Yeah, Reguilon.

He was a bit terrible, thirty minutes against Bayern Munich aside.

he was our best left back not called shaw.

Malacia is coming back soon.....

It's great to see us winning again but let's not get carried away. We're winning games that clearly should be routine, even in these post-Fergie times.

There's been far too many warning signs this session and beating Newport, Wolves and West Ham doesn't mask those.

The one thing he is getting right is his trust in youth. That picture of Mainoo, Garnacho and Hoijland is already iconic. Hopefully the three continue their form and we never have to see Antony, The Scottish Player and Martial start again.

Don’t get carried away, says bloke who whips himself up into a frenzy and says Ten Hag is going to be sacked after every bad result.

There's been a lot more bad results than good. I didn't start saying it after 2 or 3 bad games.

Not sure anyone is getting carried away tbh. Everyone seems fully aware of our shortcomings.

Just a bit of cautious optimism and highlighting some positives.. And we haven’t had a great season, so got to enjoy these kinds of wins when we can

We won't .....

Get that contract extension ready big Jim, anyone can see with his settled first team we can beat anyone, no adapting to his injuries ..

Game winner sub today....

4 more years !

One game at a time, but this must already be our best run this season.

How is the survey coming along? Big numbers I hope.

Strange, considering he has no style of play apparently.

Whilst this is great to hear you’d like to think they were doing this with the previous managers? Isn’t it common the u21/u18s sort of match the first team for this very reason?

Once Ratcliffe gets his hands into things next summer with ETH things are going to be interesting. May not be complete title challengers next season but having a club whose primary objective is to win will be refreshing.

It’s interesting that he couldn't implement his plan with the first team when he had a couple of players missing but can implement it with the under 18’s no problem.

Is it yeah?

Or is it completely understandable that kids are going to pick up a new system relatively easy, and it’s going to be harder to implement it when you’re missing a lot of the players you brought specifically for the system you want to play, and are forced to cobble together an 11 from what you inherited from previous managers?

Yep ethers calling it right
