Krul was impressive at Bournemouth. V assured debut.

I really do feel for Maenpaa.

Don't the back up keepers take turns being on the bench? I wouldn't read too much into it....

I really do feel for Maenpaa.

It's a joy watching Bruno & Knockaert playing together on the same side of the pitch. Powerful bench. Let's hope the goals are shared around!

WA saying that Murray may have had an ankle operation. "Rumoured" was his exact words.

Glad Izzy is back!

 

[GT49er]

Murray not on the list? Is this no.1 of the 4 back from injury that are not really back?

Pretty much like for like replacement for Tomer. Izzy and Jose offer alternatives.

 

[Dick Head]

Watching on the radio, there's not so much love for Maty Ryan.

Our Chris not keen on shuffling the pack, is he?


Still, the bench looks strong - any of them could have a legitimate claim for a starting place. Could make a difference if used early enough to affect the game.

Stand or Fall wins today.

[Marxo]

I thought Joselu was dead there for a moment!

 

[WhingForPresident]

Great save from Ryan.

 

[Deleted member 2719]

Best save i have seen from Ryan instinctive as it came through players.

 

[Codner's Wallop]

That save was truly outstanding.

 

[brakespear]

how did that not go in?

 

[Dick Head]

FFS Ryan. He should have caught that shot.

He's shit, get Krul on. Barber out!

 

[maltaseagull]

That save was truly outstanding.

Yes but apparently, he is too short to be a decent goalie?

 

[JC Footy Genius]

Entertaining positive start.
