Martin Era: Game 1 - Blackburn Rovers

[The Blobster]

And Benda has the no.1 shirt , I hope this means he's our first choice sweeper keeper !

He's certainly mine. He's an extra defender playing behind the line and so comfortable with the ball at his feet the others have no trouble knocking it back to him.

Maybe today we'll get a glimpse of what the season holds for us. Blackburn, formidable opponents, not expecting miracles, but already signs of improvement in their final third would suffice .

Back to 3+2. Martin is no fool.

Piroe - the big money signing - doesn’t make the bench

names on the bench I don’t recognize

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Harmer is not on the bench … Nico is the keeper

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Where is Manning?

no routs either

 

[The Blobster]

No Piroe , no Walsh , no Manning , new signing with no training time in from start WTF

martin has seen stuff he’s not happy about and figured out those who can from whose who can’t or are not ready to dance

 

[The Blobster]

COYJB , Let's do it from the start

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Jack Army is present and in fine voice

 

[KVetch]

Must be something medical with Piroe, Covid or family. Same with Hamer, would he really prefer a U23 over Hamer?

 

[Yankee_Jack]

At least we didn’t boot a long ball from kickoff

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Benda is going have the most passes by half time

 

[The Blobster]

We are not keeping the ball well , very sloppy so far .

 

[Yankee_Jack]

The longest game starts with a single pass …. And shit load of patience and nerves

 

[Yankee_Jack]

We are not keeping the ball well , very sloppy so far .

We haven’t got the movement part down at all

 

[KVetch]

Can't get out of our own half. I hope sort it out soon.
