Luke Malin: So Jamie, how are you? Good?
crojam99: Yeah, not too bad weird like i say just back from the dog walk so yeah
crojam99: g
Luke Malin: Did you go... Where'd you go?
crojam99: Amen.
Luke Malin: Count it.
crojam99: No, yeah, just for the camera.
Luke Malin: You don't go for a jog.
crojam99: No, no, I have to avoid all the joggers if I'm honest with you. Yeah.
crojam99: croaky as hell from yesterday, well from Monday, so to say, sorry.
Luke Malin: You lost your voice.
crojam99: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Full on gone and it's still struggling now, so
Luke Malin: How was it? The atmosphere looked sick, especially the goals going in.
crojam99: It was horrible. When we went 1 -0 off and we just sort of... Honestly, they could have scored three or four goals. arguably in that first half.
crojam99: and it was yeah it was a struggle to get through But as soon as the second one in went in eased off a little bit and even even when Their goal went in. I felt like we always carried a threat, so I was nice and relaxed with it. It was good.
crojam99: But the atmosphere was incredible. It was.
crojam99: He's out. Yeah. We was, yeah, everyone around us was going mental. It felt like... I'm not going to say last year that you get used to winning, if that makes sense, but that's why it felt like it, didn't it? Yeah, this year it was like...
crojam99: i think it's going to be like every game the nerves are there for everything and stuff so
Luke Malin: It wasn't until those last few year goals went in. It was still a bit, oh fucking hell, they could score any attack. thing. which is a little bit worrying.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah, it was in the balance, wasn't it?
Luke Malin: But... like you said compared to last year it was that same like we had a We had many games last year where we weren't always... We kept the ball more.
Luke Malin: but there was times where we just go forward and score. and you just you just kept scoring. even though even though not always had the greatest of games, you know, and...
Luke Malin: That's what that's what we're gonna have to rely on is just that we take our chances Because... If you look at... How we're playing then we're just getting dominated
Luke Malin: I think we're like the lowest apart from home. I think we're the lowest possession base team. So we're not going to have the ball. We're not set up in that way are we? We're not really keeping possession very well.
crojam99: No, but I think, I'm pretty sure that I saw a stat, even like Man United, for instance, if they... They win far more games when they've got less of the ball. I think it's a common thread throughout the Premier League.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
crojam99: It's going to suit us great. If Hull have played like that for... That's the second season doing it. and that you have reaping the rewards so it's going to be the same.
Daniel Tierney: as of
crojam99: hopefully for us.
crojam99: Mm hmm.
Daniel Tierney: I was saying to you, Jay, I lost my voice yesterday. I couldn't speak because, and I'll tell you when it was, it was that third goal that Sims scored. because I knew then we'd win the game.
Daniel Tierney: Do you know what I mean?
crojam99: Yes.
Daniel Tierney: At 2 -1, it was like... they come on a bit strong. And they scored that third and the amount of expletives coming out of my mouth.
crojam99: Hey.
Daniel Tierney: And I was trying to be nice as well because... Lapsi was sat next to me and I felt really bad for him because he was just shriveled up in the corner like that.
Daniel Tierney: And I was thinking, oh no, I was like, you know. I've took him here. we've given a good old spanking uh so i just found it harsh
Luke Malin: I love the photo before and after photo.
crojam99: Brilliant.
Luke Malin: So it is.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: Fuck you.
Daniel Tierney: To be fair, he took it quite well, to be honest. I mean, I think he had an outside feeling. They were going to lose. Because he said, every time I go and watch them... But shit, he said every time I watch Newcastle, we lose.
Luke Malin: they weren't they weren't though were they they on another day they could have won five one
Daniel Tierney: It was... No.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah, they were all right.
Luke Malin: like I dare.
Daniel Tierney: They were decent.
Luke Malin: we were calling we had some we were quite open and we got very fortunate. If it weren't for Bobby Thomas, we wouldn't have won that game.
Daniel Tierney: I think. I think what we did really well, though.
Luke Malin: Thank you.
Daniel Tierney: Like. And you probably... all right so We had the two in midfield. and We weren't stepping out to them. It was kind of an old school thing where I...
Daniel Tierney: We know you two centre -halves are pretty shit on the ball. So we're just going to let them have it. Do you know what I mean? And we let them have it. We let them bring it forward as far as they wanted. And then they couldn't find a gap. Like you say, Thomas and Pinnock.
Daniel Tierney: would just literally plug in every single gap. We didn't come out of that shape until we got the ball and then we went and we burst and it was really, really good. so it was a really good setup actually it just meant that they just ran out of ideas and a lot of their shots were There were shots, but they were never really going in, were they?
Luke Malin: Yeah.
Daniel Tierney: I didn't really... They had chances, but they weren't like great chances. And the only thing that happened was we did it a little bit too much. We let him come to the edge of the area and whack one in for 20 yards.
Daniel Tierney: You know.
Daniel Tierney: But you know...
Luke Malin: Two games in a row we're at home.
Luke Malin: to send the folks. Top bin.
Daniel Tierney: I know, I know. Two of the best goals that centre -back will ever score in his life has come against Cobb.
Luke Malin: i don't don't swallow the same.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: But yeah, I think there was like seven seven shots outside the box they wouldn't trouble anyone we've just got to be careful that we don't stand off too much and we give away those easy like they had a couple of that one where
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: you cleaned it off the line I think he killed it off the line twice didn't he?
crojam99: Yeah.
Daniel Tierney: And I was even thinking, I was like...
Luke Malin: He just took his ass out and he was like...
Daniel Tierney: Why has he gone around the goalie? I could see that Thomas was already going. I was like, why hasn't he not just shot? Maybe that's a struggle that's not informed.
Luke Malin: Yeah.
Daniel Tierney: that.
crojam99: No, we'll take it because I think... If you think of the Man City game, it was almost the reversal of that. We had the Newcastle game, if that makes sense.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
crojam99: So it was about time I had changed the weekend. you know. you have to bug a few.
Luke Malin: Okay. Exactly. We've been creating chances. clear cut chances like we're not creating loads and loads of chances but At least we're creating chances that...
Luke Malin: on another day you could score kind of chance. I think that's...
Luke Malin: a positive. Uh,
crojam99: There was others even in this game. If you think Redoni, like... After he'd done that skill to get past the defenders and pulled it back, oh my God, he should have shot 100%.
