Paninistickers

I get you, but absurd as it sounds, you don't always need to start with your very best xi, as counterintuitive as that sounds.. They were terrified of him.the moment he came on..

Anyone got a video clips of his two fluffs today? The first 'shot' inadvertently ending up with Abdul and the second inadvertently teeing up Facundo

I think again the players got us through today. Which sounds mind numbingly obvious. But late on the players squeezed and controlled and probed - largely via Faes and Winks. It was on field intelligence that won us today

I'd like rob tanner or Owen Palmer to ask Cooper in a presser politely, tactfully and understandably without being rude or offensive about BdcR, what McAteer needs to offer to get ahead of him.

Agree. It did. My point was it was kinda lucky. He had to roll the dice. I get that. But he rolled a six. It was luck. Agree again but not me. I've liked the three of them fron the get go - tho accept many don't share that view

It was an extraordinary cameo. Chaos theory I suppose. But seriously, there needs to be a steward's enquiry as to what's going on. He's Ward level. He doesn't look a pro footballer. I'm sure he used to be. Bit he ain't now.

The Skipp / Winks switch was usual clown Cooper behaviour. The winks, Skipp, Wilf triumvirate has been one of our strongest points. The obvious HT switch was Bilal off and winks on and push Wilf up. As for the BdcR introduction. Words fail. And, as buzzing as I am, the decision to abandon full backs very very nearly cost us a gimme win. Saints had two big chances in Injury time and we were all over the place for 10 mins after we went 2-1. He's a lucky fella

Yup, I'm same..love him to bits but PL Football' is a squad game and I'd be inclined to leave him on bench and be our game changer for now.

Goodness gracious me. I mean, I'm buzzing tonight, but let's not kid ourselves. The poor lad is tragic. He's gone. It's painful to see.

Because good use of squad/subs is integral to modern day football

Wolves away, 2003

So what does that make BdcR?

Iversen Ricky Vesty Winks Abdul Ayew McAteer A N Other (I suppose Eduard)

They'll all be on at 88 mins and we'll spuffa three goal lead

Yup. Along with Soumare and BdcR over McAteer and Ward over Iversen. Shocking. Truly shocking

Team ok. That fcking bench tho.

Look at the bench

Not with that bench. It's a disgrace

The thing is with Cooper is his subs. The Bournemouth game being the most stark example. we needed to get control of the game in the middle, bring on winks. JJ is overloaded, get Ricky on. Pace on the break, get Abdul on. If we need to chase the game today, get Vesty and Winks on to start picking the passes. Cooper has - for my money - so far shown he doesn't know how to react in games as his weakest point

Well, it's a slight improvement in that Ayew has gone I suppose

Just waiting for that sinking heart feeling of seeing Ayew ahead of Fatawu. Our three best players last season on the bench (possibly one not even on that) The worst keeper in the world a pulled muscle away from playing at the highest level And BDCR limbering up for the obligatory 10 mins trot around watching the game

Quite believable. All the money spent on supplying weapons, I'm pretty sure you could find 10k + trained soldiers worldwide from the west, Africa, Asia, South America who'd fancy working as 'security' for a nice fat wedge and picking off russian attacks. Or is that warfare now old school? And it's all about drones now on the front line?

It's a cult down there. Not a club or even a business. More in common with Scientology.

We bummed them twice last season. That worries me.

5-4 defeat at Newcastle away in about 89 (coincidentally also the minute newcastle scored about half their goals) and then, bizarrely, a 5-4 win at home following season.
