I know, and then he doesmt even seem tired from it, just goes straight back to pressing like nothing happened...do think he shouldve squared for le fee though, maybe would have if we wasnt desperate for redemtion from the pen misses.

Surely they wouldnt let him and connolly go if they werent confident of bringing in a new striker?

The work rate is outstanding, keep worrying isidors going to do a muscle, the bloke sprints about 20km per game. Not to mention le fee up and down the line all match last night and hes only just turned up.

How we move forward in terms of formation/setup - personally I think the 442 is a useful string to our bow but playing it with 4 cms last night made us look inbalanced and narrow and it was difficult for us to penetrate imo. When mundle is back we surely revert to 433 with le fee taking riggs spot?

Big positive there was the subs, finally seems like we have a few players on the bench who le bris actually trusts to bring on. Another striker, versatile defender in potentially and mundle/watson/poveda/seelt all to come back too.

Made bloody hard work of it but a very well deserved 3 points in the end, feel like we can really push on now #safc

Definitly back in, need full backs playing on their right side to link up with all our inverted wingers imo, whether ballard or onien comes out is very tough one to call

Excited to see what watson can do at home, in his right position and with a better team around him

Plus with mepham on a suspension tightrope we need to make sure alese is available if and when he is out

I hate how reactionary everyone is on there, every loss is a disaster and every win means we are going to piss the league, theres no big picture perspective

Why would you loan a keeper only to keep him as backup, pretty clear the parent club isnt going to like it

Worth noting as well that ballard drives the ball out of defence to start counters in games like millwall, and it was him that won first contact on the set piece which we ultimatley scored from

Probably against a side like millwall who are so physical and play a lot of long balls we probably benefitted from having ballard rather than luke, but in a game where we hace more possession and more pressure to create youd want luke.

Immensley frustrating to have thrown away the last 2 games like that but tbf big picture is we are over 1/3 of tge way through the season, still on 2 points per game, still top, havent lost in 7, havent lost at home...if someone had said that pre season id have laughed in their face. #safc

Looks like a proper old fasioned 442 with wilson and watson wide to me #safc

Aleksic is obviously a big unknown (probably a long term jobe/rigg replacement) but I think watson will do well if we give him time on the left

Starting to worry that samed is a myth

Hopefully both back by the new year then, about what was expected tbh, big chance for watson/aleksic

I was desperate for Watmore to kick on and become a proper PL player

I thought he was going to be quality haha

The amoubt of teams that treated us like a cup final while we were playing callum mcfadzean or glen loovens was tragic

Loved that broadhead goal after theyd been timewasting for literally 80 mins, then started complaining when we timewasted after it 😂

Probably Ji but a few have said that so I'll go woth Defoes in the 3-2 vs chelsea, the only goal I can think of at the SoL where you can see the camera shaking from the celebrations

Dont think johnson is ready based on what iv seen of him in pre seasons tbh. Personally go with onien rb and aleksic if hes ready or adil if hes not. Has conolly played rw before? Would take any excuse to keep isidor up front and would defo play watson on his normal side

Just write up the entire list of 400 permanent signings we made under di canio and di fanti in 2013

I like the idea of keeping the ship badge on the away kit - think the new one is better as the official crest
