James is injured If he is injured then that is our season completely ruined - I am confident without him we can at least finish above Sheffield Wednesday and that is about it
-
Nelson Left Back?? No Striker - Ayew is so deep he is level with the midfield Playing the no possession, but no intention of counter football
-
10 years ago today, there was 101 league places in between us and Wrexham
-
Repeating others, but why have 3 full backs on the bench. I would prefer a youngster to take the spot, even if they get no minutes, training and first team match day squad experience would be beneficial

I'm not, but my Mum was before she married down lol -
Midweek is classed as Tuesdays - Thursdays in football statistics as Mondays and Fridays are usually part of the weekend fixtures (although occasionally you can play twice on a bank holiday weekend)
-
We have only 3 points from our last 10 midweek matches

Yeah as my Mum used to say... "It's simple you just kick the ball between the coat and satchel" What more do you need to have? -
Oh yeah it was a good goal, I’d already forgot about it
-
Ref gave the first and blew the whistle do VAR couldn’t intervene. VAR gave the pen after they told ref to go to monitor for the 2nd
-
Apparently Morocco finished with 10 men after Igamane went off injured and no one noticed
-
I can wait to see the ref give Morocco another injury time pen
-
Don’t worry, no one will notice
-
I’m still shocked that the ref just stood in the centre smiling. How did no one get booked for any of the following rules delaying the restart of play dissent by word or action entering, re-entering or deliberately leaving the field of play without the referee’s permission The manager should of been sent off before the players even left the pitch
-
And there was no football in that 20 minutes
-
It shows Evans and Hutchinson need to be out on loan this season, if not playing for our first team. Players improve when playing competitive football and Ballard is a perfect example of that
-
Exactly, I would push him further forward as a 2nd 8 more often and make him the focal point of the team.
-
We have the option to sign him for 5 mil at the end of the season We would be stupid (and we are run by Top and Rudkin so unfortunately this is a very good possibility) not to sign him... So I feel sorry for him, but he looks to be lumbered here next season too unless we sell him for a profit
-
The last time we signed a Diabete for 2m in January - we didn't win a single league game he started and he spent 2 years of his 3 year contract out on loan Although he did score twice against Peterborough

Thomas was poor Surprised Okoli is showing as our best defender, I though he didn't look good enough No one notices Page air header in the build up to their 2nd goal - although looks a decent prospect James best player again -
We need a protest and a boycott. Protest outside the stadium before kick off and then leave instead of entering the stadium. A crowd calling for change at the TOP and board whilst lacking a crowd supporting the dross we are witnessing Leaving early, most people have all season. The Boycott last time was good, but now we need the protest to vocalise the issues too

Jacob / Begovic Ricci Vestergaard Nelson Hamza / Okoli Skipp James Monga Reid Mavididi Daka Thomas & Okoli have to be dropped as they are liabilities - although tempted by Okoli at LB, wasn't awful at RB earlier in the season. Jacob was strong aerially earlier in the season, but he seems to be all over the place recently - Maybe time to bring in Begovic, but my concern is what would that do to Jacobs confidence and I think we need to continue building Ricci can't last 90 minutes twice a week, but he should be playing 60 minutes a game and with no left back option, Hamza has to play LB. At 60 minutes Aluko needs to come on and gain match time experience until he is ready to start weekly Page needs more game time and should be used as a 2nd half sub again - was thinking about him starting, but although Thomas is the worst fault for Coventry's 2nd goal, Page completely misjudged the ball when he should have been heading clear Daka over Ayew - doesn't really matter, both offer different things and that is both not a lot. Ayew had his chance against Coventry and now it's Dakas turn. Monga starting over Fatawu. Abdul simply has too many poor games and makes poor choices and needs to know he is not above being dropped - but he is a match winner and should always be on in the last 30 minutes, so he should be brought on against tired defences
-
Strange what happens when you play him. I never quite understood the reason he was never in the team except that Ruud preferred Daka - he played 26 minutes in 6 weeks and then just dropped
-
Another good half - showing the players do have the talent. Even the poor 2nd half I can't knock the effort shown - which is my biggest problem this season - except Thomas for the goal, just take a nap... The 2nd half was poor tactically and lacked the skill of the 1st half. Marti said that he told the players to expect Coventry to come and get them, the focus appears to be they would be going for an equaliser, surely the message should have been how to turn their defence around and exploit the gaps behind when we counter - instead of all out defence with a defence that includes Okoli and Thomas who both looked liabilities yesterday. Ayew was usually 30 yards away from our own goal, you can't counter like that. Skipp appeared to push his man too often and was giving away soft fouls 1st Half we reverted to the inverted RB and James as a 2nd 8 - Enzo style and we were much better - we did the same at Swansea earlier in the season which was also one of our best performance so I don't understand why we are not doing it more. We still were in the 2nd half, but the transition between the in possession formation and out of possession formation was too slow, either deliberately or because Ricci can't last 90 minutes. I really don't understand this play a full 90, then rest him approach - Surely 60 minutes a match would be a better option. I've got to blame Marti for the tactics in the 2nd half and being too slow to change things. He asked us to hold on, when after that 1st half we should have been focusing on scoring a 2nd
