Very thin crowd in at four minutes to kick off. Mind you, I’m part of that problem watching at home. I could have gone. I nearly did but then I thought shall I buy the train ticket and match ticket, spending over £30? Or shall I pay £10 to stay warm and watch at home? Option two for me…
Two throws and one free kick took them a combined 4 minutes. They've started early and I fully expect a yellow card come 88 mins.
The good thing is they should get better as they get used to not having Russell there. It looks like there is a missing piece at the moment.
