It's another sign of how well the club's being run from top to bottom that the history of the club is being honoured in such a way. Radz and the team understand the culture here, a mirror opposite of say Newcastle. :clap: :clap: :clap:
A class act :tup:

Worth noting though that the same can be said of the opposition - and Heckingbottom's managerial skill (he's only got McGoldrick as captain! :lol: ) taken into consideration - and this is where Bielsaball shines because the system has everyone playing in a well-ingrained system, everyone knows what they're supposed to do.

Just have to hope our defenders arrive switched-on and put in a Chelsea performance, not a Manure performance. :roflmao:

The squad is geared towards Wilder's 3-5-2, they havent got any wingers.
Exactly, they're up against a well-drilled machine where everyone knows what they're supposed to do. Just need effort to be high from the start so we click into gear quicker and not get caught out by early pressure. :tup:

They need to see one another's proper numbers, Bielsa's a fanatic for using player's number only and not name, probably drills the same mentality into the players.

Roberts wins two early FK and draws a yellow
Dallas has lost possession twice so far

Thankfully Blunts are as bad at delivering corners as we are at defending them and taking them of course

Knew Cooper would waltz straight back in. :roll: FFS so depressing. Struijk will be playing for the u23s again.
