Like it. Really rate Kizzi. Playing him RCB gives Kanu a bit more licence to bomb forward

DB never learns - Brunt!!

I don't get it. For the occasional great pass, he gives the ball away too often

Thanks for the commentary link lads. I did have that open at kick off but it wasn't working but gave up. Is working fine now.

Thomas already booked and fouls Stead again. Ref talks to Josh Wright but no 2nd card.

I agree but the problem is we’ve signed 14 players who, in the vast majority of cases, don’t improve the starting XI. The fact that only three of them are deemed good enough to start (likely four if Browne was fit) and five aren’t even in the squad says a lot. If at the end of last season someone had predicted that we’d be starting this year with Coker and Kanu as our wing-backs and a 31-year-old signed from Ebbsfleet as the replacement for Gorman, I think most of us would have been pretty disappointed. Is the team today any better than the one that played against Solihull? I don’t think so.

The commentators don't agree with this sentiment FWIW, throwing some praise on Brunt just now.

Proceeds to play a key part in the opening goal. This forum never fails to disappoint

We don't need to improve the starting 11. When we were reliant on Hooper, stevens, maguire drew, senior., Cropper..probably missed some others. Our options much stronger.
