Yep, not quick enough.

Imagine if he was that composed against PNE a couple of seasons ago... Gueye is an absolute nightmare by the way. Big, strong, physical and the ball sticks to him. Wonderful assist.

That Sargent header was straight at Pears btw - his reactions are shite.

T'was a hospital pass by the GK.

Second best to everything here. Gueye is a nice outlet though.

You don't change a winning team.

Only?! We bought him for over £1m in the first place (their Chairman reckons it's closer to £2.5m). I'd dangle the carrot of the Szmodics sell of fee being paid in one instalment vs £10 a week on the never never in the Poku negotiations.

Bloody hell, are RoversTV sat next to a tannoy speaker?!

Peterborough always charge an arm and a leg, so that would take up almost all of our transfer kitty I'm sure.

Two games, two quality finishes so far.

They've passed every test with flying colours so far, which is all we can currently judge them on.

If we're being miserable I think Brittain, JRC, Travis, Tronstad and Carter will all be eyed up by other teams. They'll know they can get Hyam on a free in the summer.

Initially I thought we'd played a blinder, but his attitude was shocking. He's so soft.

No because they clearly only see him as a squad player, which is why they fucked around for a few weeks haggling over the (for a PL club) insignificant transfer fee. Szmodics owed it to himself to give the PL a go, but he'll have to earn every second of playing time at his new club - they're hardly infatuated with him.

I'll be waiting for the hammer to fall. Squad is way too thin and we have a lot of injury prone players. It's a long season.

We lost about £50k on Ennis in the end.

Sorry, I thought we were talking about Moran. It's been a long day. Yeah I like Ayari, he's got a bit of fight in him.

He has to play as a #10. We tried him out wide and in CM - he was too soft / weak / slow for either of those positions. He pissed me off in the end with his lack of effort after quite a positive start.

Just don't ask him to go in for a 50/50.

We're not a Champions League club where there's a shallow pool of players (that every other Champions League club is also fishing in) that would improve us. We didn't know who Yuki and Gueye were last week and they've both looked up to snuff.

Honestly I think selling Szmodics opens the door for Dolan and Sigurdsson to move inside (assuming they're still here in September). Neither is a winger.

Cult status. What he did last season was astounding. He wasn't here long enough to be a club legend.

Crazy money, but he's young and quick so they fall over themselves for players like that.

That's a tough argument to make. At the start of last season nobody expected Szmodics to score 30+ goals. Ohashi and Gueye already look a damn sight better than Ennis, Telalovic and Gallagher. Weimann looks a very useful addition too. The big loss is A. Wharton, we simply cannot replace him, but otherwise I'd say the squad is about on par with last season. If we sign a few wingers / a LB / a GK it'll be a much better balanced squad than last season.

Tronstad.
