The E&S seem unsure of what to make of it all. They report the impressive shape, system and the tightness of the back four but note the lack of a genuine goalscorer. This is also known as sitting on the fence and waiting to see where we are ten games down the line. However given the league start and the mess we made of the Scotland fixtures I think everyone is confused at present.

Wednesday’s visit to QPR is off due to home players having international commitments in the Northern Ireland game that has been cancelled out of respect following the Omagh bomb.  Efforts were apparently made to put the game back on but the police objected or something.

An objecting police force or an objectionable police force? Given it’s the Met, I guess it’s safe to conclude that it’s both?
