Two clean sheets 

Lets be honest about that HB had a couple of half chances over the two games that Paulsen had to deal with but our defence was never really in any trouble.

It was two clean sheets but in the context of the team we were playing were hopeless. Two clean sheets in the first two league games will be more praiseworthy.

I Think the one in the second half possibly had a bit to do with the pitch and an uncertain bounce of the ball.

That's what I thought too. Paulsen was probably expecting a cleaner shot, but it was whipped in - although gently - with a lot of spin and it probably kicked up off the plastic at a weird angle.

Thankfully he, and we, won't have as many plastic games this season.

If we sell Longelo on top of those that have already gone and the liklihood JT is out the door, then Kyrk is gonna have some questions to answer re his comments on " squad management".

It would be like a fire sale, just with loads more money involved!

Agreed. I defended his ‘building incrementally’ statement a few weeks ago a statement that looks to have been naive.

This takes time, comfortable in those at the helm to trust the process.

The proof will be in the pudding as they say.

If we are sitting in 5 years time still in the top flight with a brand new POD built still challenging for top 6 and European football then all will be well in the world.

Id like a cup win as well, but happy to wait a little longer for that if we are transforming the club in the process.

Only if "they" are Americans who don't know the actual saying is "the proof of the pudding is in the eating"

(Sorry, that one drives me nuts every time I hear it over here).

Apologies!

I figured everyone would know that puddings were intended to be eaten.

Having been to America recently, they dont appear to be strangers to the concept!

The one that drives me mad is “out of Pocket”, they use it when they won’t be available or gone for a few days, not when it’s costing them money.

It would work if they lived in a town called Pocket?

Not to derail the thread, but the most confusing one for me at work was when they talk about "tabling" something.

Instead of meaning "to put something in front of someone for discussion" it means the exact opposite - to put something away and maybe talk about it later.

I feel the need for some pudding now,

Isnt that "shelving"?