Luke Malin: shot. Okay.
Daniel Tierney: I don't know what he was doing
Luke Malin: that's not shooting
crojam99: I know.
Daniel Tierney: Doesn't work. let's do it
Luke Malin: Hopefully with confidence he'll just start to do that because he's left footed, isn't he?
Daniel Tierney: Yeah. Top, top.
Luke Malin: Yeah, it was all neat.
Daniel Tierney: That was his best game. last night.
Luke Malin: Yeah.
Daniel Tierney: That was his best game.
Luke Malin: He was class, he was class, Verdoni.
Daniel Tierney: He looked really, really good. And I thought it was, to be honest, I thought it was Grom's best game. I thought Grimes in the first half. was unreal. He was picking up balls. You know, like...
Daniel Tierney: Like last year he'd go and sniff stuff out and he'd like He'd nick the ball off someone, play it, nick the ball off someone, play it. And he was doing that in the first half so well. And, you know, he's looked a little bit off the pace the first few games. I thought he looked really, really good on Monday. He did really well.
crojam99: Like I say, I think they took a step. well not a step they've set themselves 10 yards further back.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
crojam99: It means that there's not that gap for him to have to cover the space. forms part of the defence, doesn't he? If that makes sense. So it suits his game an awful lot better. Because it was the same... Yes.
crojam99: You're on key. In there I thought we played well. But at the same time... Gabriel, if you can cut out the sloppy... Nagy gave the ball away in the first half and sold the box. I had a flashback to the Forest game where obviously they scored, but we got disallowed. You can cut them little stupid mistakes out. He looks like a baller as well. Yeah, and when Nonjeka came on to replace him, it...
crojam99: The legs. We've got options there now. Whereas I think at one point you were thinking...
crojam99: Realistically, it's probably Onyeka. and Yerenky. Whereas now, Grimes has come back into the forward if you can have that sort of... them drop back a little bit i suppose
Luke Malin: Yeah.
Daniel Tierney: I think they probably need him in there. talking and keeping like. especially if you're going to play like we played where we sat We didn't sit in. We weren't like Hull.
Daniel Tierney: It wasn't dull to watch.
crojam99: No.
Daniel Tierney: It was a good watch, but what I'm saying is out of possession when they had the ball. Grimes was getting them in and he was like, right, Kate's like a... Okay. Flat four across the middle. and flat four across the back and it's like, come and try and break us down, lads, because we're not letting you have any space. We're just letting you play in front. And if you had like Onyeka and Juventus in there, perhaps that...
Daniel Tierney: discipline wouldn't be there because they both like to run and they're very good at it but But if you...
crojam99: Yeah.
Daniel Tierney: if you start running and then suddenly you're all out of position and that that whole tactical settle just goes out the window, doesn't it?
crojam99: Yes.
Daniel Tierney: This just holds them for them to run through. Maybe that's what we're learning now. We're sort of having to pick and choose our games. There'll be games where we can go. Like the whole game, really. We're going to dominate the ball there, aren't we? But we just didn't. quite any decent chances there'll be games where you like Okay, those two. get yourselves going and move around the pitch. There'll be games like where we need.
Daniel Tierney: that structure to stop the better teams just flooding through on the counter -attack and stuff like that.
crojam99: Well, they both love a wonder, don't they? So, yeah, you're right.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
crojam99: Grom's needs to be there to basically tell them where they need to be.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: but when
Daniel Tierney: talented players but yeah
Luke Malin: In those games where we are sitting back... Grimes can play. but when we when we've got a press up
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: and we're the ones like you say keeping the ball That's where... he might get found out. Because he's...
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: is too slow. and it's not physical enough. But... Because we've now suddenly dropped and we're playing in that, I think he fits in well. He's winning tackles, he's getting stuck in. He was like tracking his man so well.
Luke Malin: Before, he was off it, wasn't he?
Daniel Tierney: He was.
Luke Malin: He wasn't close to anyone.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah, it was
Luke Malin: It felt like... the game was running past him but last night he was chasing people down he was right behind them
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: you weren't giving them like a minute as well. So I think that's improved.
Daniel Tierney: I think that will give him a massive boost as well because he'll be thinking now. Yeah, I'm a Premier League player. Do you know what I mean? Even with the experience he's got, he'll need that still. That'll be a big question, mate. You know, a lot of people said that.
Daniel Tierney: Preseason. They didn't fancy glimes. But the gaffer obviously does. And there's a reason for that. Hopefully it'll help.
Luke Malin: Well, he's got those little touches, hasn't he?
Daniel Tierney: Mustapha.
Luke Malin: So there was a couple of times in the game where the ball comes from and he'll just play it first time into the space.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: He's got that quality to do that.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: We don't really have... If you look at Onyeka, he's not a ball -playing midfielder. Yeah. when she's like it's not bad i think he's got a lot of way to improve but he's obviously got the ability But he's like...
Luke Malin: the number one on the ball. We need more players with his level on the ball really, don't we?
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: Like this. you get the ball forward and if it's not there, which it's not going to be...
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: he's not going to really be up that high up the pitch anymore. you're sort of relying on the donut to keep the ball flowing.
Daniel Tierney: I think that's where you might see Hamer get a bit more game time when he gets fit. Because. He's obviously not in favour at the minute, but he can. turn a game for you, do you know what I mean? He can...
Daniel Tierney: He's got that touch. He's thinking. you know, two steps ahead of everyone else really on the pitch because he's creative. That's what he does. Obviously I think for now... Frank's just finding that. formula where he's like I can win games with this do you know what I mean Let's not change it too much because why would you, I suppose? I wouldn't expect him to change too much for the next game.
Daniel Tierney: against Spurs because That's a winnable game. They'll obviously be... better in possession, they'll control the ball. But we've got to try and do it. But they can't score either. So we've got a real chance to get another result. Do you know what I mean?
Daniel Tierney: Maybe that formula will be the one to use for the next game.
Luke Malin: Yeah. Awesome.
crojam99: I think how many games is there going to be though where we won't be... the ones that are sitting back, other than Holt. I even think back to Ipswich last year where they were probably the better team.
crojam99: I...
Daniel Tierney: could sell identity
crojam99: It's sacrilege to say, but I think Ipswich were probably the best team in the league last year, even though we won it by 10 points.
