Poor decision making by our sporting directors, purely on a football perspective. We have strengthened a direct rival whilst weakened our own position. Yes the money was good and the player wanted to leave but at some point or other we have start running this club as a sporting entity if we seriously want to compete. Yesterday through out a clear message that the deal)s) is more important, deadlines and bluster mean nothing. Compare that Athleti with Alvarez or even Monaco with Camara who have put their team first. An excellent window upto the last few days has suddenly put us in the same peril has last year when we was found wanting in defence and risked creating bad blood with our new coach.

Saw a rumour of loan plus unconditional purchase next summer.

Games will be exciting this year. As good as we’ve are with the ball, without it we will get found out by better teams Joao Pedro has started the season in top form Gusto in midfield doesn’t work, hope Caceido injury is just a niggle Nice to have six points on the table, 34 to safety😊

Three up we should be coasting but this game is far from over. As good as we’ve been going forward, we still feel like we will concede. At least another goal needed to put this to bed in the second half.

If Robert’s sees his arse with the decision, show him the door too. This club has been run so badly in recent years, time for all to see we mean business. There has to be consequence for poor decisions, be it on or off the pitch.

Even better he’s hated by opposition fans. I love a small fiery midfielder at the club.

Notably Neto sprinting back in the 87 th minute to do his defensive duties. Just shows a good bollocking works

Good workout, on another night we hit 6 Team looks to be playing with more freedom and importantly enjoying it Barco a revelation, we possibly have the Enzo replacement already Palmer looks to be enjoying his free role Lacroix has added the stability that’s so much been needed, allowing Josh to start his development Pleasing first two games, harder challenges to come…namely Brighton our third game in 6 days which will test our resilience

Dirty Leeds at home if we progress

Palmer and Roger’s clearly have a bond both on and off the field I love and always have, the yellow trim on the blue kit

Football has got exciting again, I’ll take the odd goal win but in all honesty if it had been 4-4 I couldn’t have argued Palmer looked sharp Sanchez looked sh*t Going forward with the ball we looked good…without the ball susceptible We at last have a front three to fear We have a back three to hide behind the sofa, especially with Sanchez in the rear We now need to build on this, achieve fitness and train hard for reward

Good half of football We’re lively going forward Caceido shaped hole in midfield Still defensively poor…not helped by the bookings on the Left side of the team Opponents still not getting booked when they rightfully should, new season same sh*t Palmer has looked to have his mojo back, needs a goal now for confidence

Sanchez takes 23 mins to show why he shouldn’t be in our goals

Good goal, cracking build play

Joao, good goal. Nice buildup

First 20 mins ok, after that we got sloppy and Sociedad got a very deserved equaliser. We need to defend better as a team.

Good goal for them. We look pretty crap in defence

Even the pitch is having a refreshment break

Good with the ball, gaps without it

Decent workout Lavia managed 90 mins…Forfana nearly did a full match too Palestra got a good engine Quenda would be a massive upgrade at RW Josh had a solid game Milan are a pale shadow of teams past. Another 90 mins of fitness into the team Indonesian crowd was loud, these tours give the team a good profile and the fake shirts sales go through the roof. I yearn though for the days of the Anglo Scots cup pre season.

Good workout. Dominant in possession without really looking dangerous in the final third. Josh and Palestra had a good half Crowd noisy, we could do with some Indonesians at the Bridge
