Such an odd match against Bristol Rovers. We played our reserves, 11 changes from the Sunderland win. Not sure if Bristol Rovers had their full strength team out but they certainly have some great attacking names in their squad.
However, it was like a pre-season friendly. Neither team seemed to...
Very tough match against stoke on Saturday. Buzzing to be back, should be a sell out.
They're a team that I expect to be in the play offs. They've made some good signings.
Sunday showed us that we really lack depth. When Harness and Ladapo came on, we could hardly keep the ball. Fingers...
Jesus Christ, what a win. Completely different to what we’re used to. That first half I thought we were gonna get battered, but we had more shots on target in the end and think we deserved it, just. Both teams missed some big chances. Possession means nothing.
Given 2000 for Sunderland away but sold out before even season ticket holders.
More than I expected as it's on Sky and Sunday evening kick off!
Have Sunderland been giving up to 3000 or is 2000 the max these days?
You'd think his pace could be handy in this league as in theory there will be more space to exploit vs league one as teams will attack more.
Mumba, Whittaker and Hardie would be incredible on the counter attack surely!
I assume our current full strength is:
Walton
Clarke
Woolfenden
Burgess
Davis
Luongo or Taylor
Morsy
Burns or Hutchinson
Chaplin
Broadhead
Hirst
Still expecting at least 2, maybe 3 signings. Likely a striker and CB.
Strange friendlies today. Split the squad in two and played Cambridge and Stevenage with different squads. Lost both 2-1, but assume it was just about getting fitness levels up as neither squad looked particularly strong, but against Stevenage was definitely stronger.
Intrigued if we go full...
Potentially a fantastic signing and a 4 year deal too! One Norwich may regret...
Seems Norwich haven't rated him from their friendlies so far, but he's played at RB. Assume he will push forward more for you rather than play in defence?
Interesting! I wonder who would count as the higher categories then? I guess it allows change towards the back end of the season should you do well, and also for higher profile cup matches.
Bonne is woeful at finishing. Which sounds odd as he scored a lot for us at one point, but he misses so many sitters and is always offside.
From what I've seen of them both, Pigott seems much more composed and is a better player imo.
Looks like Omari Hutchinson loan deal from Chelsea set to be confirmed today by the looks of it. Can't say I know a lot about him, but said to be a very exciting prospect, plenty of pace!
Panutche Camara set to join Charlton on loan once their takeover goes through apparently.
Turned down the chance to join Sheff Wed.
EDIT - didn't see mentioned above :)
