[Albion] Our Irish lads playing tonight

[Guinness Boy]

As have we all.

I'm not trying to get on the guys back, as kids are always (rightly) afforded leverage. But goals pay the rent, as someone once said, and we can ill afford to carry him this season if he spends 6-7 months muffing chances or not getting in the positions again. The hope is that last season has now set him on that learning curve whereby we'll get more of a goal return this season coming. If he gets near to 10 and Maupay does similarly again then happy days. If not...we may have trouble.

Yes, this.

We all support our players in every game, but right now we have a strike force of Maupay (10 goals, decent, but annoying enough to be kicked), Connolly (3 goals, raw, exciting, not a 38 game starter) and Andone (mental, injured, out of favour).

We need to sign genuine competition / complement to Maupay (a younger, quicker, Murray), ease Connolly through another season and bin off the mad do as you likey. IMO like.

Meanwhile, over in the Germany vs Spain game, the Krauts brought on Leeds' White replacement, Robin Koch, at 90+1 to shore up the defence to nurse home their 1-0 lead. Spain promptly scored at 90+2 but it was disallowed. They scored again at 90+6. #FreeKoch

Connolly was very good grew into the game nicely

I agree. The game was difficult for Ireland as a poor Bulgaria team simply parked the bus most of the time. Connolly had few chances but his positional play was excellent and his passing neat and tidy.

On a separate subject I see Dimitri Novichok scored for Russia tonight. Unseen at the back post. Killer goal.

Agree. I think we have a rapidly developing striker emerging as a serious force.

Also the strap line of some of the Cologne saunas struggling post Covid.

Fantastic nights work for Leeds new signings their £30m striker missed an empty net.

The spelling of Koch is seemingly incorrect...

Winner in the making.

 

[Wardy's twin]

Were we looking for a target man / goal scorer?

 

[Pavilionaire]

Clinton Morrison very complimentary about Connolly tonight.

I watched Germany vs. Spain. Ferran Torres of Citeh looked good on Spain's RW, Thiago Alcantara impressive in the middle too.

Duffers scores with his head, who would have believed it.
Finally learned to head downward when on goal.

I assume this is a joke?

Nope, usually balloons over the bar.

Thought the Irish were shocking night. Really slow and boring to watch. Can't judge anybody on that showing. I took an Interest in the Norwich forward to see if he was worth a sneaky bid. Looks like a young Zamora.

He doesn't play like him yet ... though he's a young man, he has time.

I actually thought Bulgaria were vastly improved from the horrific team who played us last year. Just seeing that stadium bought back horrible memories of a horrible night for football.
