But

“I started the season as a left-back and I’ve been converted into a player playing further forward on the pitch. I’m probably not used to scoring as many goals or getting around those areas as much, but I think I’ve adapted really well and made it my new position. Hopefully I can keep thriving there and hopefully keep scoring.

 

Which admittedly makes no sense given our change of system this season at first team level (the U21s & U18s still play 4-3-3 & 4-2-3-1)

We both know that the formation change happened because we were shipping goals. 

It's solidified us, but we simply don't have the squad to play it - especially not two games a week. Morishita, DeNeve, Henriksson are all square pegs in round holes now.

These Arsenal set pieces are something else.

[StHelensRover]

Fair play to Pompey though they've been having a proper good go at Arsenal so far, I fear they've just made them angry though. It's good to watch. Now time to switch to Hull Vs Rovers.. 🫣

[JPTSwindon]

It's only on TNT isn't it? 

[Exiled_Rover]

Oh hey, we're in green. The kit they don't let us play in.

[AspRover]

A Hull win with McBurnie to score any time at three to one seems mightily tempting

TNT/Discovery+ (all the same company but depends on what service/provider you have)

 

[Paul Mellelieu]

LOL, thought we were in the gold strip for a few minutes.

It came on for me on the TNT red button right at the last minute.

Virgin Channel 521 or something like that

[Old Codger]

Casey Palmer looks like he has grown up a bit, physically at least, if nothing else. 

Rovers looking like Bambi in the headlights..

COYBambi!

[Exiled_Rover]

So Henriksson is playing as a lone striker?

[RevidgeBlue]

Early signs are we're playing ok but zero presence up front as always.

[Exiled_Rover]

Cashin is small for a CB isn't he?

Looks a very fluid front line, Dlamini kind of up with him, but moving into channels, and Powell supporting from central midfield

“The academy is our crown jewel!” 

Manager picks academy lads

””This team is weak as piss!!” “An insult!”

Best first five mins for months, at them like terriers, apart from Miller obv.
