How many times have we seen that type of ball that Ampadu played this season? I’ll guess at very few because we don’t have any other striker that can do that with his back to goal.

A fit Bamford is a huge asset and no way should he be allowed to leave this window.

Are you implying that Ampadu's ball to Bamford was speculative Jonty?

The team tried on a number of a occasions the long ball over the top, it's clearly a tactic, I think, they've been working on, to beat the packed midfield and defence.

It was quite apparent yesterday. Mostly it didn't come off as they kept hitting the last man.
Ampadu got it spot on.

No, I don’t imply anything, I think if you read it again you’ll find I said it was speculative.

A thoroughly competent and professional display. Over the moon for PN and Ampadu for his brace.

Plymouth at home. What a chance to make the last 16 and a home draw against anyone outside the Prem's top 6 gives us reason to dream of going further.

MOT.

Good draw for us, at last.

Agree on the feel good factor after this win and that goal - great for Patrick Bamford. I supported him for a long time until last season when nothing was going right for him or anybody and I guess you're right, he became a sort of lightning rod. I'm very pleased for him - two in two and one of them a goal to remember, plus he set up Ampadu's first beautifully. If he's ticking, we have some great possible permutations.

It's all looking good - in Farke I trust!

You mean this sentence "We're having all sports of chances and assister and scorers reversed when speculative ball forwards taken out of the air and the no look shot on the turn that follows stuns the ground and all of social media".

I kind of assumed that's what you meant, another battle with your I-Phone perhaps, invest in an android Jonty, so much easier.

Anyway, I kind of disagree. I think they played for it and I think there were signs earlier in the game. Watch it back, Rodon and the midfield were trying balls to Bamford over the top, they didn't have the range of passing Ampadu had on that occasion.
Whether that came from the training ground I don't know.

I'm a bit slow Jonty, you were being ironic, obviously Darren Ferguson has said it was speculative, so stupid some times, der.
