davieG Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 It's not as if we were playing well and winning with Drinky in the team. As for the elbow I don't think it was intended as such he was just trying to get the player off his shirt as he ran forward the only way you can practically do that whilst continuing forward is to reach behind unfortunately he caught the guy who then made a meal of it. Somewhat ironic as the Watford player was one of dirtiest on the pitch.

In effect if something happens then that's what is judged the question did they mean to do it is no longer a factor.
harpendenfox Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 Just to be clear none of the Academy boys can step in as they are not in our 25 man squad. James and the little cabbage are in said squad
filbertway Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 To those of you that have mentioned we're not playing well with Drinky in the team, is that just a little blind optimism or is there anything you've seen to make you think we're going to look better when replacing him with King/Amartey? Genuine question, as to me I can't see anything but our performances deteriorating.

I wasn't suggesting otherwise it was in response to those calling him an idiot etc.

Buzzell Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 Hernandez, Okazaki and King as a midfield three. I'm being sarcastic BTW.

As the initiative behind it was to give more young players a chance etc?
Lambert09 Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 Perfect time to try out 4-2-3-1 Gives the creative players some more freedom, we'll be fine.

Good to know.
Sublime_Coatsworth Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 I'm not surprised the FA are going for him. I'm sure they'll throw the book at him yet conveniently glossed-over the carnage at the Spuds/Chelsea game last season

Seen him 4 or 5 times this year alone and he's by far the stand out player in that u23 team. In a midfield 3 he could be interesting given a bit more freedom to get forward

tyfox Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 I didn't even see the incident but I truly hope we change formation for the next 3 games at least
Wymsey Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 Big chance for Amartey to show what he's capable of now.

I thought king was decent last night and amartey will provide legs ..... we will need pace, skill and attaching in the front 4!!
