The Bees 23/24

[Numbers]

Season 3 so it is, at home to Spurs first game of the season

Should be an interesting season for us, no Toney until Jan so time for a few others (Mbeumo, Schade, Wissa) to really make their mark, all 3 are certainly capable. Looking forward to seeing what Keane Lewis-Potter and Damsgaard can add.

Raya looking like he's gone but Mark Flekken signed and looks good, his distribution from the back rivals Raya.

Nathan Collins brought in, I hope he and Hickey gel as I love both of them.

Excited.

Do you know if there's going to be a Women's match at the stadium this season?

 

[Numbers]

Not sure, I know their league fixtures up until Nov are out Hatton Cross way as usual.

Intense first half yesterday if the highlights are anything to go by.

 

[Numbers]

7 games since Toney’s ban. Won 5 drew 2.

Mbeumo 7 goals
Wissa 6 goals

No doubt everyone wishes Ivan Toney well on his return from his ban, but one wonders who is advising him on the public relations aspects of his career:

That was a great game.

Good to see Toney score, but strange to see him wearing a shirt with Hollywood Bet on. (I know it's nothing new).

Perhaps not quite as strange as you might think - see here:

One hopes that those affected by this issue will get all the help that they require to deal with it:

In the meantime, it will be interesting to see how Ivan Toney shapes up in the race to be his country's Deputy Centre Forward at Euro 2024, as well as rescuing his side from a potential relegation battle.

Cracking finish to the match yesterday.