Daniel Tierney: Oh you wanker.
crojam99: All right.
Daniel Tierney: Oh.
Daniel Tierney: God.
Luke Malin: Do you know what? I thought the same until I watched...
Daniel Tierney: Kick him off this podcast.
Luke Malin: I watched a video of an Ipswich player right in the teams this season. And he said something like... he thinks covered dog and they're going down even though they were in the league and that just made me like Hey, it's rich now like in mind.
Daniel Tierney: Fucking Ipswich all over.
crojam99: Yeah, I'm not saying that.
Luke Malin: I agreed with you. I agree with you like They were the better team. We got them. battered by them really every time we went to play them their counter -attack just smashed us
Daniel Tierney: We froze, didn't we?
Luke Malin: and we've always we always uh we're always set up to like That's what I thought we'd struggle with. To be honest we have. done so far. But yeah, I agree with you.
Luke Malin: Ipswich were one of the better teams in the league.
crojam99: So who are we going to be the ones where we'll be the aggressors?
crojam99: That's what I mean. So we might need to buckle up and this is it for the season. Because over the whole away, and they might offer maybe a little bit more when they're at home.
Daniel Tierney: Yes.
crojam99: I don't know. you're going to play any different against.
Luke Malin: There's not going to be many scenes where we're going to...
crojam99: Yeah. Maybe you're not, because that shit's...
Luke Malin: Dumb it. You know, yeah.
Daniel Tierney: I think you're right, though.
Luke Malin: uh
Daniel Tierney: But we said that last week, though, didn't we? We were like... you know, at the end of the day. There can be a compromise sometimes between trying to play amazing football and... just trying to dig a win out or trying to dig a point. If we've got to do that, that's fine. But what I did like was...
Daniel Tierney: The fact that we... we're not sitting in like you know like when we played that whole game God, that must be a tough watch watching them. They're like... Do you know what I mean? And that's no disrespect because I...
Daniel Tierney: they're getting results which is great but They don't offer anything, do they? Do you know what I mean? We're trying to offer in games. You know, a lot of attacking football. We've got some really... talented players. We've got some people with really sharp feet who can twist and turn and beat men and it's exciting to watch. You know. As long as you've got that at the top end of the pitch, like a front four, that's actually...
Daniel Tierney: got something about them. then you don't mind sitting in for... Yeah. a little bit and then and then playing and then sitting in and then playing you know i mean and playing in those chunks That's fine.
Luke Malin: I think but if you look at our expected goals we're last. in the league. Like Paula Hoy as a nurse.
Daniel Tierney: We're below the nugget on that.
Luke Malin: Okay. But... Bye. That was... I think that's just because... We struggled those first couple of games. I think that might change going forward where, like you said, a bit of confidence.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: I'm not. completely sold on the wingers at the moment to be honest uh mason clark i just don't he's not doing it is he he's not in the game when he gets it he makes the wrong decisions I know he's good. And I know he potentially can do it. He's got the ability. He's skillful and strong, but it's just not happening for him right now.
Luke Malin: is it?
Daniel Tierney: I always thought when he come back in from the injury. I thought he was a massive boost. The first couple of games he played, he was so good. Good night. He just didn't seem at it, like, Monday night. And I don't want to be asking him, because I think he's... Top player, I think he'll... I think he'll be one of our better players this year. But he wasn't at the races on Monday night.
Daniel Tierney: at all. And bringing Sakamoto on.
Luke Malin: I haven't seen it in filming. i haven't seen anything
Daniel Tierney: Him and Van Eewit down the right -hand side was like... Old times, you know what I mean? where they just harassed their left -hand side.
Luke Malin: Why don't we start now?
Daniel Tierney: Do you know what I mean?
Luke Malin: He doesn't start in though, I don't think... the trusting full knowing here or starting it.
Daniel Tierney: I don't understand why.
Luke Malin: I think he should play. I think he should play.
Daniel Tierney: Because when you watch, people say, oh, he's maybe not as physical.
Daniel Tierney: And maybe you're right, but he doesn't lose a header. ever. The Spain is to lapses like you don't lose a header
Luke Malin: It's fucking great! Leap is incredible!
Daniel Tierney: Yeah. I'm... And the way he took the ball off Lewis Hall.
Luke Malin: And then he always breaks it back, though. I didn't get pinched.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah. when he took the ball off Lewis Hall. for that goal.
Daniel Tierney: You know, that's tenacity. That's him like going, well, okay, you go try and lean on me. I'll get in around you another way. Do you know what I mean? And he's got that, which makes up for his lack of physical presence. And he's pacey. You know what I mean? He's got pace. He cuts inside.
Daniel Tierney: Delivers great balls. I think he might be pushing for a start next game, you know.
Luke Malin: What do you think, Jamie, of the wingers at the moment? going forward. like and i'm talking like the quality i know work ethic is there I'm not knocking any of that.
crojam99: Yeah.
Luke Malin: but Sante, his passing is terrible. you cannot ask for
crojam99: He kept choosing the wrong option on Monday. There was a couple of times you just slide the fucker in and he's tried some elaborate chip ball when you're like, it's not there. I think...
crojam99: as I think he's going to go down the route of... graft graft and more graft and i think it's so for instance The lad who signed for Burnley wasn't even on the bench and he was asked afterwards whether it was.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Daniel Tierney: Graf?
crojam99: with regard like there was an injury and he just said no So to me, that sounds like... either he's was just forthright with the answer or there's an issue there and the lad that we've signed on the last day of the season
Daniel Tierney: Are the guys my friends?
Luke Malin: You know the way I'm doing that.
crojam99: Yeah, he kicked off because he didn't get on apparently after the game. So... they're your two replacements. So it's not looking good if you want to change it up.
crojam99: You've got to stick with the old guard, mate.
Luke Malin: What's up? That's 30 million down this morning.
crojam99: effectively yeah nearly 40 million pounds basically it's up there it's so good
Daniel Tierney: To be honest To be honest though, like... graft can be the way forward.
crojam99: Hmm?
Daniel Tierney: Do you know what I mean?
crojam99: Hmm?
Daniel Tierney: And like, that shout on her, he looked decent, but... he's never going to double up and help out his full -back as much as Mason Clarke, Sakamoto, Thomas Asante. Do you know what I mean? That's the beauty of.
