Whilst I agree with that assessment, I thought Armstrong provided a level of midfield dynamism that was missing in the first couple of games he was out for. Don't think it'll be long before he shakes off the rustiness.

Cheers 👍

Or a smidgen of foresight...

Yep, decent start to the season for us

When Ralph was asked about this in yesterday's press conference, he gave a wry smile and acknowledged it wasn't working too well "yet" but he said there are advantages to playing this way once the players have got used to it (or words to that effect). So, it could be something we need to be patient with as fans, if Ralph is convinced it'll pay dividends long term. Or, of course, in acknowledging it isn't working (at the moment) he may well decide to ditch it sooner rather than later...

That can work both ways though. Ex-players can often raise their game when faced with hostility.

Not a bad shout 👍

Because I think the Long + Ings combo works better than Adams + Ings. That said, dropping Adams is likely to dent his confidence so there may well be longer term benefit in persevering with the Adams + Ings partnership. I just have a hunch we'd do better Vs Spurs with Long + Ings.

So, with Redmond out, and Armstrong possibly back in the frame, could we be looking at a starting 11 along these lines: McCarthy KWP Bednarek Stephens Bertie JWP Romeu Armstrong Djenepo Ings Long

When is Armstrong expected to be back? When will Salisu be fit? No further questions m'lud

Nailed on Hojbjerg worldy for the winner I'd imagine

If this doesn't smoke out Glasgow I don't know what will

If Ward-Prowse comes out with the usual "we must learn from this" mantra in the captain's post match interview, I may well let out a small scream...

15 minutes too late...

I'm holding out hope that this is a masterstroke from Hassenhutl... Purposely starting the season badly to force the board into making more signings... #clutchingatstraws
