An uppex quality version of Bamford kinda, definitely a better finisher by a mile even when not in a purple patch. But defo loads of work off the ball like Bamford. Adds a lot you notice its missing when he's not there. Don't notice it so much when he is there kinda thing.

Great.

HT two up.

Now we KNOW they will make changes at HT so let's see how we cope.

Not the best half really but got to be happy with the scoreline. Farke to earn his money in the second half he can’t afford to be out thought again. Aaronson doesn’t look to be feeling it tonight, working his ass off as usual but it’s not coming off - give Gnonto or James a run out.

Having to leave it to two of our other new recruits so far. :lol:

Justin, Gudmonssen and Gruev all deserve a mention.

Fairly decent overall but look vulnerable when we try ploddyball out from the back and when MGW gets between our midfielders and defence.

Okafor having his best game for months whilst DCL struggles.

Manage this now please.

Struijk worrying me
Simple passes just a bit off
Seems a few % off

I didn’t see who passed it when I commented on the goal. Here’s a belated WELL DONE from me, cos I’m not usually slow to knock him.

Too early to replace Aaronson, this game is a battle and he is our best option.
James injury to consider and wee Willy loses his cool.
Bring him on later

I’d add Okafor for a top three.
Gudmundsson started well but hasn’t been able to get forward since they came back into it.

Just seen Okafors goal celebration slide. He’s ruined that pitch in the corner. If I was groundskeeper I’d stab him with my pitchfork.

Who was it who tried to pass the ball away from MGW rather than just booting it and he ended up with a shot?

Rodon?