Luke Malin: But you can see you've got Billy here, don't you? Peace.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah, yeah
Luke Malin: he's got ability that's what i can see why they've signed him
Daniel Tierney: I mean...
Daniel Tierney: Oh, 100%. I mean, you know, when he takes a player on, he takes him on, do you know what I mean? And he goes past him quite easily. But sometimes I just think, you know, relationships on the pitch is important as well. And particularly that.
Daniel Tierney: Sakamoto. and Van Ewit won. So big for us last year. Sometimes I just think... Can't we just give it a go? Do you know what I mean? We've seen a little glimpse of it for, what, 25 minutes on Monday.
Daniel Tierney: It looked like... I mean, like... old times.
Luke Malin: he's doing right
Daniel Tierney: It was just so amazing. So.
Luke Malin: He did that against Hall, didn't he, when he came on?
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: the energy.
Daniel Tierney: So what? I don't know, but... Yeah, I would certainly be looking at Sakamoto and going... Bye. We'll give him a start. I would.
Daniel Tierney: Anyway.
crojam99: I think now we've got so We started with... top three in our first four games. we've got them out the way i think they've seen a level they understand now what's required like If you think back to the Forest game,
crojam99: the Well, the effort that was required to get that... over the line was insane.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
crojam99: But I felt like on Monday... They knew that now. They knew what was needed to get over the line.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
crojam99: and they've shown that. Buh There's an awful lot of our players that were here last season were in that starting team.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
crojam99: So he's already built the trust up from last season. And if they can show that they can play at this level, they'll do the work. then I don't see why you will bring anyone else in or need to. So, yeah, like I say. there was option to bring other people off the bench and he chose Sakamoto because he knows what we get from him.
Daniel Tierney: What did you think of I shot the sheriff up front?
crojam99: Yeah.
Luke Malin: it's called Go.
crojam99: Yeah, and he got the penalty effectively.
Luke Malin: Done. And he got the penalty.
crojam99: Mm.
Daniel Tierney: Bye.
Luke Malin: I thought when we went long, his hold up play wasn't too bad. I thought there was a moment where you can see if he can continuously do that.
Luke Malin: it'd be good because he laid it off a couple of times. The long ball. He stayed up, didn't he? he stayed up quite a bit when we were trying to count and we had a couple of
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: a couple of chances going forward on the counter. Uh... He's young. I think we just need to give it a bit of time with him. I think he must be showing some ability in training.
Luke Malin: So.
Daniel Tierney: I'd imagine he must have something there, wouldn't have picked him up. for no reason, but. I kind of agree with you, I was a little bit It was one of those ones where, you know, if Sims or Roy had played like he played.
Daniel Tierney: And even though he scored, because they've done the same. He would be getting powders on the forum. because he didn't win a header. Didn't hold the ball up particularly well. He ran around and he did make himself a nuisance. And ultimately...
Daniel Tierney: made two massive contributions in the game. I really want him to do well. But I do feel, and I was saying to Lapsley, like literally with like... Five minutes played in the second half. There was a ball that went in.
Daniel Tierney: And santé do me dear. And if he's on his toes, he scores. Do you know what I mean? But he was just sort of...
Luke Malin: you float
Daniel Tierney: labouring at the back post he didn't really
Luke Malin: Okay.
Daniel Tierney: He didn't really see it happening. And I was like... I'll be getting Sims on a word. Because he'll. make a nuisance of himself. He'll win headers. He's got.
Daniel Tierney: Looks like he's... better on the ball in him as well. I did feel like... maybe just needed to pay an hour and then come off, but... Yeah.
Daniel Tierney: He's only going to get better, isn't he, at the end of the day?
crojam99: Yes.
Daniel Tierney: If that's his starting level, then he's going to get better with the more experience he gets. Like you say, he's only 19. Yeah, I'm not. going to knock him at all because he did a real good job. But I just felt like, yeah, if that was other players in the team, he would be getting powders right now.
Daniel Tierney: Do you know what I mean?
crojam99: Yeah, 100%. But it's almost like I felt... He didn't know where he needed to be at certain times. And you could see Rudy trying to have Lowe constantly coaching him through the game.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
crojam99: There'd be points where a ball would be played and that's the obvious pass. And he's the other side of the pitch, like, wandering around.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah. Yeah.
crojam99: But he'll get that, I suppose, and that'll come. But I do get what you're saying with regards to Sims, for instance, if you sat around where I sit. See you. Sims is the most hated man in Coventry.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: I've got a soft spot for Simpsons.
Daniel Tierney: I love Sims.
Luke Malin: I think he gets it.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: I think he's like, I wanna see him do well. he's one of those you can see he's a shy person i just want him to be he's a big
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: I just wanna... I just wanted to like... boss a game he did it against against Arsenal.
Daniel Tierney: It did.
Luke Malin: Gabrielle, it's fucking...
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: We bossed them. No one can believe it. Au revoir. Who the fuck's this guy, though? putting his weight around
Daniel Tierney: This is...
Luke Malin: is normally He normally doesn't do that.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah. This is where I lock off.
Daniel Tierney: I think he's been a bit out of Dumbo because he had that opening game. And you're doing so well. And then he just ain't started since. And you're like. You've basically dominated the best centre -half. in the Premier League. And then you go, well, actually...
Daniel Tierney: sling you on the bench, do you know what I mean? Felt quite a bit for him, but... but yeah like you know it's just Just my opinion, but I just feel like, you know, if right, does that. Oh, Simmons is out.
Daniel Tierney: They'll be getting powers.
Luke Malin: But Wright does that. right and then it scores like sharif did and then it's like doesn't matter i think that's the thing if he scores i don't really care too much if simpson gone
Daniel Tierney: No, no, I know
Luke Malin: And he's a donkey for 90 minutes, but he scores a goal. Starting. Bye. What the hell? Strikers, I think sometimes, as long as they're putting the ball in back of their head. I don't really mind
Daniel Tierney: Yeah, tomorrow. No, I don't mind.
Luke Malin: They've got to work hard.
Daniel Tierney: Good night.
crojam99: The Simpsons goal. No, I was already up. in arms about the foul on the edge of the area looking the other way shouting random expletives
Daniel Tierney: Oh yeah.
crojam99: and then yeah and then everyone's going crazy Fuck's sake.
crojam99: So...
