Saint Garrett

Championship has changed quite a bit since we were last in it! Haven't been to Bristol City, Luton, Preston, Rotherham, Blackpool, all the glamourous places! So would look forward to visiting those next season assuming they're all still in that league next season. Also got Wycombe and Shrewsbury with an outside chance of getting in the playoffs in L1 that I've not visited.

He's not going to come out and say, "you should have seen Duje's right hook"...

I don't see how Lavia doesn't play. I think Jones will play the following plus 5 others: Bazunu, KWP (Bree if not fit), Bednarek, Salisu, JWP, Lavia Could be any 6 from the below based on formation/tactics/arguments. Lyanco, Perraud, DCC, Diallo, Alcaraz, Edozie, Sulemena, Elyounoussi, Orsic, AArmstrong, Adams, Onuacho. And for me this is one of his biggest issues. Over 3 months he's had this squad, and he has no idea who to to play or which system to play. 4231, 433, 532, 523, 3421, who the fuck knows.

Forest 😂

The bloke chats absolute waffle. Get him out.

Yup, likewise, thought they were excellent and probably deserved to win, Fulham seemed to have the ball twice in the second half and scored both times, happens though…!

Yeah. He probably needs to start tbf. I worry that he’s not the type of forward that can press and play aggressive front footed, high energy football, so if we’re going down that route then it’s probably Adams. But given we’ll play 5 at the back and “get it up to the big lad” he might as well play. Didn’t look great at heading vs Brentford though!

I wouldn’t rule out JWP staying if we got relegated. Thought might be more difficult in reality. Probably also depends on who comes in for him.

ITV4 I believe. Pretty sure they were expecting the NJ derby though,

Feels like us and Bournemouth are gone. And it will be one out of Leicester, Wolves, West Ham, Leeds and Everton. Personally I don’t see Everton or West Ham going down… If I had to pick one now maybe I’d go Leicester to fall in.

£15 seems excessive tbh

For me: Bazunu; KWP(Bree) DCC Salisu Perraud; JWP Lavia Alcaraz; Sulemana Edozie; Adams Leaves the following out of the first XI: Macca, Caballero, AMN, Lyanco, Bree, Tino, Larios, Bednarek, ABK Aribo, SArmstrong, Djenepo, Elyounoussi, Diallo, AArmstrong, Orsic, Onuacho, Mara, Walcott This squad is far too big, so it's understandable some players will be in the B team. Let's just hope its Diallo and Bednarek...!

I think given how last week went. Id be shocked if players that are potentially in contention will be plying on Friday. Possibly players like Djenepo and ABK might play who may not be fit, but would DCC should start Saturday.

I disagree. From what the guys said last night, I think if we lose against Wolves it's over him.

I think there has to be a massive front footed performance this weekend to change fans ideas of what he is about. If we start playing like that every week, and start winning every week, then fair enough, but atm, that City result was the anomaly, not the others!

Nope.

That’s not what I’m saying. And maybe it was a comment to appease the fans last night.

Rasmus seemed to think the Man City performance was the way Jones “wants” to play, so let’s see on Saturday whether that is the case.

Tbf. I’m surprised anyone asked about the women’s team given the current situation, but the woman who asked the question seemed to be heavily involved with the women’s team. She said she goes home and away to every women’s game, so was asking about funding and keeping the ladies team if we go down. Not something I care about particularly but fair enough if it’s something you’re interested in. He also mentioned that he hoped the women’s side would become completely self sustainable “soon”

Rasmus

They said that the reason why wasn’t Livestreamed was because they wanted to live stream the youth game and they couldn’t do both because they don’t have the staff. It will supposedly be put up on YouTube tomorrow in full without any editing. They are also concerned about swearing given where we are and wanted to bleep them out.

I managed to record it all, however no idea how to get it from my watch to my phone! Also got to drive home, will have a go later if no one else got there first. Generally my summary would be, people were firm but fair and respectful. My gut feel is they didn’t realise how much the bad feeling was towards Jones. They don’t agree with some of the decisions but they don’t want to micromanage the manager, they have to let him put his own stamp on it. They’re expecting a big response this weekend playing high tempo front footed, quick transition football. They’re all disappointed with where we are but they believe Jones is still the right man, as of now, (though I did have a brief off the record chat with Rasmus, and my gut feeling is they haven’t sacked him because they haven’t found anyone else.) The academy pathway is a key part of the club going forward. They need to (as a board) do more work to be closer to the fans and more involved with the local community. The bloke who was in charge of it kept trying to move it away from Jones chat but fans kept going back to it. There is an idea that all SR clubs will play with a similar ethos, so they have the opportunity to flip players between the clubs, but at the same time, that’s not specifically formation and specific tactics etc. that’s down to the manager. Probably missed a load out but sure someone else can add to this post. Driving home now.

I'm calling bullshit, but who knows.

I think those figures are absolutely miles off reality. DCC was one of Marseille's highest earners, and the reason he cost so little in a transfer fee. Livramento less than what JJMorgan wanted? England International (lol) AMN on £35k a week? Not a chance.
