MrBlack Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 It begins... Leyton Orient confirm 'number of players' have coronavirus Only a matter of time before this happens to a PL club and a series of games gets postponed as a result. No way this season is ending the date it should without teams being forced to play three games in one week at some stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with the comment that it will no doubt happen to a PL team The postponement is up for debate though... Ligue A has made teams play even if they have cases Surely they learned from last season and put some rules in writing but I wouldnt be surprised if they're not as clear cut as the media will make out, Liverpool lose VVD the week they play man City for example, the media will have a field day with misinformation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted September 21, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) Currently in 9th place. Aim is to make sure we don't drop any lower than that for the rest of the season. Edited September 21, 2020 by sidcow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_1989 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Fulham could be a good follow up game for us. I think we will be very good on the counter attack. They will be looking to get some points on the board we gotta use the pace we’ve added to get in behind them. Traore to hopefully start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark_1989 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Don’t think it’s been released the date...we’ve got a bit of luck having that pushed back. Hopefully these two games ease us into the season not suffer early on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Fulham is up next. Should be 3 points that. Last time we won our first opening games was back in the 15/16 season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that. A great opportunity to win the opening 2 games. Momentum is so important and confidence. Winning first 2 on the bounce instead of getting spanked by Citeh in the opening game could stand us in good stead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

est1874 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Nice goal Jesus 3-1. Is anyone else amazed that Ruben Neves and Jimenez are still Wolves players? Not entirely sure why they're not playing for CL clubs yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_1989 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 The more I reflect I think today’s scoreline and performance was the perfect start for the season. Ultimately we got 3 points which was the aim. However we weren’t great against ten men which is ok for two main reasons 1- we are not going to get complacent whereby had we won 3-0 we might think we are better than we are and mask some big flaws, 2 - it is still very obvious that we need more attacking intent and therefore it’s imperative we bring in more additions before the window closes. Our keeper made a vital contribution which is massive, gives him confidence and also breeds confidence with our defence/keeper, he made some great claims when the ball was whipped into our box and I’m sure we will all agree he looked assured when called on. The defence although rarely tested have gotten a clean sheet. We only managed 7 all last season so to get one early is very welcome. We were by no means great but we have a new winger eligible for the next game and hopefully some more signings and this should hopefully relegate trez to the bench who is woeful. Another CM needed and a decent start from Watkins. Hopefully an easier season ahead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
