The Real Thing

October 15, 2026

Before the LASK game I said I don’t know where the goals are going to come from. Well, they came from everywhere and Bradley BarCOLA finally showed he could be the real thing with a hattrick. Even so, the happiest man on the pitch might have been Lewis Koumas who also had the ball in the net three times but unfortunately only one counted. Big Ron and Jeremy Frimpong got their names on the scoresheet, so I got the answer to my question. To score six away in Europe gives a good feeling. Conceding three takes a little bit off the gloss but I put that down to the changes even if the changes saw VvD and Joe Gomez coming on to stretch their legs. No complaints though, two played, two won and two more could make the first qualification spot a certainty.
