It was on his weaker foot tbf. Dion Charles is a quality striker at this level, 20 goals in all comps last season. I'd much rather have Charles leading the line than Ward. They've also got Collins, Adeboyejo and just signed Mcatee. Quality options up front. I'd prefer ward and Jordan Rhodes wouldn't have missed that chance Ward missed a good chance yesterday, at least Charles hit the target. Not sure what Rhodes has to do with it, he hasn't played for us for over a season now?

I'm just looking at the type of forward we have been used to at Town and trying to make a comparison Charles will never be championship quality on today's showing.

We're in league 1, not the championship. Charles bagged his 50th goal for Bolton last week, better than a 1 in 2 strike rate for them, gets plenty of assists aswell. Ward is a terrible striker at any level and creates nothing for his team mates.

If Reynolds (big fan btw) were to pull out, they'd soon disappear. Not having a dig but that is a reply that doesn’t even need making , I would put them on par with Shrewsbury or maybe Chester. Nothing of a club just living on Hollywood actors. Will all end in tears when they eventually fuck off. They've a reasonable tradition and history tbh, bigger club than both you mention. You're right about it all ending in tears when the owners get bored but that's the same for most clubs these days, us very much included. I'm always curious to know what the end game is for these owners.

The money invested in Wrexham will be negligible to what they’ll earn from the Netflix series and also how it’s a different route to paths similar ‘stars’ have taken. Once they’re bored (or in the case of the lesser known co-owner to Reynolds, bankrupt), they’ll hand back control to the Supporters Trust or sellout to another consortium who will struggle to maintain things. Reynolds schtick won’t last forever and as such he will cut his losses.

Only 4 teams in league 1 have a 100% record after 2 games.

No they have no history what so ever they have won fuck all bar the Welsh cup and maybe a tinpot efl trophy or whatever they call the lower league cup. So on that huge magnificent history they have pipped Chester and Shrewsbury who unfortunately have not managed a Johnstone paint trophy win 😂 so your right need to pick a team who have just won that anybody ? Peterborough?

Only just realised the home teams in 1st round of German DFB Cup are all the lower ranked teams. What a great idea and great way to see some of the bigger clubs play at the smaller club’s home ground. 1 Phoenix Lubeck moved it from there own 3000 capacity ground to Hamburg's Volkspark Stadium. Got 50,000 in there against Borussia Dortmund. They got beat, but the pay day was probably worth it😉

For the life of me I do not know why Chelsea persist with Nicholas Jackson. Very poor and so frustrating with his inability to stay onside

A new striker and c.b. wouldn't harm our march back to the promised land though. UTT!

Real Mallorca v Real Madrid.....Kick off in 5 mins, live on itv4. Excellent game, 1st half was all Madrid & 2nd was all Mallorca who could have won it with a couple of late chances but ended 1-1.......Jude didn't look happy at being subbed by Carlos & Mendy sent off at the death.

For the life of me I do not know why Chelsea persist with Nicholas Jackson. Very poor and so frustrating with his inability to stay onside His inability to sort his feet out and get a decent attempt off and his ability to get in the way of a colleague in a better position were definitely on show today..🤨

Shocking tackle in the Woking v Gateshead match At first I thought it was a cop car on the pitch... sure, it was a bad tackle but not sure an arrest is warranted! Joking aside, hope the injured lad has as speedy a recovery as can be.

Had Leicester forgotten that they were promoted from the Championship and not relegated from it when they decided to sign Bobby Reid?

Who knows but their fans will be wishing they were still in the Championship dominating games after the absolute pasting they've taken this half. Very lucky it is only 1-0

The game would be so much better to watch if refs started dishing out yellow cards for intentional fouls.
The top clubs are great at niggling fouls when teams are breaking, but because of the area of the pitch they often go unpunished.
That Spurs lad just held the Leicester player long enough to stop his momentum but wasn’t booked.
If they tightened up on blatant cheating it would be a great game to watch, but I doubt we’d see the domination by the elite clubs, so it’ll never change…

Maddison playing like he’s got something to prove after being left out of the England Euro’s squad.

An 8 and a half minute stoppage around the injury and subs immediately following it, and only 9 are added on in total? How hard is it to use a stopwatch?
