The sheer amount of passes he plays and his constant availability to receive the ball means he’s always likely to be caught out at some point. Haven’t watched it back but seemed at the time like he’d maybe caught the floor a bit, hence the underpowered pass. The guy has been as consistent as anyone in the league this season and is integral to the success of this team as anyone. He’s also one of the most honest players you could ever hope to have; he’ll own the mistake, apologise and use it as the catalyst for further great performances. That it hasn’t happened sooner is impressive. He is always willing to receive the ball in tight situations and helps take the pressure off his teammates. As much as the manager loves him, I bet his teammates can’t speak highly enough of him. We’re extremely lucky to have him.

Hahaha, Porteous you collosal tool. Free-kick straight into touch.

Oh good, Hamza on to introduce some calmness, subtlety, silky touches and measured passing to the game..

Please send Porteous off, he’s an absolute thug.

Our midfield aren’t at it, at the moment. Fatawu has made some dumb challenges, KDH has been anonymous, McAteer has looked inexperienced and Praet is fairly insipid. Case in point, KDH’s dreadful role in that breakaway.

Emmanuel Dennis. February 2024.

Jesus wept. That was absolutely minging.

Great to see Porteous fail in his attempt to take Ricardo out. Neanderthal.

What a superb move. Fantastic, measured play by Fatawu and Pereira.

Give Kasey 10 more minutes, as he’s been poor. KDH has been pretty quiet and Nelson got a stupid yellow down to poor initial positioning. Meanwhile Clobber Porteous violently marauds around the pitch scot-free.

He’s half-asleep, last thing he needs is hot chocolate.

Is the ref related to Keith Stroud?

Porteous looks like he’s desperate to wipe out a few of our players. Needs some yoga and camomile tea to chill out a bit.

Watford are closing us down quite quickly but we're looking good whenever we break.

Can we please stop getting stupid yellow cards. McAteer and Mavididi picked up ridiculously stupid bookings. Thought we might have learned from Fatawu’s red.

Last January’s transfer window is partly responsible for the failure this January. Kristiansen and Souttar just under £30m and have been a financial burden this season. No-one is paying what we need for them to help our financial situation out.

Got to feel sorry for the club’s marketing department though - they’re now wondering what to do with the 30,000 Cornettos they were going to give to fans to mark his arrival.

Might be tomorrow, based on how today is going.

I hope that if this falls through, we at least let Sensi keep the Air Miles and the cuddly Filbert.

Dr Rudkin will see you now.

They saw him play?

Praet was due to go to Torino but Enzo jeopardised that by playing him yesterday. So Torino have pulled the deal (£800k) and we’re now scrambling to find the Sensi fee.

Cannon must be chomping at the bit to play against this rabble at the back.

Keith Stroud is a diabolical referee; that's never a penalty. Will take it though. Cheers Keith, you utter bozo.

Jakob looks much better with his hands than his feet, which for most of footballing history has been the right way round.
