Why this sponsors name business ?

I’ve boycotted because Bonser and Pomlett for a few seasons. Have these announcements been going on for a while.

We’ve had worse days. :slightly_smiling_face:

He loved it! Can’t wait to come back. He will probably bring some sandwiches though.

Team line-ups were read out, but the PA, at least in the middle of the upper tier, was really poor and the team line ups were very difficult to hear.

Goal scorers may have been read out but I didn’t hear them, and I could barely make out the post-match announcements.

It needs to be much louder.

It still showed up on my notifications, but yes fingers crossed. Think that will be a better measure of our true potential but after todays performance have a lot more confidence.

Just noticed that it is repeated at 23:15-01:10 on ITV1. Not sure if that will be standard for the whole season but definitely today and next Saturday too.

:rofl:

that being you can never admit you are wrong…wait for it :no_good_man: :no_good_woman: :ok_man:

:rofl: :joy:

One other thing is how many balls forward we made today. Only went back when we really had to for safety
It was so much more exciting to watch, yeah we lost the ball a few times and some passes were sloppy but it scared them and gave us confidence.
Much love to Flynn for the tactics and style of play and hats Aswell for the corner routine

What a performance.

Special mention to Comley, who is what we have been crying out for years and years. What a fantastic performance in front of the back 4.

Echo a lot of the above - but a mention for Earing, who looked sharp despite not playing any pre season.

We looked like a team who were playing at home for a change.

This made me chuckle

Wasn’t able to catch it live but just seen the highlights and to be honest all I can gleam from them is that DJ can finish and we’re presumably solid as they showed nothing of note from Hartlepool. I’d guess they will be midtable at best so to be better than them we must beat them at home and did comfortably so no reason not to be hopeful after that. I also think you take DJ out the team and we still win.
Speaking of hope, I watched the whole L2 package and with the exception of the absolute farce that was Bradford vs Donnie it does look like the league is slighly less dogshit than last year. Whether that’s down to the fact that last year had a bit of a Covid and bubbles hangover or the standard actually bottomed out last season and this is a bit of a dead cat bouncing type situation I’m not sure but long may it continue!

Has anyone mentioned Timmy’s miss? Was a great passage of play, the correct shot was to the keepers left but goes the opposite and keeper makes a comfortable save.

That would gave done his confidence the world of good

On the Bradford game i speak to a few Bradford fans now and again online they are blaming donny for that today.they said all they were interested in doing was kicking lumps out of them and time wasting horrible team they said they also said Tomlin was a fat disgrace of a player :rofl::rofl:

If you want me to say something negative I’m not going to. We were outstanding all over the pitch. I was particulary impressed with Taylor Allen and Brandon Comley. Keep it up lads.

The only thing I would say is that Hartlepool were absolutely appalling so a bit of perspective is needed on that front.

Happy days though!!!

We’ve played worse teams than Hartlepool and not even managed a goal
I’m delighted :smiley:
