And you will take my hand and make believe it's..... Sunderland (H) 15:00 29/1/22

[GhostoftheBok]

Hands up, who had the first assist by the keeper?

Nope me neither.

Not after his kicking for the first 20 minutes. Sorted the cobwebs out and has been excellent since then.

[BWFC_Insane]

Outstanding first half. Proper stuff. Not tippy tappy. Direct and in control. They will play better second half. They have to. But can we pick them off on the break?

[Prufrock]

Well that was excellent. Thought Fossey had been overhyped in previous games but he's been excellent as have they all. We look a real threat going forward. And solid as a five. Midfield will get outnumbered sometimes, which is going to happen, but we've defended those really well. Standard set. More of that please.

Expect them to be better second half, but we'll surely get chances on the break. They've left Charles and Daps 2v2 at the back which is...brave.

Very good half. Vey good. The sort that makes you wonder what if...

Tell you what, defenders can't enjoy playing against Dapo and Dion. A right pair of niggly, hard-working and talented players.

We haven't given them a minute. We've made the promising Doyle look very average, we've run him ragged and made a teenager look like a leggy 30 something. Love watching that pressing, I think it filters down to rest of the team. Defend from the front as they say.

Pru and Insano, sitting in a tree... W I N N I N G...

We have options to bring on, too. Interesting and lovely to be in this position.

Only the second time since before Bonfire Night that Sunlun have been two goals down. On that occasion (Lincoln at home), they pulled one back but conceded a third. That sounds possible here.

[brommers95]

Gillingham already 3-0 down at home to Oxford. Come here, Demps.

Checked the Gillingham line up to see if he was playing, saw the score and thought exactly this - cmon lad, you know it makes sense.

[GhostoftheBok]

The fact Dapo was back tackling to set off the move for his goal was just so, so satisfying. How can you not love this side when they play like that?

[Worthy4England]

Good first half. Worked hard. We still scare the shit outta me at the back...and I think they mighta spotted Traf/Flossey....

It is, but they've barely had a sniff so far. They will get chances, but if we can limit them we can take control of this before they get any belief back.

[brommers95]

Yeah I think Charles might turn out to be a decent signing.

[irie Cee Bee]

Unplayable. 3- 0.

[Prufrock]

Wow

[DJBlu]

fecking GEEEEEEEET IN YOU BEAUTY!!!!!!

What a ball Gethin.

Charley boy!!!!

[sonicthewhite]

Feckin 'ell

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Football! Assist for the keeper!

I’ll take a goal like that every week as long as it’s not the only plan

Seriously, though. I said a while back - go 1-0 up off a corner, long ball, their goalie's arse, whatever. Then we play football. And boy can we play football.

[sonicthewhite]

So, I don't know how many of you know Ivan, who plays the stadium tunes. Ivan, truly is one of life's most fantastic chaps. I've asked him to play this at half time. I hope he does And if any of you fancy getting into a balls-out rock and roll band from Cumbria, then this is your calling!

Mrs G was only saying last week how good the music has been at the ground lately. Shed 7, Lottery Winners and The Killers all getting lots of airplay lately

Blimey! If Mrs G thinks that's good music, I'll do her a mixtape. Little Simz, Wet Leg and Yard Act.

Oh, and it'll be 1-1. That's a decent point against the team currently second.

No.

We'll shit 'em 4-0.

Nearly there Keyser

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Morley closing down the keeper. Johnston tackling in their D. Total Football, Brian.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Sadlier might be worrying he won’t get in this team either

[DJBlu]

Touch Dapo!

What control.
