How ****ing good is Nunez?? Guy’s a joke.

 

Different class isn't he? Every pass he plays just looks so perfectly weighted.

Really enjoying seeing Gibbs play (Don Goodman noticing too). He has been so calm and measured. Proper midfielder.

Agreed, I really like him, the one thing I'd like to see him improve is sometimes he gets caught ballwatching and looks surprised to see a pass come to him. Would like him to be a little more proactive rather than reactive.

To give credit to Millwall they have defended very well, even if that's parkring 11 at the back for peroids. We have to work out how to attack against however as the majority of teams in this divison will be doing the same.. And wild shots from distance tryring to hit the highlights reel with a world class thunder**** strike is clearly not working

[RugbyCanary 94]

Arrrrrgggghhhhhhh 433 does not suit these players ffs!!!! Dowell, Nunez to fecking deep. If I can see it why can't smith ffs

[Gibbo 131]

Dowell not fast enough or physical enough for this game.  Not saying he can't play a part through the season, but this isn't the game for him.

No shots on target and nearly 40 minutes in. Looks like we need Viagra as sponsors for this one as at the moment everyone's firing blanks.

 

I was expecting that sentence to finish "get it up the other end" or something, as Viagra does not fix firing blanks!

Nunez is really good. Definitely my new favourite.

I dunno, my main entertainment this half is watching Kenny bust a gut numerous times to overlap him only to get roundly ignored. The look on his face 😂 

Lemme guess, did he point?

[Pyro Pete 1,889]

Looks like my 3-2 prediction is way off.

[Christoph Stiepermann 1,131]

Really enjoying this, proper competitive game of football, Millwall defending really well and making it hard for us. Pukki to come on later and score the winner

Don’t think that’s the issue, far too slow to build up and they are getting 10 behind the ball. It’s super hard to break down, hopefully a bit more open or we catch them on the break second half.

Nah his face kind of looked like this 😩

Think you needed to be about 20 yards away like me to get the full majesty.

Did I ever mention my three favourite managers were Egil Olsen, Helenio Herrera, and George Graham?

[Mason 47 1,373]

We don't keep it going for long enough but some of the one-touch interplay on show is wonderful. Vital we start opening these up with it and getting real chances on goal.

Not Peter Grant, Glenn Roeder and Bryan Gunn then?

He was a proud Maoist wasn't he?

[keelansgrandad 6,679]

Pleased with the progress in midfield. Max has been poor with his delivery. I would like to see Teemu on and benefitting from Nunez and Sinani's ability to slide the pass into the channel in the box,  Teemu's bread and butter. Perhaps him on for Dowell. Gibbs is looking solid and willing to get forward rather than just sit. Sarge and Onel need to improve their first touch though.

Somebody please throw Don Goodman off the scaffolding. He won't get hurt. His hair will cushion the floor. Millwall, bleddy Millwall is all he can see

Beautiful poised  for a goal every 9 minutes now

[GodlyOtsemobor 2,248]

Jesus Christ, Rob Butler we've played 45minutes and apparently we have a definitive answer to can we live without Pukki and it's a no.... 🥴

But not much else.

Your best match report yet... 😜

[Calle 16]

I´m not sure which formation that would suit us? 3-4-1-2 maybe with Aarons on the right and Gianolis (when fit) on the left? Would fit Hayden, Sara and Nunez in the middle along with both Pukki and Sargent.

Olsen was a former member of the Norwegian Communist Party and that was Maoist if I recall, yes. Was definitely one of the very first managers to use data.

[GodlyOtsemobor 2,248]

I hope Andy Marshall got some stick 

[robertociNCFC 98]

GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL

[GodlyOtsemobor 2,248]

Can we not live without Pukki Mr butler 🤣 

 

USA USA USA USA USA!! 

THIS KID SARGENT LOOKS THE BUSINESS 😉

[Drazen Muzinic 1,444]

Sarge is going to be excellent this season.

 

You can see the confidence grow in the last 2/3 games.

[Disco Dales Jockstrap 1,891]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

[sonyc 5,492]

Now Sarge ...THAT was a Teemu finish!👏👏
