Look forward to being ran through then. Though that'll probably happen regardless.

[On Winks] If we put aside the optics of playing somebody who doesn't want to be here, and isn't happy at the club and just look at it from footballing terms. For me, Winks is best when operating alongside 2 box to box types. He's a 6 but he isn't imposing or physical enough to take the burden of the defensive work. Under Enzo he had KDH and Wilf, 2 players covering lots of ground, participating in both defending and attacking giving him passing options when in possession and cover when out of it. With JJ out, you're only really looking at Page and Skipp maybe being able to do a lite version of it. With a system utilising a 10, who traditionally would do a lot less defensive work, press aside, you're relying on whoever partners Winks to put in one hell of a defensive shift. Aribo, Skipp, Hamza if he's back, are all a bit immobile to cater for Winks on the defensive side of things. Not to mention Aribo isn't able to play.

It's perversely kind of becoming less and less important to bring in a manager when we have experienced players giving the opposition goals and getting red cards. We're a career killer at the moment.

The worst of it is that they pulled it back to 2-2 which vindicates the manager, but it doesn't bode well for Alves. Doesn't start and can't get minutes when they're chasing a game.

How long does Dyche have to keep failing before he's in the same bracket as Pardew and Curbishley? Tried his best to take Everton down, and is now doing the same with Forest. A decent spell at Burnley seems to have solidified him as some sort of sure thing, despite that ultimately going to shit in the end too.

No booking for Doyle with a challenge from behind while we break. Ok.

He's put on the goals bare guy as well as the bare goals guy.

Brum commentators saying the former Villa man getting the expected reception. It was our fans booing...

KDH with an equaliser for Everton v Fulham.

There we go. On Reid and Riccy this.

Lascelles has been infected!

Winks for Mav. Presumably Fatawu comes inside in a more free role?

A good example of how "Experience" can mean fxxk all. Goal coming from Ricardo fxxking up a simple pass and getting caught, and Reid making a challenge in a nothing situation. If the kids do that they get called out for not having the experience, so presumably the excuse for the seasoned pros is that they're just shit?

Who?

Silver linings.

I love that you edited this for spelling and still got Begovic wrong.

Love that lino...

Our Luke has found his position. In goal.

It's less cluttered than if it's done per mistake....

Fxxk yeah! Get tae fook anyone who questions the lad.

Luke trying to grab the Brum defender with arms at full stretch... Grim.

On the bench.

Cos unfortunately his position is that of the captain and vice captain so they're getting the nod. Presumably for their experience or some other shit.

Well if he can find our players doing that he's already doing better than Riccy.

Don't think you can lay blame with King when his captain does something that shit.
