It’s always hard to take positives from a game like that, real sickener.
But the one that stand out for me is the performance of George Hirst.
First premier league start against one of the most physical and well disciplined teams in the league and he looked more than capable. His development since he got here has been absolutely superb and he was good value for a goal and an assist today.
We have 2 really capable strikers in this division I believe. The defence is another conversation but Hirsty deserves his flowers today. As does Delap for his goal and nearly goa.
Just seen that Southampton backed away from a deal for him because of his 18 million valuation*. LW/Left 10 is a position we will 100% be looking at. Not sure Broadhead and his lack of athleticism will cut it, for all his quality on the ball.
Clarke seems perfect for us. Young, English, had time working at an elite club in Spurs. Got such a high ceiling. For 18 million id be all over that.
*Story is from The Sun- so could be a load of nonsense.
Town Confirm Burns Signing3rd Jun 2021 18:08 Town have confirmed the signing of forward Wes Burns from Fleetwood on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee, TWTD having revealed that the move was close to being completed this afternoon.57
And what a signing that was. Ultra consistent, turns up in big games and now gets his shot at the Premier league. And I think he will excel in it.
I know some fans don't like him, and he is by no means better than Broady, Omari or Chaplin. But this system needs someone on the wing who can stretch teams and run in behind like Burns does. Kayden Jackson can do that.
We made it far too easy for Nodge today. 3 small players who want balls in to feet and their big centre halves could force them to play back the way they were facing. But they were so slow it is unreal. Needs someone to stretch the pitch. Good news on Burns' Injury. That week off is going to be a big help for us.
The save from the header from the Saints free kick. Superb, absolutely brilliant save. Got forgotten a bit in the melee that was last night. Kept us in the game.
Thought he had a great game, distribution was good. Some nice aerial balls collected. Very very good.
We are somehow slap bang in the middle of maybe 3 of the best squads to ever play at this level. Tonight was sh1t, no getting away from it. But we won the game and we are in a better position then when we started it. We are giving ourselves every chance and this race for the line could be the one of the best there has been.
It might be stressful, my heart rate may go to places it shouldn't, but my god is this fun.
Obviously high standards this season as we have been so good.
Plymouth were good, pressed well, looked to isolate Edmundson with Bundu. But over the course of the game I thought we were the dominant side, pushing the pace, won loads of corners, plenty of shots, another high Xg.
This is a tight league, almost every game each weekend seems to be a tight affair. But I thought we thoroughly deserved to win that game, even not at our best. We just have to stay brave. We play our best when we are.
By all accounts Philogene, who is a super talented winger was much better when he switched over to the left for Hull on Saturday, wouldn't fancy Clarke vs him, but would expect Williams to start regardless ?
Morsy back is great as Hull have a very technical midfield with Seri and Morton (two great players) but the energy and strength of Mass and Morsy could cause some issues.
Is Broadhead fit?
Hladky Williams Woolf Burgess Leif Morsy Mass Burns Chaplin Omari/Broady Hirst
That was the difference. I thought we played really well for a lot of that game but were beaten by the individual quality of an Italian international 2 15 million pound attackers and a Colombian international. Not going to face many attacks like that.
