Got home at midnight - bloody M1 shut
Great win and so much to enjoy in that performance- I normally get to 4/5 games a season but I’m going to increase that this season
I’ve decided I’m not going to even bother looking at possession stats anymore
We were by far the better team - but the stats suggest it was a bit of a mugging
Positives - build up play and chances created - the best I’ve seen it since coming down - both flanks possess loads of attacking threat - recruitment at full back and on the wings is really paying dividends. Midfield kamara was outstanding Madsen a good foil and Edward’s really reminds me of Terry fenwick (showing My age). GK - Charles didn’t pass brilliantly but he claimed or punched every cross he could get to. The bench - it’s the strongest bench we’ve had since rednapp days - it’s very well assembled
The middle stuff - defence was pretty solid again but we really dropped very deep In 2nd half and some old habits came back - SUBS- I was amazed that Lloyd and Mbengue weren’t the first men off the pitch - both were absolutely gassed and we carried Lloyd for another 5-10 mins - I like him but he should have had a couple - vale was frustrating some very good link up play and then wasteful passes and he should have picked up a goal with his left foot
Last thoughts is that although it was close - JS read the first game of a 3 game week perfectly (just) lots of players got rest and we got the 3 points - boro will be tough but we can compete with this squad. For our budget I think we have the best possible squad we can have. I think were going to batter someone in the next few weeks
Great atmosphere in the ground
MOTM for me was KAmara just shading Lamptey and Burrell with mentions to Edward’s and Dunne |

Lots to like - winning the ball high up and some pacey attacks but we look a little toothless in attack - poor old Lloyd should have a couple
That said Cardiff look dangerous too
Cmon rangers we need a second
Btw how the F have we got lamptey and kamara ??
So good
Be tempted to bring smyth on for Lloyd because there’s a lot of room down the right and Burrell could stay more central |

Ye olde fighting cocks in shortens always claimed to be the oldest and was my “local” from 16 years old - I was tall so no need for ID in the 80s - cracking pub and very good beer garden - I’ve not been back in a while and there was a rumour it was going to close which would be a massive shame |

I always come back to the poem desiderata - everyone should learn it before they leave school or sign up for social media …
There is undeniable prejudices all across society - and whilst I completely recognise that’s always been the case - I’ll always keep calling it out and try and bring people together
Sport of course is often a place where people can often come together despite all sorts of differences |

This thread is such a reflection of life now
Everyone has to have a side
We become more and more polarised
Leading to further division in every walk of life
I didn’t know him, but my thoughts are with his family right now
Look for the good in people - it may make us all happier |
