4/5 of the first XI out for this isn't ideal. I had been focusing on us having the full back 4 as a positive but turns out we've only 2 of them.

Still a strong team.
On a different note, just bumped into JET after like 20 years. Currently playing for Braintree and was talking about retiring.
Yeah, well Calafiori was pretty dire in his last match, so im ok with Piero. Wont add much going forward, but he's solid defensively. And Mosquera is pretty capable as a replacement for Willo. We have a pretty strong bench too.
Draw written all over it... ๐
daredevil I thought he was still in jail. Turns out a four year prison sentence means doing 10 months, mostly on remand, before being paroled.

That's an understatement - it's literally the entire front 4 that cooked up 50 points a couple seasons back.
Liked the line up. We played with a lot of energy and zest.
daredevil thatโs mad.
Team looks good. Bench looks good. Let's do this!
Glad Saliba is just illness and not injury. Hopefully back for Wolves. No issues with Mosquera next to Gabby.
Nice to not have to rush Saka, Ode or Cala back for this. Wouldn't mind Rice/Zubi getting a breather, so hopefully they're rested at the weekend.
That team has more than enough to win. The bench is there to keep the pressure for 90+ minutes. Don't make stupid mistakes and we'll win
Good start by Gyokeres.
Looking sharp
Good refereeing. Too often they don't show these midtablers the early yellow.
Hincapie with another underwhelming cross.
MistaT we can't count on him to do anything good from the wing
Another match where it seems Rice is playing deeper than Zubi, at least in phases
Gyok does well to bring the pass down and pull it back to noni, only to miss his pass from a few yards
tazmania i thought that was on Madueke as much as anyone.
There was only room to play it to Madueke's back foot, but he was leaning forward.
