"He has a rigid style of play and sticks to it even when it is not working. He encourages slow, ponderous play everywhere on the pitch. He encourages possession to the exclusion of everything else, resulting in sideways and backwards passing instead of moving forward at pace. He insists on...

Another special mention for Wilf. He's been great the last two games and his headed goal was one of the best you'll ever see.

They/Them probably has these days.

And a special mention for Wilf. I've been very critical of him recently but today his effort couldn’t be faulted.
