Big Mak looks like a proper centre forward

Yeah but sometimes its obvious someone will make a big impact on the division. Hes in that category for me. Hes won every duel, held it up nicely, shown pace and dominance, found a player with every pass.

Could be wrong, but looks a real good un.

[waynerovers]

Gueye has been great, nice to have someone upfront who knows how to link up play

[DeeCee]

Who is the fat bloke with the specs sat behind the subs?

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Gueye been everything Gally isn't so far. 

Midfielders doing well but we are piss poor out wide.

Szmodics without pre season isn't it?

Agreed, I think Hedges isn't a winger we should be starting, I'm hoping a new LW with pace and Hedges can come on in games when we need something different.

Jesus wept, these commentators really are biased, according to them we may as well just be relegated now.

Sky commentators embroiled in "they've actually done some research" controversy. 

[KentExile]

Even if Gueye doesn't score all season, he still looks worth his weight in gold.  Great hold up play and a threat that the opposing defence has to be aware of at all times

And he cost about a quarter of a Gally!

We've seen Travis start the season well before, haven't we? 😏

Aye he has history for this then goes well off the boil

And he’ll be nowhere near match fit so a very promising debut. 

[ItsRoverZ]

We've proper reverted last 15 minutes 

[waynerovers]

Gueye gonna be getting MOTM on his debut if he carries on like this.

It’s almost like the squad has been so thin he hasn’t been able to get a proper rest after summer

Wonder how much has that been having to play every match due to no depth for rotation 

[BankEnd Rover]

Big Mak won’t score many but my god he’s an upgrade on Gally! 

[WacoRover]

1-0, HT. 
I’m satisfied with the effort, & run of play. It could be 2-0, had Gueye connected early, if’s & but’s 

[Tugay-is-God]

Not a bad half there, eh?

It’s a clear  tactic to switch play as often as possible which has meant Hedges seeing a lot of the ball. 
 

if we signed a quick LW you’d imagine they would have a lot of joy. 

[Rover8T4]

First 25 minutes moved the ball quicker and gaining yards through the midfield. Gueye showing his qualities, off the ball runs giving us many options going forward. Hopefully we can hold on to this lead

He can look forward to receiving his Peter Jack...oh.

Anyway, Pears hasn't dropped his clanger yet, Hyam has been really good, Trav good and Gueye impressive.

Dolan took his goal well and Hedges looks fine down the left.
I'd suggest we need to replace JRC down the right, either with Ohashi or Markanday and we should kick on the in 2nd half.

Pleasantly surprised with the patches of quick tempo passing and movement, enjoyed most of that first half.

Hes getting on so probably not quick but wonder if Weiman will come on for his delivery? Is he a bit of a crosser? 

[RevidgeBlue]

Hedges is beyond abysmal. If we had a half decent player on the left we'd be looking a pretty decent outfit.

Gueye looks very promising, good half from Travis as well. Nice finish from Dolan.
