Luke Thomas hitting a treble 20 is the highlight of his football career

Why did nobody tell Luke to focus on his darts when he was a kid?

I think it's pretty evident they did.

So, who do we think the flip flops represent today?

OK a new petition for Luke Thomas to sign upto professional darts instead of football.

Silko over monga?

Monga has a knock, out injured.

I still wonder whether anything happened at half time last week with Winks. He seemed very opinionated in the first half gesturing and appointing blame to anyone not called Winks. The tantrum after his own misplaced pass was embarassing, blaming others for his mistake. If there was a half time discussion maybe he overstepped the mark? To be subbed for his all round sh*teness was justifiable in itself. 
 

Avoid defeat, anlienate the anttitude problem ones and get minutes for Nelson, Page, Aluko and Evans and it will be a small step towards a forward thinking plan for the future. A defending defender Souttar in for that giraffe who thinks he’s Beckenbauer and we’ll become harder to beat.

Need to get the ball upto Ayew, feed off him and get the ball wide to Fatawu and Mavididi early before they double up on them

Two things this team and Marti are know for doing all season.  Getting the ball out quickly and Ayew feeding the ball to the wingers.  If that happens we still have 10 step overs, standing still and ignoring the quick cross.

Ayew bingo. 
 

Score like a regular forward.

take long shots constantly.

hold up the ball and ignore everyone around him and fall over.

stop running and pass back during a counter.

fall over causing a counter 

Don’t forget taking all of the free kicks 

[ronnup]

Faes dropped good

Like the bench

****ing Ayew up front....bad

[Haywood_6]

Right come on then....let's get this hideous performance out of the way so I can get on with the rest of my weekend

It does always feel like Marti uses a "lineup generator" doesn't it.   

 

You could barely guess the line up week to week and be accurate. 

I’m confused, so he doesn’t keep playing the same players in the same formation every week then because I’m being told he does 🤷‍♂️ 

 

I think I could guess at least 9 if not 10 players every week it’s not that hard when you look at our squad

Winks has been hanging around with Faes for too long.

Turns out he’s better at darts

Did he miss the board?

[grth2004]

Absolutely Must win this. 
Each to their own with rivalries but a hate Derby with an absolute passion and if we don’t win this one I’d expect Marti to resign after the match. 

[Katy]

Just put the tv on to see Derby coming in all smiles and messing about and then it cuts to our miserable bastards. 

[Ian Nacho]

Pretty sure Mav has gone bald.

That wouldn't be difficult. Good to see the Seagrave holiday camp in all it's glory

[hejammy]

ITV or sky coverage? 

[Paninistickers]

Just can't believe anyone is remotely pleased with that line up. 

 

Our only striker that worries teams (regardless of his faults) is dropped. The worst and weakest full back in professional football. Bdcr essentially doesn't play. Skipp offers at best a 5/10 performance. Ricky for all his talent is physically weak. 

 

It's a powder puff slow weak, tactically basic xi. Absolutely hideous. The opponents only have to show some muscle and we are blown out of the water, every week. 

[davieG]

Looks like it’s live on ITV

Derby are near the bottom for possession so you would imagine they sit deep therefore no space for Daka to run, would assume Ayew/Reid are there to play between the CBs and set up balls for JJ to run onto & shoot from the edge of the box & Ayew probably better option than the red card in waiting of Carranza