Luke Malin: But yeah, I'm glad he scored.
Daniel Tierney: It was weird.
crojam99: Yeah.
Luke Malin: I'm glad he scored. That's what you want. Four different scorers.
Luke Malin: that was what was happening last year weren't that there wasn't like one bike right got the most goals but it was shared around the team We had goalscorers in every position. That's going to be key this year.
Luke Malin: that people are confident that they can get in and chip in on a goal.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah, no, you're right. I think you're exactly right. That's how we did it last year. Obviously, you have Reut, Sims and Asante who scored the most. But then you had like Redonis, Sakamoto's, everyone sort of chipping in and it was...
Daniel Tierney: That's what we're probably going to have to do this year. going to just rely on you know Football is different now. You've got Haaland. Even if you look at fantasy football, right?
Daniel Tierney: And you look in the strikers section, you think, fuck me, there ain't a lot. Bye. You've got Haaland. You've got Isak. You've probably got Jal Pedro. And after that...
Luke Malin: Calvador.
Daniel Tierney: Have you got a centre forward that you can genuinely see scoring over 20 goals in the Premier League? Because I don't see anyone. Do you know what I mean? And there'll be some random fucker who does it. But...
Daniel Tierney: Honestly, when you look past that, you're going... So if one of our strikers can get... 8 9 10 then then we're laughing. And then everyone else just needs to chip in. You know Redoni's going to get a few. because that's just how he plays.
Daniel Tierney: and then probably Asante or... Mason Clark, they'll chip in as well. But. Yeah. It needs to be shared out within the team because at the minute football's just not built like that, is it?
Daniel Tierney: You just don't get it anymore.
crojam99: I don't think there's anyone in our team. Roy and Sims have had them seasons in the Championship. But yeah, I think you'd be lucky to get 10 out of them each. Bye.
crojam99: But I just think we've got to be prepared for the fact there was, what, nearly 100 goals last season.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
crojam99: The best thing that came out of... Monday night is the goal difference. All of a sudden, we look like we were the outliers at the bottom of the table, minus 10 goals.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
crojam99: Two games later, we're back in with, I know it's still minus six, but it's back in with everyone else and you're in and around that sort of figure again. And that's, yeah, if we can... We need to avoid the five nils I think and if we can if it's a 1 -0 or a 2 -1 and we can keep it that way We'll get to a fair... fair share of points I think.
crojam99: Sorry.
Luke Malin: yeah i think that brian game was that was a one -off like that they we didn't tactically. we'll settle properly we got played through too easily and then we had a man sent off and then we didn't change anything.
Luke Malin: I think. I'll be surprised if that happens again. unless we get a man sent off.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: stroke. But we should be in like if you look at the Man City's results like if Smash to everyone. Except for us. like we were one now we could have gone another like could have been another way that game So I always think at the moment like I'm quite positive. After last night I was buzzing.
Luke Malin: Because obviously we went for one and it wasn't as stressful as not far as But I was buzzing. and it made me think out it's gonna be actually like we can There's going to be some games where we can actually win.
Daniel Tierney: No, you're right. I mean...
Luke Malin: with a few goals.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: Thanks.
Daniel Tierney: No, you're right. I think, to be honest, I... Even before we won that first game, the first few games. If you ask me. Can we beat Forrest? Can we beat... Newcastle I'm like yeah Because...
Daniel Tierney: When you go up and watch or you watch on the TV or whatever, if you watch the whole game. You can see. that we're not, apart from the Arsenal game, we were terrible in that. The other games, you can see, we're playing some superb football at times.
Daniel Tierney: And it's only going to be a matter of time before we get that goal. And then it's going to be another goal. And then... There'll be points on the board. Yeah, I think you're right. No. you know don't get carried away like oh we're gonna finish in europe but you know i mean stupid like that but but like But we could finish.
Luke Malin: Yeah.
Daniel Tierney: Mid -table. There will be Premier League teams here scared now going, fuck me. Ipswich, Hull and Cobb are not rollovers. We're in the fucking shit. Do you know what I mean? And that...
Daniel Tierney: also will breed like A lack of confidence in their camp. So, you know, when we come to play them, we can take points off anyone at the minute. We just keep doing what we're doing.
crojam99: Hold on.
Luke Malin: Jamie will be set.
crojam99: Hold on.
Luke Malin: if we weren't last night we're in on monday would be in europe so
crojam99: It's a fact. Boy, you've lost your space.
Daniel Tierney: Sorry, have I just poo -pooed you
crojam99: Yeah, but don't worry.
Luke Malin: But we're on the same points as United, so I'll take that.
crojam99: I'm still going with it.
Daniel Tierney: I'm sorry mate.
crojam99: Yeah, come on. I'm not upset about that, but the... The. the whole game on this weekend. I'm going to start it. which way you want it to go.
crojam99: because they've got full on. And I'm like, do we want Hull to drop?
Luke Malin: Drill.
crojam99: I don't think Hull are going to drop off, you know. And I know everyone thinks it is, but I think they know what they're doing. Maybe not to the level Sheffield United did it a few years ago. where they finished seventh in the end or whatever it was.
crojam99: I feel like they'll...
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
crojam99: I do think that they're going to stick around because they know how to play. they know what they're doing. And they're not switched.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
crojam99: So even if they get halfway through the season, they could be on a decent points tally already. So I don't think they're going to get dragged into it as much as I want them to.
Daniel Tierney: You might be right.
crojam99: I'm old. I'm almost one. them to do full on. because we've got them the game after. And that could be massive for us. My only concern is I think he'll then get sacked and then they probably do all right after, which is again my concern.
crojam99: Yes.
Luke Malin: Thomas Frank is linked, I think.
crojam99: Who?
Luke Malin: Thomas Frank.
Daniel Tierney: Thomas Frank. Yeah, he's a decent manager, he is to be fair.
crojam99: There he is.
Luke Malin: That's the problem.
crojam99: Amen.
crojam99: Yeah.
Luke Malin: That's why I say a draw. keeps him in the job.
crojam99: Okay.
Daniel Tierney: Just keep him till Christmas. If we could accumulate enough points by then, we'd be all right.
crojam99: Yeah, Man City are going to get done as well. So that's another space taken.
