I'm not disputing that he was, he was excellent. The argument though, is always that Hyam only played well because he was alongside Batth, it's never considered that Hyam could have brought the best out of Batth as well. I don't know how the partnership could have worked so well if they didn't complement each other.

Who has a stress fracture?

You've totally misunderstood the point, if that's your reply.

I think Batth and Hyam complemented one another, could be argued if Batth was so good, why did Sunderland let him go.

You could be right, he did look quick but Kargbo's pace is something else. Unless he plays them both.

I pointed him out to my daughter(not a regular by any means). A couple of minutes later she said, well he's quick. He was on free kicks and corners,he looks to have a nice left footed set piece delivery.

Millarkey-Matthews(had to look it up) did well when he came on.

I don't see it as Ismael having clout,I see it as him understanding the situation and being willing and able to work with it. If not, it'll soon unravel.

Seemed different to me this one.

Interesting interview that, cheers. Most important thing I took from it was him saying, more than once, that they're paying for mistakes from the past. Quite a candid interview as well, he didn't shirk anything .

This is where alignment is crucial. If he starts sulking about losing players because of finance, he might as well go now. If he understands the club's stance and agrees with it, then he's a chance of working with Gestede to try to build a squad under those parameters .

That aged well

OK, looks to have a good delivery, been on the set pieces.

So, he was willing to accept a new deal, even though he hadn't seen one? That must be the first time ever .

If he was willing to accept before other clubs came in, then why didn't he sign? That comment makes no sense whatsoever.

He could see his old house from there.

They'll be contracts to stay if they sign them.

I remember hearing that Brentford look at teams that are seen to be over achieving, they then scout players from those teams. It certainly works for them, has there ever been a better second tier forward line than the BMW?

Oh I'm sure he will be, just give it time.

I didn't realise the link, but if we've got info from a certain club that others don't, then it would be foolish not to follow it up, if their players are up to it obviously.

Some cherry picking going on here.

5 minutes walk local.

Brutal

We'll done girls, every one of them sang the anthem.
