Expand Given the amount of games we could have, we'll need at least half of them back at some point. PC will also continue his rotation. He really has no option as squad is decimated in the creative areas. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSocksRedTops 3,951 Posted March 7, 2024 Share Posted March 7, 2024 Our away record against Portuguese teams is quite remarkable. That's 2 draws against Porto and Benfica as well as victories v Braga and Sporting over the last 2 decades. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it was just precautionary as they wouldn't want him walking around the pitch with a bad injury. Expand He went off injured on Saturday so must be carrying a muscle knock of some sort. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand The whole team defended well tonight, front to back, as I said earlier a soft pen & an own goal stopped us winning 0-2 tonight. Our manager got it spot on tonight.

Expand I think the lack of options could potentially work in our favour as he will rotate less. My big concern is Lawrence. He evidently can't play 3 games in a week so the sooner Cantwell gets back the better to bolster the no 10 options. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSocksRedTops 3,951 Posted March 7, 2024 Share Posted March 7, 2024 Random observation but I thought Butlands distribution was poor tonight. Both throwing and kicking. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSocksRedTops 3,951 Posted March 7, 2024 Share Posted March 7, 2024 Clement has made this team into a team of warriors IMO. Ridvan is a wee battler and Sterling and Diamonde are getting better and better. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
