Just watched the whole game again.

We started slowly in both halves, fortunately Millwall are so bad, they didn't take advantage of a few lapses of play on our part.

For the rest of the game, we appeared solid in all areas of the pitch.

That first goal still has me purring, straight out of the Bielsa bible. :soccer:

James assist made me chuckle for Piroe's second goal.

Did the referee leave his yellow cards at home?

I counted 13 fouls & at least 4 that wasn't given.

Leonard was the chief culprit with four hefty challenges on Summerville & Gnonto.

How Emakhl wasn't booked for the challenge on Ampadu late on, god only knows! Hope Ethan is ok for the Hull game.4

To be fair, Gnonto was fortunate not to receive a yellow card for his pull back foul.

Chris Kavanagh has already been demoted from the prem, at this rate, he'll be refereeing in League One soon.

1. I didn't time it '64, but the speed we moved from one end of the pitch to the other was a thing of beauty :)

2. With Gnonto, agreed, but I think the referee may have given him a pass for the times Willie was fouled in the first half and he didn't get a whistle.

I saw nowt wrong with the ref, had some balls to let the play go on, which is more than most these days, if anything i thought he was more on our side than owt, wouldn't mind him every week.

Awesome Ampadu in team of the week
I declare my love for Saint Daniel and I can shoehorn him in to any conversation.

I thought Gnonto was fouled immediately before the shirt pull

Ampudu & Rodon were immense defensively.

Minus Ayling's prone "header" to start it all off (not dissing the grit it takes to put your head in harms way), thought this was an apt description of the lead-up to the first goal...

"...proper sex football." (28:54)

From The Square Ball Podcast with Phil Hay, "Phil Hay: Leeds Brought the Quality."

Phil Beeton, Elliott & one or two others on the front row from the Griffin Branch.

Hopefully I'll see some of my old pals tomorrow evening.

I am pleased as punch with the display at the Den tickled pink even.Papers said our front line has pace,power and creativity,if there is a forward line better than us l will eat my hat.Likewise if there is a better midfielder than Ampadu another hat will be eaten.Talking of fullbacks and centre backs I doubt whether there are any better than the marauding Spence and the steady Rodin.If there is have you any spare Bowlers Jaydog.Finally the bookies are being very generous with 7to1 to finish top.Just my thoughts.
