Dont think any of them starts if Branthwaite and Tarkowski are fit.

He didn’t look where the keeper was , just had to place it in the right side of the goal , he would of normally put that away

Just seen the highlights on MotD.
Fascinating insight into our performance from the pundits.
Fascinating insight into our performance from the pundits.
And...... what did they say?
SAD…. You’ve got this unreasonable hatred/jealousy for Our Jack really bad haven’t you ? Did you have disappointment issues as a younger person ? Maybe failed at something you desperately wanted when you were Jacks age and cannot take another person reaching a successful stage in their career which quite unreasonably you find impossible to accept ? Just try to be happy for our Jack making his fledgling career in his chosen field, honestly, you may very well feel better about your own failings, it may help you to come to some sort of terms for your past disappointments and hopefully bring about some closure for you. Chin up Dwayne you can do it…….

The usual ... praised the opposition
Then some random stat about something unrelated to us.
Absolutely no mention of us at all.

anyone else think we missed Millner yesterday? Feel that (without Gross (or even Lallana)) we weren't cohesive with our attack.
Probably missed Pedro more
Trouble is - we don't actually win nine out of ten of those sorts of games. It feels more like we win about half of them.

Was it not the same type of performance we usually get after an international break regardless of who the coach is?

I would rather go on the data than feelings.
Given our number of far away-internationals going to various continents, maybe Hurz & co should look into how we approach these games. Maybe its a good kind of fixture to start a couple of players who haven't played all that much.
If you look through data you'll find we don't win 9/10 of those games (nor should we, because this is football).
Data will tell you that if we want to take the next step and challenge for Europe nearly every season, we got to start getting a little bit more out of games against the bottom 5 than has been the case for the last.. 8 years.
I would be more worried if we were struggling to break Ipswich down - from my side, I saw their GK making multiple good saves, and some of our play was exceptional (mainly in the 1st half).
2nd half was a bit less disciplined in parts but i subscribe to the theory of if you can't win, don't lose....
8 points from 4 games (and still unbeaten) with a new manager, players returning to the 1st team, new players settling in and a different style of play to get used to - I would have taken that in August. Also good practice for what Wolves and Forest will do this week - sit back and try to sneak a result.

Crikey, that’s towing the company line if ever I’ve seen it.

No. We missed Joao Pedro yesterday.
