MvE looks like someone who is used to playing rb in a 4 who is still learning rwb

He really looks a player. Disciplined in defence, knew when to run with the ball, knew when to put a foot through it, was really impressed.

Extremely exciting. Thought 1mil seemed to much to pay for a 1 trick pony, he seems to have a lot of good qualities. He did extremely well putting the Boro striker off when he basically had an open goal.

 

[clint van damme]

Eccles absolutely brilliant after some extremely unfair criticism recently.

He was outstanding, and still overshadowed by Sheaf.

So are peoples bedsheets safe?

Aside from a happy fart or two, I’d say so.

What a time to be a sky blue supporter! Stayed up all night here in california just to catch the game at 4:30 AM . Excited to see who else we bring in with the gus millions.

Question - when was the last time we owned every player on the pitch ( including subs ) ?

League 2 I suspect. We had no loans at the start of the season iirc

Fair play!

We’re going to love Sakamoto.

 

[Tommo1993]

Honestly we can’t get on VE’s back too early, once he gets up to full fitness I can see him being a real handful. You can see he is reluctant to go past 1 on 1 at the minute and it’s limiting his game

Tbf I think my early disappointment for MVE has been brought on by his socks. Wearing socks that way just screams “I’ll be banging out tekkers from the off”. And he hasn’t yet. I blame the socks.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Get in, extra pint of Mythos in Crete for me tonight

 

[Alkhen]

Sakamoto will get found out with that move eventually.

He won't because all he needs to do is not do it if you get my drift. Just having in your bag will put doubt in defenders minds

 

[Gibbo]

Just think....O'Hare to come. Mind you he will probably be injury cover for palmer

 

[shmmeee]

Eccles and Sheaf were brilliant. Eccles corners much better than I expected too.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

The opposition’s turn this time to miss sitters but considering the last minute Hamer sale and that these players aren’t quite up to speed yet, strong performance. Sheaf and Eccles excellent in the middle, McF commanding at the back and the forwards taking their chances.

 

[Ibby]

To good some good goals scored.

 

[Gibbo]

Last season, Eccles looked very handy in a DMF role (when Sheaf was out). I was always puzzled as to why everybody saw him as an attacking midfielder. With two strikers now, midfield can only be three - so Sheaf, Eccles with Palmer / O'Hare in front.

 

[skyblu3sk]

Godden great game today, fair play trying to stamp his place in the team. Simms very very quiet. Wright looks like he has a lot of pace but may need to build stamina to go with it. Tats did nicely when he came on and looked stronger in the tackle than I expected. Sheaf did brilliantly but still has that frustrating mistake in his game that will hold him back from being as successful as Hamer unless he sorts it. Defence in general looks strong especially Fadz and Thomas. Eccles did really well today dropped his deer in the headlights act looking like he belongs!

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Kudos to Da SIlva also.
He doesn't get many mentions, but i think he's played really well the last 2 games...a proper wingback at last.

He was being written off by some clowns on here yesterday . He’s no Hamer but he’s a solid top end championship midfielder who is still improving

You need to move to the East Coast m8

He will be a steady 7 out of 10 every game I reckon , looks very comfortable in his role

 

[covmutley]

COH to come back, will undoubtedly sign more. The squad will be far stronger than last season, when robins really didn't want to use subs.

And I think that other Binks, all players in today's squad are our players. Think that says a lot. We're progressing!!

 

[its a buzzard]

What about the spunkfest?!?

Beautiful come back the City

Maybe one day. Do enjoy the beaches here tho

 

[Great_Expectations]

Sheaf = poor.

We absolutely need an upgrade.

Edit: read back a few pages before you ‘poo’ this post.

 

[Grendel]

Palmer is such a show pony

Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk

Yeah todays game summed his career up to a tee

 

[Great_Expectations]

In all seriousness, DaSilva will fly under the radar this year and be criminally underrated.

Very composed and confident on the ball. Received it in some awkward and tight spaces yet dealt with it well on the whole. Solid enough defensively too.

 

[theferret]

Well that was excellent. Cheered me up no end. Important we pick up points while the new players bed in and we add one or two more. Couldn't have asked for any more today, some excellent individual performances.

 

[lifeskyblue]

All round good performance. Eccles best game so far, Godden rejuvenated and Fadz just getting better with age. Sloppy period mid way through second half but still battled for everything. Think Lati will get a couple reds this season and both simms and Van Ewjik need a bit more confidence.

Hes very aggressive , a proper battler

 

[fernandopartridge]

Haji goal quite reminiscent of Vik's first goal at the CBS strangely, ball runs loose and smacks it in

£4.70 for a pie nearly half the size of what they used to be was a bit of a blow.

Back to the ‘never buy food/drink in the ground’ mindset.
