Baird of the land

It's funny I was thinking about Macca over the weekend and how he was a good shot stopper at his peak. I was wondering if because of that he had declined faster with age than keepers who are great organisers/positional/physically. Hope it was more of a confidence / injury thing and we see a revival over the run in. (Nice that he got a confidence building clean sheet to start) If so he'd be an upgrade over the poor shot stopper bazanu even if he's less assured with ball at his feet.

Can't think any more than 1 game at a time. Beat Cardiff and see where we are.

It’s a shame for bazanu that’s he’s injured. If we’re lose a player to injury we’re lucky it is him and not a key player. It is about playing to mccarthy’s strengths. He’s not going to have the distribution but Hopefully he can show himself to be a better shot stopper, cross dealer, which are attributes i value in a gk.

Getting slightly sloppy

Geing greedy i'd like a quick 4th and then give a few of the key players a early rest ahead of Saturday.

Interesting to Mara is the one out.

Find Martin’s whole i don’t want to put a cm on the bench because it limits his attacking options logic extremely weird. With 9 spots on the bench it seems that there is room to accommodate that and still have a variety of attacking options.

Yeah I thought Stephen’s was excellent at CB. Never been much of a bednarek fan

Charles, just has to be on the bench imo

By the time they play coventry, coventry will likely be on the beach

It says something about our goalkeeping recruitment, we've got mccarthy who has been put out to pasture, the cheap replacement backup is no good and the starter's upside is his distribution.

Stephen’s was already stretching his hamstring before the change. i don’t really trust any of Armstrong, airbo or smallbone to have stamina for 90 minutes. Badly need to get something out of a talent like Charles.

Fraser was pretty controlled when you see it back, foot down etc imo.

See hoedt is saying there should have been a red card. I think he’s referring to when their defender Porteous was knocked down, did anyone see what actually occurred?

Interesting. My first reaction was could he have done better but haven’t seen the goal angle
