Weve got some cracking young players here now, but I will say this if Moyes was to remove Armstrong from the sheet there’d be uproar.

This is a kid with an old head on young shoulders and the top( yawn) clubs will come sniffing no doubt about it.

Great win rode our luck but so do they all, but we have to get a right back in and a striker.

I read the tea leaves incorrectly. Not my fault. I’d had a fair little river of of dry white to be fair. The leaves said man utd FFS not us. Now that was possibly remiss on my part, but I am free of all blame and criticism. At worst, it was an understandable lack of attention.

Hull will get two more points this season. Two. Now that’s pathetic.

Not changing the subject by any means, but how good was Enciso for Ipswich today?

Who is Jazza Sean (113)?

Paul mate, the key thing for me is that the senior pros like Norgaard and Garner should earn their recall to the team before they are selected.

Armonstrong, Hackney, George and Rohl deserved to start after their pre-season form. Nothing will demotivate them more than getting dropped when they are playing well.

Pickford is the best keeper in the Premier League imo.

We do need a right-back and a striker as top priorities, but I also think we should to be considering another CB and LB. Tarkowski is slowing down and has an unforced error in him every game, while Myko has a positive attitude but isn’t good enough defensively or going forward.

Think Patterson and Alcaraz will be sold before the close of the window.

Obviously all of these number ratings are subjective, but what matters is less the numbers, but rather a more comprehensive analysis if you’re going to write an article about it. That’s what’s lacking here.

Did the player do something exceptional, like score a banger, as my kid calls it, or make an incredible assist or a worldie save to keep the score tied? If yes, then it deserves at least a 8, but likely higher I’d say, unless you’re also at fault for something big. Did you make a huge mistake that led to a goal or a near-goal? If yes, then note that in the scoring. And if you just generally bossed the match or wreaked havoc or didn’t put a foot wrong, but nothing game-changing, then you get near the top, but not all the way there — and all this must take into account certain players’ limitations that they’ll always have, or the fact that they might be playing out of position.

So overall Harry’s score were okay, but Pickford is a 9 for that save alone, despite a few errant kicks. Tarkowski doesn’t deserve a 7 after that terrible header in the opening stages. Mykolenko has to be higher, as he isn’t capable of doing much more for us; he even managed to not cross the ball in all match, which whether intentional or not deserves an extra point because it never works out. Harrison Armstrong was better than I could’ve imagined, but let’s save the 9’s for when he takes it to the next level. The rest of the scores were about right.
