It was absurd ti again suffer Da Costa for an hour - surely that’s the end of him

I’m fine thanks. The next 3 games against genuine contenders in QPR, Boro and Cardiff will tell us more about what level we’re at
Be interesting for us to play a team who actually wants to win and keeps the game open rather than shutting up shop with 45mins left

We seem to be doing quite alright regardless

I agree.

We also have the joint 2nd best defensive record in the league at the moment. And that's whilst starting dabo at CB in two of them. I'm hardly concerned defensively when everyone is fit. Some cover for Maatsen's inevitable suspensions would be nice!

Well enjoy the late winners when we get them. I’m sure we’ll fall victim to them this season.

never realised that about the defence. Much sterner tests to come, but makes you realise how all this stuff we keep hearing about having horrific recruitment etc starts to penetrate your brain.

will be interesting to see if it’s still the case in a month, I’d suspect not but let’s see

Statistically a team will concede a goal per game over the course of a season. Which is why strikers and attacking players have always cost so much more and is also why this is where we concentrated out spending.

I agree I don't think come 10 games time, we will be in the same situation, but I also don't think we will be too bad defensively as we are much more of a threat to teams this season than last, so they won't be looking at us the same as last year in terms of being able to dominate games and score a crap tonne.
