You must be the only one bud !! 😉🦊

There's a lot of over reaction again. 

 

We finished the Hull game strongly and we have still only lost 2 in 11. 

 

Not saying Millwall won't win, but it's not a certainty like most seem to be making out.

1 win in 7 for a team with the biggest wage bill and were in the prem last year. points deduction and we would be in the bottom 3

Not denying it's a mess. 


I just don't get the logic of being so confident we'll lose this that's all. 

 

We'll see how we turn up on the day I guess!

At this point start Okoli up top for a physical presence and an attacking threat from crosses…

 

Can’t be worse than our actual strikers.

I saw someone on Facebook (of course) suggesting we should start Souttar up front for pretty much the same reason lol

Right Marti, time to sharpen your act up and bring some fresh energy to the group. You need to be brave and think about the team for next season and to start putting together a starting XI that want to be here long term and play for our badge. 

 

Jakub

 

Ricardo (C)

Vestergaard 

Okoli

Kristiansen 

 

Winks

James

 

Monga

Ramsey

Fatawu

 

Carranza (may as well give him a run)

 

Subs

Begovic

Page (look to build mins in 8 role)

Nelson - looking to build mins towards starting role)

Silko/Mavididi (rotating with Mav based on impact)

Choudhury (RB & No. 6 cover)

Aluko (full back cover) Thomas if necessary 

Ayew (bring on to secure a lead only)

Evans (build mins if game dictates)

Daka (used to press & stretch pitch - not as a goalscoring option).

 

Sat in the stands

Faes

Soumare

Skipp

Thomas

I would love us to play that back 3 from the start. Most threatening we'd looked all season going forward.

 

Stolarcyzk

 

Okoli 

Vestergaard

Nelson

 

Fatawu

James

Winks

Monga

 

Ramsey

 

Daka

Ayew

 

Evans on the bench, to come on when our strikers inevitably can't score again.

Would probably be more mobile on one leg than our current options in fairness lol

Reading the presser notes. Nothing is going to change is it. It'll be the same dross rolled out

Starting to fire more hot air out his chuff than Steve Cooper did, need to see actions rather than words Marti.

He said sooo much stuff on the when you’re smiling podcast and it was basically a load of lies. Nothing about what he’s said has happened

We may very well have the highest wage bill but our players are shit .

That's the fear .... points deduction and closer to a relegation... I don't see the quality or fight in the team to drag us out of a mess

Come on Mike -I’m the opposite -  I don’t think there is enough over reaction - I think we let them away with it to easily - I booed them off against Wrexham and Portsmouth- they were pathetic and people were clapping - unreal - we are being subjected to the biggest bunch of living stealers you will ever see - they are a complete disgrace

We're so awfully predictable in most aspects of our game.

 

Mentality, set-up, build-up, mistakes, chance creation (minimal), individual player traits (Fatawu). Makes us very easy to play against and defend against.

 

The only bright sparks are Ramsey and James but they can't seem to complete 90s together (granted one of them coming back from injury). 

Surround them with quality or players that receive the ball in space that we can create for them and we'll flourish. But we don't do that. The build-up is slow, it means opposition can get back into shape and double-up on wingers, and we miss out on opportunities to exploit weaknesses or gaps in defences.

 

And on the occasions that we do, we're not clinical enough. It's good that the midfield/wingers contribute to goals, but without a proper striker that actually carries a physical threat or finishing, it makes defences play with confidence and ease. 

 

There's always chances for opposition if they want it. Given how we've played so far, we've been fortunate to see games out where we've got 3 points. We have a habit of making things difficult when they don't need to be. Too many players don't actually have the motivation or concentration to play out a full 90 at their best. Too many passengers so other players who do play well have to work extra hard which becomes a detriment. 

 

If Marti has learnt anything from Tuesday, it's that Ayew, Daka, Soumare and Faes should never form part of a starting line up again.

 

The other predictable thing - Ivanovic is bound to score!

Par for the course after the last FT meltdown when we played these and were top of the Championship
