Spanish Dave is getting better with every game

Strange isnt it, he's more dangerous attacking from right back than he was on the wing

WOW! what a scorching effort from Lopez!

 

[Marc1901]

Looks like Lopez is growing with confidence with every game he plays. Good stuff.

 

[worthingseagull123]

Playing ok.

Loads of empty seats

Just means he's better at outwitting wingers than he is fullbacks. Gives him a bit of time and space. I love the guy there at the minute.

This, he looks proper quality today

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Barnes and Spanish Dave link up well. I much prefer Hammond to Crofts, he's much more involved whenever he plays

less pressure on him to perform going forward, ironically helping him to get forward?!? Bit like Bale in reverse!?!

 

[Ali_rrr]

I think we can come to a conclusion and say Lopez is better right back than anywhere else...

Indeed. He loves the little turn inside on to his left, gets them every time.
His control is ridiculous.

Would be nice if he signed a new contract.

 

[pasty]

Looking good so far. Just need to turn this early pressure into goals - c'mon you bluuuuuuues

 

[Worthingite]

The Geordies are outsinging us by a fair mile, shame about their team!!

 

[Worthingite]

Was that Martin Jol in the Newcastle end?!?!?

 

[portlander]

Not much happening

 

[fisons]

PLeasing to see Ankergren hasnt got any better

 

[Meade's Ball]

Funny seeing Bridders at 5ft 6 marking 6ft 4 Ameobi for corners.

 

[maltaseagull]

Let's have the Pole in goal. That was a shocking punch by Ankergren why not have another go

 

[jimhigham]

Early momentum beginning to drain away and becoming more even.