Luke Malin: for blood to happen.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: No, that needs to happen this season. I'm begging them to do it this season.
crojam99: Yeah.
Daniel Tierney: They reckon it'll be early next year.
Luke Malin: Okay.
Daniel Tierney: So. Amen. That should mean that it will. whatever it is will come into effect for the end of the season but who knows i mean They'd appeal after appeal, weren't they? They might get dragged out.
Daniel Tierney: Just got to leave that for now I think. just try and concentrate on
Luke Malin: Yeah, we can't worry about that, but I'm hoping that's saving the race.
crojam99: Europe.
Daniel Tierney: Europe, yeah, sorry, mate. Yeah, Australia and Europe, yeah. Well, that's what I was going to say to you. I was going to say. Bye. Nuts on the table now. What position do you think we're finishing in this year?
Luke Malin: I think. Like 16th.
crojam99: I think 14.
Daniel Tierney: I went 14th. I fight.
crojam99: Yeah.
Daniel Tierney: i just I don't want to get too erect about everything, but I just feel like... i just I just feel like.
Daniel Tierney: You know, when you look at a group of players... And like, we're not talking about stats or any of that bollocks. You just look at them and you're like... Number one, they're up for it. Number two, they're better than a lot of other teams think they are. Do you know what I mean? People look at Cov and go, he's got championship players. No.
Daniel Tierney: These lads didn't just win the league last year, they stormed it. And. I think we've got a really... Uh... young side. who are keen to prove themselves and they will.
Daniel Tierney: Learn. From Frank Lampard. I think he's the perfect manager for him. He's got all the experience in the world. And I just think we're going to stay up.
Luke Malin: Yeah.
Daniel Tierney: I'm not saying it's going to be comfortable. I think 14th, I think we could get there. I mean I really do. All right.
crojam99: I think...
Luke Malin: It's gonna be a slog.
crojam99: Yeah.
Luke Malin: I can only go off how we played the first six games. I know we played the top three teams.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: But... It's been... Toff. it's been tough we obviously played we got four one last on I keep saying last night, but Monday. But it wasn't a 4 -1 game. Was it really?
crojam99: No, but I saw some guy on Talk Talk, some absolute pilchard, and he was saying that...
Luke Malin: It wasn't a... Okay.
crojam99: We could play this game 99 more times again and they would have won every time. And we're such a terrible team.
crojam99: And I was like, there's something about... the fact that
crojam99: A Newcastle fan.
Daniel Tierney: That explains it then.
crojam99: and Yeah.
Daniel Tierney: Fucking...
crojam99: But I think there's something in the fact that we are used to winning. And these lads like... It doesn't matter. There was plenty of games last year. I always refer back to Sheffield.
crojam99: Wednesday game where we wouldn't 5 -1, 5 -0 or whatever it was and they hit the bar four times and it looks like a storming result but that just seems to be how it's going for us.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: Yeah.
Luke Malin: Yeah.
crojam99: They just believe that that's what's going to happen. I fully believe they think they're going to stay up. and they can do something this league like when redoni was asked about it was what was he what did he say when he was asked where what can you do this season he said we'll finish wherever we decide to finish if that makes sense so there's that confidence it's not
Luke Malin: Yes.
crojam99: oh we'll finish you know we're aiming for 17th or whatever it is, 18th or whatever.
Daniel Tierney: I love that by the way.
crojam99: 100%.
Daniel Tierney: I love that.
crojam99: Absolutely. And I think That's. They've got something in them. Newcastle were never going to win that game yesterday. Like. Coventry were going to win that game.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
crojam99: If that makes sense.
Daniel Tierney: Okay.
crojam99: It doesn't mean anything. I'm not saying anything, but it...
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
crojam99: It was the vibe that was there.
Luke Malin: i think also as well like if we can keep that intensity and that belief and that how we play a game Thank you. Stats this season will probably not be in our favour most of them.
Luke Malin: But... what we will be better than a lot of teams if like you said the the belief the togetherness a team that's He's playing, like you said, he's playing majority of the players from last year that all know each other, all friends and is a good group.
Luke Malin: Some of them have come in and obviously they've got to get involved as well. That's going to be helping. Lampard's playing a lot of the players as well. Thomas Asante is not the best footballer.
Luke Malin: But... His work ethic is... fucking phenomenal. like he does not stop running he gets back he tracks back He's got a decent shot on it. He hit the post, didn't he, on a fucking reason.
Daniel Tierney: That was a great effort, that was. Yeah.
Luke Malin: He's in the team for that. If he didn't work that hard, he probably would never play a minute.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: No, and that is what we will have better than some teams.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah, I agree.
Luke Malin: If you look at Fulham... let's go left like lost a few players they've got a new manager they don't seem clicking together And who else? United all over the shop. I'm not saying United are going to go down, but they're really struggling. They've got no togetherness. So there's a lot of clubs and teams that are struggling because they don't have what we have.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah. No, 100%. We've got likeable players. We've got players who are winning tonight. Put their nuts on the line for the team, do you know what I mean? you know and that's that's what it's built on and can you imagine like some of these players who come up with this last year. We've signed. 120 whatever million pounds were for players and thought, oh.
Daniel Tierney: But every time they play. How big does their chest get afterwards? They're like fucking started again. Do you know what I mean? Can you imagine? They're going to grow with more and more confidence because they're going to be like, well...
Daniel Tierney: I'm stamping my own. Do you know what I mean? Destiny, yeah. I'm coming and I'm a Premier League footballer now. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Some teams, Man Utd is a perfect example. Just a lot of dislikable players.
Daniel Tierney: not honest players, you know, like players who are willing to coast sometimes, you know, and I'm not talking about all of them, you know, you've got players like Maguire and Mbwemo who are... who are 100 % every week. at least at least you know effort wise but How do you like? So my appraise.
Daniel Tierney: Just, they're not, they're not.
Luke Malin: Yeah. I think a lot of Premier League clubs, they're not allowed to lose.
Daniel Tierney: Hope for it. You know what I mean?
Luke Malin: Like, every time it's a loss, it's like, oh my God, we can't, we shouldn't be losing.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: Like, United is a typical example, the pressure and the expectation on them. is that they should be winning the league every year even though the team's not very good. So there's that constant like pressure. We don't have that.
