.be/Y7U8hbENffk?t=75 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I do wonder what effort we made to keep the two players? We understand Buendia may have wanted to leave or was promised a move but I wonder if offering him £60-70K a week might have made it different?

Mason 47 1,351 Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) I remember it well as had to do a zoom call for local league football at the same time. My webcam wasn't working that night as I recall. Best bit of the whole thing was Keoghs reaction after one of the later goals where he's clearly raging at his teammate that we were impossible to stop Edited August 15, 2022 by Mason 47 Edited for delicious photo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's a Spurs fan and was told he was in their plans for the season. A bigger club, challenging at the top, with more money and happens to be the team he supports, we never stood a chance of getting him permanently. A loan would have been possible if he didn't look like he'd play, that was our best hope. We replaced an absolutely brilliant player with Billy "Emperors New Clothes" Gilmour.

We should have built the team around him and promised him quality investments to match his talents rather than wasting it all on young developable talent for the future.

He jumped ship knowing it would never happen here I know what you're saying, but investments to match his talents would cost £40-50m+ (we sold him too cheap imo, when players who are yet to achieve anything are being quoted at £40m+ these days). So that would never have been an option, as much as I would wish it had been! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely, I think we could have given it a go but think you're right in that even buying those we had the means to (£10/15M players) wouldn't have been enough. Can't blame him for going to a team that has money to spend. It will be interesting to see how he develops there as he has been far from a regular which is interesting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well I bet they would've brought in a similar replacement. Not a completely different type of player. Still.not over the fact we replaced him with an out and out winger.

RugbyCanary 94 Posted August 16, 2022 Watching that back hurts!! But.......I do feel.....hear me out in this....... Nunez COULD be the new buendia, dowell needs more game time in this league. Sara gets fit, Hayden screening. It's not all doom and gloom. Yes a scrappy 1-0 tonight will help, but, there is light at the end of the tunnel (or is it a train?) 🫣 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
