Professional not profession I know haha.. Helik coming into team, slotted straight in with a solid game. Collins same, not put a foot wrong.. Schmidt starts and scores, plenty of energy.. Ritzy far improved performance.. That tempo is gonna be hard to keep up all season but if they can, I'll be impressed. Welll done to each one of em.. You reds!!
I know it's "only the league cup" but that's 3 games vs championship sides and 2 wins to nil. Good effort lads. Let's get that first league win on Saturday now.
Gerhard does not make the right decisions every time but I hope he makes those decisions for some time to come total respect for what he is doing.
Apart from the first ten minutes and the closing stages we were well on top. Great game to watch and a rare away win at Middlesbrough for us. Looks like Warnock doesn't do midweek games (home in Devon?) leaving that odious piece of **** Blackwell to do his scowling for him. What a pathetic performance at the end from him. I hope Gerhard gave him both barrels in Austrian and then laughed in his face
Enjoyed that performance. Impressed with helik and Anderson at the back. Thought styles had a good game when he came on also.
I think Frieser and Helik have fixed their positions in the team after this game. Schmidt, Thomas are pushing leaving Chaplin Woodrow Simeos not guaranteed. I'm not sure if Palmer,, Ritzmaire Wolfe, Davies are ready if Mowatt needs a break so thats a concern. Collins is a capable replacement for Walton if needed and Halme can comfortably drop in to the back 3. Ludwig, J Williams, Anderson, Styles definite starters now. Two more players CF CM are needed but it will slow the development and opportunities for some good young players we have.
