The M6 again; no unusual speed enforcement in place yet the first lane is at 55/60, the second lane 65 and all the level of busy that you can't just nip round them all and weave in before your exit

How do you go from a half kneel to a salmon dive

Can't argue with most of what you've said here. For me, the frustration was similar things not being penalised equally. Soumare probably did deserve his booking from his few fouls, but then Kovacic has done similar tackles in similar areas and left unpunished. If Bhilal was late on Lewis, Mcatee on Soumare was equally as late, if not later, and went without a booking. If the official is calling these fouls that's fine, it just needs to be consistently done

I think a combination of a better RB alongside a slight change in system could help us. Buonanotte spends most of his time playing as a winger rather than the inside 10 they want. It's whether that's caused by us not transitioning quick enough, or JJ being reluctant/unable to play basically a wing back role

The people who leave early to sit in their cars outside the KP or in the holiday Inn car park are the real confusing ones

Difficult comparison bringing in a fresh Hamza at 70ish mins

He just doesn't suit the wing back role. Struggles to be in the position he needs to be at both ends of the pitch. But to be fair to him, the task he's asked to play is difficult

I don't think he was, maybe needed more confidence to run at his defender, but majority of our creativity was from Bhilal, him and VK

Rico Lewis wasn't as good as he's been raved about. Technically good, but still incredibly raw

Anyone have a clip of the Buonanotte challenge in the box? Didn't get a good view of it

What? Most of the passing combinations we did start from him

I'm really unsure where this suggestion Cover will jump from League 2 to Prem starter has come from. Lads clearly doing well, but well enough to jump 3 leagues, I don't think so

Stolarczyk, Hamza, Alves, Thomas, Wilson-brown and Iversen all either coming through or spending time in the academy is really great to see.

It's been brilliant watching him. Reminds me of foden on the ball, just glides with it. Brilliant find.

I feel for Buonanotte, that role seems a thankless task. Trying to play that inside role, with little to no support from your fullback must be rough

Not booking kovacic for 2 cynical fouls, not booking Mcatee for taking out Soumare, allowed continuous time wasting. Unsure on either pen so won't hold that against him yet.

Would've also been brilliant if they'd brought in a safe standing demo, would hit a huge amount of people and easily accessible. But they would then leave them open to too many positive opinions

As with so many things the club does, the actual effort is good, it's how it's handled. Searches on the fan zone door, not letting those with the free drinks given out by the club in etc is all tone deaf again. What was physically there could be decent, but won't be when the above is what you walk into. Beer being £5.50 continues to be a rip off when there's a bar maybe 15m/20m away either side that offers it for cheaper.

Outnumbered really didn't do itself any justice, episode really went away from everything good about it

I'm wondering if the Nyoni ordeal has altered how we start to manage and use academy players

Trent is incredible, but can be got at given all our opportunities came down that side. Robertson is almost done at top level.

Thought overall ref had a good game. VAR took an embarrassingly long time to sort the decisions however. Must have been frustrating in the ground

Scored a good goal, made a couple of opportunities that lacked the final touch or ball.

Entire ground seemed quiet. We seemed loud for good chunk of first half
