With a decision to make then and I didn't exactly fancy the risk of not getting a Europa league place just for extra wage funds, quite a lot though. On second thoughts I decided to take the money, you just gotta be ambitious.
Beating Chelsea will prove a tough challenge given they've looked like real title contenders in recent weeks and it did prove tough, honestly it really was the Timo Werner Show in this one. A well crafted goal put them 1-0 up and then a terrible pass and attempt to switch the play by Jonjoe Kenny gave the ball away and who converted? Of course it was Timo Werner, that young Jonjoe is no Trent is he lad? He's not even that young lol.
An early goal from Dom and a big one cause the media had began to talk about his goalless run. What a run from Josh Bowler!.. I know it's league two opposition but this is his debut and what a way to announce yourself to the fans! What a goal! Another great goal and another to add to the Jamees collection. A scrappy one but Bowler got our fourth, Glyfi off the bench kept finding him and what an amazing debut when the young man completed his hattrick! A calm and composed finish.
Towards the end of the match then and Calvert-Lewin also got a hattrick of his own with two more, I'd love it if he could be this clinical in more league games! So we also lost Gordon who went off injured but luckily I'm pretty certain Richarlison is back after this game.
We made a good start today and with Burnley a place above us in the league we really did need to, it was James Rodriguez who got the early goal we needed from a header. The only goal as we managed to hold on and defend well. Unfortunately on his return from injury Richarlison is back on the missing list lol, not for too long thankfully. Hames is out too.
This guy was one of the first players my scouts recommended very early in the save, the man from Ukraine, pretty sure I've heard of him and he's supposed to be quite highly rated irl too. Someone else who also is (I believe) is Ikone and contract negotiations broke down with him and frankly I don't have time to mess around.
Coming in hot, steamy and ready for action ooff.. we're hampered by injuries but he's got to play with form like tha.. and even his morale.
I dunno what it was today we just didn't have the answers, Digne brought down his man Tete, the referee then went to the monitor and in the end decided to award the pen, which Mitrovic converted. The second poor pass leading to a goal from Kenny in one update, Mitrovic did the rest and got his second, he really does need to be dropped now but who do we replace him with?
We've done it again for the second time in an update, 4 games with 2wins, 2 losses! Inconsistent! Light work was made of Forest Green, we wouldn't expect anything from Chelsea, Burnley's a good result and Fulham well a shock there, frankly it's been happening at home for em 5th win in a row in the league(home), 7 unbeaten at home and 17 of their 24 points coming at home(Scotty P's keeping em up with the home form looks like anyway). We've got a tough game against City to finish on coming up but apart from that some winnable and need to win games!
D, WBA opened the scoring from Grant and he took it beautifully. It's all about the headers, Keane first and then Iwobi who's fresh in the team today. Rekeem Harper scores an absolute thunder**** or screamer to level the score and that's the way it finished despite the chances today, Gordon hit the post and then again from the rebound!!
