I was waiting for this before making my travel arrangements for these 2 games.

So Friday night it is. Two possible outcomes are:

 

1. We lose, get relegated, Millwall go up and we get taunted by 3000 cockneys

2. We win, stay up, Millwall miss out on automatic promotion and 3000 cockneys are trying to kick our heads in

 

I´ve got to get to the railway station afterwards. I can´t run very fast now, but I´d still take the second option 

 

Hello David

Which psr year will this be included in?

Later today we need all of these wimps to put in a shift and use their undeniable skills to fight and win this game. Led by our soon to be legend Jascelles. 🙏

I'm pretty sure it will be something like this:

                          Jakub

Ricardo    Lascelles   Nelson   Thomas

                   Skipp    Winks

   Fatawu        James       Mavididi

                         Daka

 

 

 

I think that is pretty much the best team we can put out having been through all the options. 

V QPR I  thought we played quite well for the first 25 minutes. Took the lead with a very good goal. Then looked completely shattered.  QPR then dominated and although they didn't really create chances just kept pressing knowing, like every other  team, Leicester would capitulate and gift goals. I said earlier Lascelles is the only answer to defending and that is a wild thought. 

How about Skipp at right back?

We’re in the mess we’re in because of the defence and we can only get out of it if Rowett somehow sorts out the defence. Last week he said that he would like to bring Lascelles in but didn’t feel he could break up the formidable Nelson-Okoli partnership. Well, nobody will complain if you break it up now, Gary. The interesting question is what he’ll do if both Lascelles and Vestergaard are available to play.

I think Lascelles and Nelson would be my choice for Watford. 

We have no leadership in this team. Last throw of the dice. He starts on Saturday. Organises the defence and inspires the rest to victory.

What was all the arguments after the equaliser. We had some one booked in the dugout but I couldn’t see who it was?

The goal was offside!

Was there a Mighty String too?

One thing this  club lacks is physicality throughout the entire age group.  We seem to have skilful and talented players at every level  but no ball winners.

Yet, significantly better than Ricardo?

 

We dont have great options. Its either the OAP, the kid or Hamza. Choose your poison. But at least when Hamza is on it (and he has lots of days when hes all over the place) he has some physicality. I hate saying it, but he starts over Riccy and you rotate with Aluko. Riccy offers nothing right now.

I agree. Riccy is past it and makes far to many mistakes. Aluko cannot be good enough or he would have been given greater opportunities. Hamza tackles hard but his awareness is non existent. Tricky decision.

Hamza has in 285 games 3 red cards and 50 odd yellows. Not the reckless player we all think but he's still a poor player.

Our fans really need to stop the whining.

 

Yes it's shit at the moment. As fans, let's do our bit - roll up your sleeves and stop being whiney little bitches.

I agree about rolling up our sleeves, just not pink ones.

Hahahahah! 2 days ago you got laughed at for saying they should be out of the team. 

Me?  I'm desperate to find a team to win a game. We can. James will  inspire us. 

Winks and Skipp out. James and Page in.

I have this feeling that Rowett will instill  some defensive improvements that will allow our 2 goal  threat  to prevail.

Looking at the fixtures of our relegation rivals. I think we are down , we may improve our form for the remainder of the past 13 games but we don’t have it in us to stay up. The players know it was a missed opportunity yesterday, other results are not going in our favor. Portsmouth are 6 points clear of us, Blackburn are 5 points clear of us. We need to win back to back games at a bare minimum to pull some other teams closer to us. WBA are the only team we can potentially catch up with, being one point above us, but their next two games are winnable: Charlton (h) and Oxford (a).

 

 

Happy  fox 🤣🤣🤣

If we had a strong cf and a strong cm this would combat the opposition's aerial threat. Instead we have Daka and Winks. We are a weak team and need a stronger physical presence.

WHY!?!?!

 

This is just an insane opinion - I have no idea of the logic.

 

Skipp’s right footed by the way too!

Most  wingers these days cut inside mostly like Fatawu. So a right footed left back could work?

4-1-1 Maybe? 

Every combination of players has been used this season without success. Just hope we don't play the inverted fullback system. Keep it simple and don't make stupid mistakes 🤞

The worst case scenario is for the club to cease to exist. Not happening.

 

There is invariably a 'white knight' who comes in to relieve clubs of owners who've given up. Sometimes takes a little while, but nearly always one shows up.

Hope you're right

Worst case scenario. 

9 point deduction 

Relegation to league  one 

Administration 

20 point deduction 

Start next season -20

Relegation to league two

It is possible 😢
