Please don't let those negative people run you off, Cussie. We need more of your type around.

Nope! VAR works great over here in MLS and I love it. But Howard Webb still has a lot of work to do improving VAR and match officiating generally in England. It’s really a poor standard.

It's not a high bar to climb over tbf. Id also have him over Christiansen and Heck atm even though I thought Heck did a decent job under the circumstances. Probably on a par with Monk atm over recent years, power to add for sure.

weasel wrote: ↑Fri Aug 18, 2023 9:21 pm Crikey a positive post from Cjay. I thought Dan James shows exacrtly what a handful he will be in this division, unlucky with a couple of decent efforts, great ball for the assist and a constant menace. Also great work rate too. Shackleton was busy and lively all night, I think if he gets his full confidence back he could have a great season. I thought Gelhardt too looked to be showing glimpses of what he is about.

Rodon had a decent debut, Easy to see why Farke wanted him and preferred him to Cresswell. Happy with him and Rodon as the first choice pairing with Cresswell next man up.

Good to see Messlier making a decent save. I think throughout the team there is a lack of confidence but there were signs of it returning,

I thought Ayling had a decent game too and pleased he got his goal. We have to live with the fact he will sometimes be unable to get back into a defensive position - if he isn't given the license to get forward he deosn't score. Not many teams have their full backs getting into the position Ayling did for the goal.

The worry at present is the attack. Rutter may as well not have been there, was surprised to see him stay on for the full match. Would love to see him get a goal and see if he is better with confidence. Throw a Gnonto or Sinisterra, or even Summerville into the side though and we should score more - or alternatively if any of them go we hopefully uy someone who can make a difference.

For all the fans who hate VAR and were happy at the thought of us not havign VAR well tonight shows why VAR is needed, it just needs to be done better. A non sending off, a goal and a penalty decision all going against us and you would have thought at least the goal and penalty decision would have gone in our favour.

For me though it is 3 games played and we have been comfortably the better side in 2 of them and at least equal in the other. Okay we haven't got the points but the performances have been encouraging, especially given the disruption around team selection. 2 or 3 key signings, and hopefully we get those now Adams looks to be leaving, and we hopefully turn these performances into points.
Lots of endeavour and effort as you'd expect from a team with James, Ayling, Byram, Shacks etc.

Wba were rubbish and the ref gifted them 1 point.

It was encouraging all things considered.

We won't be winning the league as things stand or even close to it.

But may scrape a playoff place with 2 or 3 signings.

Need twice that for top 2.

But you can see what Farke is trying to do.

Very hesitant to go long and a commitment to build from the back.

I quite like it.

But we do need to start winning soon and desperate for some quality.

But positive signs from some of the very underwhelming which was nice to see.

Did their best.
Signed

Yes I think Geronimo is probably 13. Judging by his lack of logic and poor grasp of the english language.

When we went a goal down early in the 2nd half I feared the worst. But like we did against Cardiff we pretty much controlled the game and got our reward.
James was superb - always wanted the ball. He is a key outlet for the team. I am not concerned about the miss. If he keeps this up in terms of creating danger for the opposition and driving at goal his assists and goals this season will both be double figures.