Luke Malin: There's no real pressure on us. Okay, if we lose five games in a row, there'll probably be a bit of pressure.
Daniel Tierney: No.
Daniel Tierney: Then he'll be fresh, yeah.
Luke Malin: I think that's to our advantage. We can go into games where we can just just work hard and play our game. it got to the forest game where we're like fucking hell we really need a resort here so there's probably going to be those moments but in general I just think yeah.
Luke Malin: exactly what you said like the the players i think they all get along togetherness that's gonna
Daniel Tierney: Speaking of confidence as well.
Luke Malin: That's going to help.
Daniel Tierney: Like. My man, that phoony guy. Fucking... His goal, right? His goal was not only class. But did you say... Instead of going and celebrating in the corner with our fans, he ran straight over to the Newcastle fans and he'd give it all. And I was like.
Daniel Tierney: I fucking love this guy. He is... He's a superb footballer. And he's got all the belief in the world that he is. the best player on the pitch whenever he goes on there.
crojam99: Yeah.
Daniel Tierney: You can just see it. And I'm just like. God, I hope Man City get relegated and we can just buy him at a cut price next year because...
crojam99: Yeah. Okay.
crojam99: Amen.
Daniel Tierney: I've seen enough already. I love him. I think he could be. I think he could be a really good player. I wouldn't be surprised if he... If he has a good season there, he starts getting called up for England on the regular.
Daniel Tierney: Do you know what I mean?
crojam99: Well, he's in the under 21s already, isn't he, at 18?
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
crojam99: But did you see what he said afterwards? He scored. He was like, I didn't know what to do, so I just went over and gave my load of shit.
Daniel Tierney: I love that. Any player who's got that in them.
Luke Malin: The next.
Daniel Tierney: They're a fan favourite immediately.
crojam99: Yeah, 100%.
Luke Malin: At the end of the game he was like watching a replay. and he was like this and he was like...
crojam99: Yeah.
Luke Malin: Just like...
crojam99: Yeah.
Luke Malin: Ireland style smirking at it.
crojam99: Yeah.
Daniel Tierney: I was trying to explain to Lapsley that he's...
crojam99: would
Daniel Tierney: He's a centre -half. slash left back. And he's like, what? I was like... Yeah, I was like... And he's just absolutely dropped the shoulder, danced around and just put it where the keeper can't get it.
Daniel Tierney: No, I mean, it's...
Luke Malin: When he came on, did he play in the midfield though? He was part of the holding two, was he? Or did they play three at the back?
crojam99: No, they play three at the back.
Daniel Tierney: Three at the back, yeah.
Daniel Tierney: He switched it to three at the back, yeah.
Luke Malin: So he'll probably only play if we play three at a back.
Daniel Tierney: Possibly.
Luke Malin: Unless the silver gets dropped.
Daniel Tierney: Possibly because the two fullbacks are pretty nailed on as well. You might be right, but you never know. He might even go into midfield. He could play in the midfield, in my opinion.
Luke Malin: in the light spot.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
crojam99: Thanks.
Daniel Tierney: It's not a bad option to have, let's put it that way.
crojam99: They're going to be in a back three. I think every away game will be a back three. your likes of Man City, Liverpool at home will be a back three. So he's probably still... loyalty to get. 30 games just for that formation.
Daniel Tierney: hundred percent of
crojam99: So...
Daniel Tierney: Because. Because, you know. At the minute, I wouldn't dislodge Thomas or Pinnock. I thought they were... I thought they were both outstanding. Monday.
Daniel Tierney: Pitt Pinnock.
Luke Malin: i'm going to the tomatis.
Daniel Tierney: See you.
Luke Malin: The play of the season already.
crojam99: Hey.
Daniel Tierney: Who's that?
Luke Malin: I think Thomas will be playing this season.
crojam99: Oh, I thought it was a pennant
Daniel Tierney: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Luke Malin: That's my bat who will play this season will be Thomas already.
Daniel Tierney: He's been brilliant. I think Pinnock, the fitter, because he obviously come in. Late late signing. But... The fitter he gets, I just think he looks so good. Like, he... He's a proper leader.
Daniel Tierney: He's a... Proper centre -half. He's good in the air. He's quite quick for an old fella. And he's... Good on the ball, man.
Luke Malin: Is it?
Daniel Tierney: Make some big tackles. And he talks, you can tell. you know, him and Bobby look really, really good. considering when Emenda got injured. I was fearing the worst because...
Daniel Tierney: we haven't seen Yeah. Foonie yet? And. you know Pinnock hadn't really got into his stride yet. It's fucking... At the minute, we're not missing him at all.
crojam99: No, I think he's the perfect foil for Thomas.
Daniel Tierney: Not missing at all.
crojam99: He talks him through the game and has that experience.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
crojam99: Yeah.
Luke Malin: you don't learn a lot
crojam99: I don't see anyone getting past that.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
crojam99: if I'm honest. Like I say, based on everything, I think he will play. Pretty much every game now does
Luke Malin: stay fit yeah
crojam99: Yeah.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
crojam99: Yeah.
Daniel Tierney: He's a proper centre -half.
Luke Malin: I think you're Brentford's best player. went like for many years
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: he was like their best player and before they got promoted like in the championship and the first couple of seasons they all loved him he just he got injured and then he obviously got a bit old but
Daniel Tierney: He always...
Luke Malin: from what we can see if you can just if he doesn't get caught. in bad spaces where he's got to use pace.
Luke Malin: You said he's got a bit of pace. I haven't seen much of it yet.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah. Do you know what? I was just judging him off my own standards.
Luke Malin: yeah it's published
Daniel Tierney: I mean...
Luke Malin: That's probably what it is. You're like fucking out of place.
Luke Malin: No, I'm joking, obviously.
Daniel Tierney: Once his legs start going, once them old badgers start churning, he's gone, I'm telling you.
crojam99: Yeah. Yes. It's falling downhill. he I think there was a point where he did get turned and the guy ran away from him, but it was almost like...
crojam99: his knowledge to cut the angle in a certain way was what got him back in. There was one recovery where he did look like he had a little bit of pace, but I think it was more the fact that he...
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: but maybe that was it i missed that
crojam99: Yeah, there was a time in what would have been the second half.
Daniel Tierney: Okay. gone out for a cup of tea at that point, had you?
