Ennis hits the post!

Not going to happen is it.

Bah 1-1

Can't believe we've scored!

Gally you beauty 

Strange subs

This is where having some pace would come in really handy.

Having none at all, makes life even more difficult.

No shots at all from us in the first 30mins

FFS Pickering. 

Going to be tough to get anything now.

Hull haven't won away since January 2nd.

Oh dear.

Ha, that's the only stat we needed.

Hull are winning this, Twine free kick to boot.

Could maybe switch Trav for Tronstad but I'd go with the above.

When did BBD last miss a penalty?

Good question that.

Probably just my terrible memory.

I never feel confident we'll score penalties though.

Away on holiday so missed the whole game. Disappointed when I saw 2-2 but to see we came from 2 down is encouraging. Didn't realise Szmodics missed a pen though. We really need a decent penalty taker, feels like we've not had one in years.

Great game to watch. Just a few different points without going over old ground.

Buckley took his goal brilliantly with a slightly risky disguised shot, taking it early with zero backlift. You need real composure and technique for this. His confidence improved after this and he was more like his old self, getting involved and some nice touches.

Gilsenan is wiry, with good feet and a good engine. He deliberately wound up the Walsall fans with his goal celebration, and at another point, gestured to the Blackburn End to make a bit of noise. Obviously a confident lad with a bit of attitude, which I like to see.

Garrett was my man of the match. If he can play to that level in a Championship fixture then he will dislodge Travis. He is quicker than Travis with better feet and a much sharper football brain. He ran himself into the ground and his goal was excellent.

I liked Ennis. He is lively and I think he will score quite a few. Trondstadt is tidy but lacking pace.

One final point; Leonard is a good athlete with good positional sense, but disappointingly, he lacks the raw pace of an Adam Armstrong or the powerful running of a Shearer. Both Gallagher and Diaz have more pace. There is nothing he can do about this. It is what it is. He has acceptable pace and is quicker than Vale or Butterworth for example but to be truly effective he really needs to learn how to finish clinically like a Jordan Rhodes.

I believe he will be in good hands with our manager.

I thought Garrett had a good game but he did fade a bit in the second half but then seemed to get back into it a bit for the last 10-15mins.

Also though Brittain had a decent game, not sure where he ended up (in the new JRC RB/CM role by the looks)

Gilsenan is obviously very good with the ball and technically gifted but he's going to need to put a bit of muscle on, as you say very wiry. Lacks pace though.

Adam Wharton was on and off, a few moments of magic but some disappointing play as well. 

Full credit to Walsall though, they gave us a good game and had a blatent penalty not given (or it looked it from where I was sat) and the ball out wide for their second looked superb (going to need a replay to confirm though)

Sounded like Ennis was going to start and basically see how long he could play for.

Assume he'll start and get at least 45mins and see what he's like at half time.

Why are ours the only highlights from all championship games yesterday that aren't available on the skygo app? 

Sky can just f*** off

Great to pick up the 3 points today 🔵⚪

Absolutely made up for Leonard.

👏 

9 added mins! 

Mental 

Wonder if Ennis will get on for the last 15-20mins?

Looking at southampton last night. Travis would be nowhere near that standard. Made up rumour imo

Yeah I don't think they need him but stranger things have happened 

Travis is in the squad today, so can't be anything imminent to Southampton.

If Kane did sign a new contract, he'd be the biggest idiot in the premier league. Spurs are going nowhere, win nothing, and can only aim for scraping into the last Champions League spot. The new manager might do OK, but he'll either be sacked, or leave after a few seasons for a big club with pedigree. Ash Phillips also took a risk in moving there.

He would be beyond stupid to sign a new Spurs contract. If he doesn't get to move to Bayern this summer, he'll have a whole host of options next summer, despite his age.

I'd be tempted to go 4-3-3 today:

                    Kaminski

     JRC, Carter, Hyam, Pickering

          Travis, Tronstad, Buckley

      Markanday, Szmodics, Dolan     

  .

I think Szmodics can do a job up front until hopefully we sign one in the next few weeks and/or Ennis gets up to speed.

I think they need to bring Leonard on slowly.       

Leonard will now start and get a hattrick.

I was thinking this morning he might do something like this. Playing with no striker won't help our cause but he might opt for this instead of chucking Leonard into the deep end.

Has Pears left too? 

No but he's a downgrade on Kaminski for sure
