From what I have seen from Big Ed so far, it is a case of Jason Who? I'm loving him.

As for Ronnie, he is a 21 year old project player. Let's see what we get out of him, there is definitely some quality there to work with.

My only concern is the nature of the relationship with Portimonense. His contract with them is up at the end of the season. My assumption when we signed him was that we had a few months to look at him and he was then ours on a free if we wanted him.

But this new tie-up with Portimonense suggest that we are just giving him some coaching and experience and if he starts to look the goods they will take him back and we get nothing

Could be first option agreement too. We look at and sign players they've had with the understanding they get first chance to sign them back.

Becoming? He’s always been excellent with a dead ball. Clutch free kick for 25 yards in the 90th minute of the 2020 NPL2 grand final immediately springs to mind.

"Becoming" maybe appropriate in the sense that his dead ball skills have been criminally under utilised at AL level and I am not sure why under Monty given he knew what he was capable of.
I struggle to remember what I have for breakfast these days so may be mistaken but I can't recall him taking a free kick or corner before at senior level.

I'm calling it now that by seasons end he will have broken his ALM duck from a free kick and Ed, Brian and Faz will have all scored with headers from his pinpoint corners

Fair. He’s always had a few ahead of him in the pecking order at senior level, but he’s had the rare opportunity here and there.
Same - I actually said on the pod last week that he will score a free kick before the season’s out, so either we’ve put the mocker on him or he’s about to start banging them in ?

Pretty composed and controlled game. Was always worried we were leaving ourselves open to the one magic touch and conceding but we finally got the second thanks to Ed. Nice pass Stormy and i like Ed hitting it first time.

I talked Di Pizzo up about his touch against SFC but he was bad last night but it seemed a few were having issues with hitting the ball to hard or it running away but Di Pizzo has played better.

Ed runs were great but best was him throwing his body around. If the ref let’s you do it.

I think Niz and Torres need a spell but hopefully the few days off will help them and everyone else.

Smallish crowd but thought the atmosphere was good considering.

Bring on the Meth heads. Should be a really good game

The grass seemed to be a lot shorter. I suspect the team were not use to the pace of the surface
