He knows the condition of the players better than we do.
And when he got the big players on we salvaged the point.
The disallowed goal was also weak as you see holding like that every game.
I think other teams will struggle on that pitch in that climate, it's a decent point.
But I think we agree on that
Let’s see how we play v Leeds. We changed a lot v Donny then ended playing dog shite v wolves
Other teams must be licking their lips....
More than we give our own players sometimes!!
Fucking hell. ... how fast are the flights from Norway....? Did you have to miss the entire game in order to get back from the airport, and THAT'S why you had to ask ...?
One day, they'll start deducting points for bad performances that get positive results.... THEN we'll be sorry!
Take it....
We're still evolving as a team, and yet STILL getting (away with) wins/draws along the way while we're learning....
This season could look very different ALREADY.... 0-2 down at Brighton, and tonight, a goal down until the 94th minute against Wolves, and we didn't lose ONE of them!
Had we lost a couple of those, we'd blame Thomas Frank's historical 'poor starts with new clubs' as a mitigating factor....
But while everyone is still getting used to eachother, we're STILL pulling out positive results from nowhere....
That has to count for summit, surely?
Just Wait til we click....!
The Ange season, winning a trophy and Levy leaving has thoroughly fucked up a lot of people. This place is drowning in a lack of perspective and some misplaced privilege. Maga mentality is permeating all and sundry. Audible sigh
That’s why Spence’s future is as a proper RB, or a defensive specialist LB. He’s not going to be able to be an outside LB, and we absolutely need it for attacking balance reasons.
none of us are
grow up
suppose you wanted Poch out too? Took a full season and a month of the next season for things to click. And that was with Gilet Tactics Tim getting us to 6th the season before and into Europe. Not finishing 17th lol
it’s still early doors and it’s a comeback pint away from home.
The squad is lacking in many areas. My god but I want Richie to succeed but he is just a passenger most games.
Perhaps playing with no striker might at least get us the use of another player.
But then you have Johnson as well another passenger.
Hard to win games with 9 men.

We need more quality in squad. Our summer signings have been excellent.
Thing is as well ask any of the people complaining about the admittedly risk-averse, stodgy (dare I say shit) football in these early games of Frank's tenure but if you ask those same people which area of the squad is the strongest as of right now, it will unanimously be defence. The guy has been trying to build a cohesive attack with Richy and Tel as his fit options as his attacking fulcrum.
I can't lie, I wish he was a bit less risk-averse in his personnel selections, I am sick of watching Bentancur still get minutes while Gray has barely seen the pitch so far this season, Richy is so obviously cooked (despite scoring a goal he knew fucking nothing about tonight), either he literally only has 90 mins to give in the tank before he's fatigued beyond usefulness again or that Burnley game was just an outlier, and he really is just so so shit, I don't understand how he can turn it on and look like a £60m player in the odd game for us but even when not getting laid off by injury he just seems absolutely fucked after a match or 2.
We've paid the money for Tel now, he might well be shit long term but at least we could try and get some consistent minutes into him until RKM becomes available and see if we can't spur a Kane-like transformation, I don't see how it could be any worse than Richy offering absolutely fucking nothing, if nothing else Tel could be a nuisance for defenders by getting about and being difficult to mark, something which asked of Richy would probably cause his hammies to explode into flame.
I like him too. But he is a defender. Hes not a ball playing defender. Very very solid with the basics of defending his box and alike but a significant drop off in quality when it comes to the more technical side of the game. Showed his flaws tonight, all players have them so not a critique, more of an observation.
I think you meant to say one place above relegation, no? We actually finished 13 points above Leicester in 18th.
Not saying that's in anyway good, but we were never in any danger of going down.
And at least we could beat Bodø bloody Glimt!
Slop being found out and it will have awful consequences for us unless Pep can sort the Oil Slavers out
It’s actually a world football thing. The game is just so negative now. Risk free.
How is he clueless?
Nice to see Gray doing well. Been very patient. A lot of players would have kicked off. Been very professional. Good lad and potential captain for us.
No I was in the hospital visiting my brother who has blood cancer.
But thanks for replying back like a cunt , instead of a legit answer like the other 5 who replied.
