Is Bwananateh injured or banned?

I hope that’s spellcheck and not spelling. Not that mines any better. Took me weeks to get it.

Isn't that unchanged?

Yes, except for the changes.

[jamfox]

Strong bench to attack with , need to fight hard first half , lots of aggression and intensity straight from the whistle

Why?

On form yes 

[Samilktray]

Is Buenonontey injured?

Mavididi’s been off form since 2023

[FrankieADZ]

Surpsied it's Ayew over Mav

I don’t mind that lineup for this match. I wouldn’t overlook okoli if he is not fit as we lack pace at the back but coady and vesty did ok last game. 

Some decent options off the bench today for later in the game. I think Ayew is better off the bench too but he holds the ball well and helps us with our shape. His Experience helps in this regard. 

[ARTY_FOX]

Let's hope ayew can't be more than pointless from the start of a game today... 

[SafewayFox]

Sticking with the theme….shame that buenonaughty is missing!

 

All joking aside, rather than it being a PL rule as seen on here, isn’t it the loan agreement?

 

Swear that I have seen a player on loan play against his parent club before.

[MarriedaLeicesterGirl]

Ayew might be slow, but he is sharp. Again, i will reserve judgement under a new manager.

[tcrofts]

Mods can you pin this message for the folk that are out of touch.

 

Buonanotte is ineligible because he's on loan from Brighton

My main worry with Ayew is that he kills counter attacks stone dead. Always looking to turn back and keep possession but all our joy against WH came from quick transitions. 

Too be fair most of the team were doing that under Cooper.

[Buzzell]

Brighton’s front four looks juicy. Our back line needs to be tip top today.

[JimJams]

Ferguson starts for them, looking to impress his future employers.

[The Doctor]

was really hoping we had a manager who could see Ayew is about as effective as a lubeless colonoscopy but otherwise fine

Ayew done OK this season, far from pointless, he's two injury time goals have won us 4 points.

[ClaphamFox]

To everyone surprised that Mavidid isn’t starting - did any of you actually see him when he came on on Tuesday?

Surely RVN just needs to find that Rutter video from last season when he was gobbing off about Leeds as a bit of motivation.

 

I know Saturday/Sunday amateur football is a whole different kettle of fish but loved it when played against a player that was a bit of a douche.

Genuinely though at first that this was a Ghanaian u-21 we had brought through the academy.

Think Mav needs to prove it in training and not default to him, as he has been a bit sub par of late

I found him quite exciting on Tuesday vs West Ham.

I thought he didn’t look anywhere near fit when he came on last game, I would guess minutes being managed 

[Bilo]

What I would say is that RVN got the subs absolutely spot on in the West Ham game. Daka and Mav wreaked pure havoc.

Mainly off the bench though, I haven’t really been that impressed when he has started