Luke Malin: i saw when uh that tore come on on the right wing he was rapid and he was again
Daniel Tierney: He was good. Yeah.
Luke Malin: De Silva, the ball got played over, De Silva was in front and then just suddenly this guy...
Daniel Tierney: Oh, no.
Luke Malin: went past them and i was like oh my god he's gonna get all they all they had to do was go give the ball to him
Daniel Tierney: I know.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: and run at De Silva. He's got no chance. But uh... it didn't happen so but the silver i don't know who's the slowest De Silva or Pinnock.
crojam99: It's not great on the left -hand side, is it?
Luke Malin: It should help.
Daniel Tierney: It's definitely De Silva, mate. Pinnock's rapid, I told you.
Luke Malin: Bobby Thomas, man.
Daniel Tierney: Finnick's like a racehorse.
Luke Malin: Fucking... epic like he's blocks So far in the league he's second. nine blocks So he puts his body on the line.
Daniel Tierney: Fucking Stato.
Luke Malin: clearance with you. first He's first in the league with 52 clearances.
Daniel Tierney: Fucking hell.
Luke Malin: So. he's fucking he's doing well I think he's... Sorry. he'll be one of those players to go at the end of the season if we do go down.
Daniel Tierney: Don't say that. But yeah, I know what you mean. He'll prove his Premier League quality, I think, over the course of the season. We probably knew that last year, didn't we? He was... He was very good last year.
Luke Malin: He was good. He had some moments where it was like... i don't know a period where we were struggling a little bit i think it was after he got sent off and then come back
Daniel Tierney: Gosh, yeah.
Luke Malin: and he was getting found out positional -wise a bit. But I think if he can learn that, he can improve on that in games. I think sitting back helps him. It's his game. he doesn't need to be out of position then he's not getting caught on a counter
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: and he can just do what he's good at and that's just a bet
crojam99: Using his head.
Luke Malin: Yeah.
crojam99: Yeah. I think Lampard said that he's really locked in at the minute and I think you can tell that in his performances. Because there was times where he's got a bit of a smirk on his face in the championship. And yeah, rightfully so. but He would then make that odd. Often it was a pass back or a short pass back or he hadn't seen the player coming in. He gave a few goals away last season or a few chances like that. Whereas he seems really locked in, but Lampard's even commented on the fact that he is.
crojam99: Yeah.
Luke Malin: we'll see we'll see how it goes So spurs then what's the Before we finish, what's the predictions?
Daniel Tierney: I always think it'll be a draw. I think a bit, Joel. I've been watching them. And even though they ain't been getting results, they've been playing some good football they have.
Daniel Tierney: So they're quite similar to us, really, apart from we've won more games than them. i don't you know You can't go to their place and disrespect them. I think it'll probably be a draw.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: or more.
crojam99: I would take a 1 -1 all day.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah, and I would take a draw, by the way, 100%.
crojam99: Yeah.
Daniel Tierney: You know, I'm not kidding.
crojam99: Always.
Daniel Tierney: Just because they're... a bit crap in front of goal at the minute. I mean... People could have said that about us a couple of games ago and then we just put four in. So sometimes it just clicks. Yeah.
crojam99: Yeah.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: Oh. I'm on the phone.
crojam99: They should have put like five passes United.
Daniel Tierney: They should have batted.
crojam99: Like.
Daniel Tierney: They should have batted.
crojam99: Yeah.
Daniel Tierney: They were head and shoulders above them.
Luke Malin: Yeah.
crojam99: Amen.
Daniel Tierney: Some of the football they played was really, really good.
Daniel Tierney: They're quick. They've got pace all over the park. just missing that finisher. Stay on top.
crojam99: Madison's going to come back and haunt us, mate.
Luke Malin: Yeah.
crojam99: Madison gets a hat trick or something.
Luke Malin: I really hope... I think we're going to lose, to be honest.
Daniel Tierney: How did you get to say that?
Luke Malin: Only because... I just... i've watched spurs like everything but score they look decent
Daniel Tierney: Yeah, I agree.
Luke Malin: And I think they're gonna come up against us.
Daniel Tierney: Yeah.
Luke Malin: and they're gonna have lots of chances. and we're gonna struggle to get out. So I think if we play the game that we played against, like Man City, maybe we've got a chance of getting a draw, maybe even a win.
Luke Malin: I'm hoping for a draw though. I think one wants a doable task. But I just thought... I think they're underperforming Spurs. Honestly, I think they're ready to smash someone.
Luke Malin: I just what the players that have got like
Daniel Tierney: Yeah I hear ya.
Luke Malin: The players that we struggle to defend against. Savio on the wing. He's so good dribbling and going past ball backs. De Silva is going to be like... in a spin.
Daniel Tierney: Hey. He looked good against United, didn't he?
crojam99: Yeah.
Daniel Tierney: I don't know who playing left -back for in that game, but he was having their pants down, left, right and centre.
Luke Malin: And that's my worry. I just think their players just might be a bit too... good for us one to one and our only chance is we're just a better team we're solid and we can get something on there on the break maybe
Daniel Tierney: I just want to go above United just for at least a week this year.
Luke Malin: Bye -bye.
Daniel Tierney: Just so I can shirt some of them. boring cunts up. I don't mean
Luke Malin: It was...
Daniel Tierney: Just, you know, like
Luke Malin: James.
Daniel Tierney: You wave it. You wave it. Oh Jamie's back. You hear it, don't you?
Luke Malin: Oh.
Daniel Tierney: Won't name any names, but... It's just, you know, sometimes I look and I'm like, why is everyone hating?
Luke Malin: It's good as bad news.
Daniel Tierney: Why is everyone hating on Cov, you know?
Luke Malin: What?
Daniel Tierney: Wait.
Luke Malin: Who are?
Daniel Tierney: I've seen a few messages flying around. my whatsapps
Luke Malin: It's all the fucking...
Luke Malin: Yeah, glory to God.
Daniel Tierney: And I'm just like, well, you know. I do support. where I come from. Anyway.
Luke Malin: Right, nice one. Well, we'll leave it there for another day. So uh...
Daniel Tierney: Yeah, Mom.
Luke Malin: I'll speak to you soon. Are you watching the game Monday? You're going to try and find... It'll be on Sky, isn't it?
