Dianne Abbott doing the attendance figures?

 

Great result but we got out of jail.
Cousin Dawson MoM? I thought he was sh1te and a liability

 

We are in a crazy limbo situation where our pathetic excuse for a government has removed all restrictions, but told everyone to 'be careful' and 'act responsibly'
So it's a lottery. It totally depends where you go. I was in Salts Mill yesterday. Absolutely everyone in the place was wearing a mask. VP today - hardly anyone, despite the club's request for people to wear them when in the concourses.

 

Let's be honest the chances we had and blew because of poor finishing we should have had the game wrapped up well before the penalty incident.

 

Incorrect

Nobody was really crap yesterday to be honest nobody let us down

 

Some are very stubborn, once their mind is made up it won’t be changed. Cook wasn’t special but he won his fair share and was pulled all over and was often isolated up top by himself. I’m sure Adams won’t have complained with his performance. Hopefully some service into him next game will see him on the scoresheet.

 

He occupied their best defender who was a blond lad and if you watch the highlights the blond lad gives away the penalty after he tackles Cook and then lunges on Angol

We don't get that penalty if Cook isn't playing well and competing for every ball

Oh and for any naysayers he got a direct assist for the first as well heading on to Angol to score

Cook was a menace and they couldn't deal with him or Angol at times

 

Possession football can be a complete myth, especially if it’s sideways and backwards possession.

 

It never looked a decent signing.

 

Well if you are not excited about today then stay at home footballs not for you

 

Play nice children. Make an exception just for today. I'm 61, not even gonna be at the match but i'm as giddy as feck.

 

Since when has Cooke been a defensive midfielder?

In the games so far he’s been the most effective player going forward from the middle, let him do the same from a defensive position in front of the back four would leave us short in front of the defence and suspect to a quick sucker punch breakaway.

 

Love this, so relatable!

 

Are you certain that you support city Mr Fordy, even knocking the club about shirt sales now.
Its the first game back in 18 months , just enjoy the day, win , lose or draw, it should be some occcasion.

 

Ridehalgh was actually very good and his crossing is excellent

 

I think some people are misunderstanding Adams style of play. Lots of times this year we wont dominate possession but its chances created which is key

 

Absolutely. There was no one anywhere near him when he went down. Blatant cheating.

 

Not the penalty, the finish. It was a terrible effort and we were very lucky the keeper made an absolute howler.

 

He talks really well, and he actually sounds really grateful to the club and like he really really wants to be here... Genuinely. Which is refreshing. Hopefully he stays this bright even if things get hard.
