Hmmm. So is that Azaz in a deeper role, with 3CBs, or Edwards as a DM with a back 4? I wonder if the players know! On paper a 4 of Azaz, Scienza, Archer and Armstrong should create. We're going to win 3-0

We'll win this 3-0.

I met him once. It was a Monday.

Iz it 'cause 'e iz a ginga?

This seems so obvious to me. I don't why we're not doing it.

Yeah. I don't get the 3 CB now. He waffled on about not having the wide players for a back 4, then we signed Fellows and Scienza, and we're still with 3 CBs. I'm pretty patient, but he's not all that. Surely we can do better.

Oh no you don't. When you're up to your armpits in shit, the last thing you do is take a dump.

The individuals are, without doubt, better than the sum of the parts. At this level they are not donkeys. We're under-performing.

Yep. Our squad is, for want of a more eloquent term, "mustard" for this league. Yes, a proper no.9 would be welcome, but AA and CA have scored a fair few in this league. We are MASSIVELY under-performing. That's on the manager.

It's not going well, is it?

I only saw the last 35 minutes. And it was shit.

As a ginger, balding and shaved, I understand.

Do they have Brett Omerod?!

First time this sentence has ever been written.

Decent cross from Manning. Need a few of those now.

Double D to save us!

That was naughty from THB.

Fuck me. What a goal to concede.

Late tuning in. On the plus side, my client meeting was good. Have we been shit?

Return of the king?

Fully planned on watching this. Now I realise I'm double booked watching a Simple Minds audience-with thingy now, and an important call with a customer in California at 8:30. Which means we're going to play a blinder and be 4-0 up by half time. You can thank me later.

Do they wish they were us?

Has he had a run out for the u21s? We desparately need a big guy upfront; really want it to work out for DD, but so far it isn't looking good. I wonder if Will would be brave enough to give him a run of 2/3 starts? Or has he already written him off (as most of us seem to have done!)

That's the best team. But - I'll be amazed if he switches from the 3 CBs. Clearly his preferred formation now, and surely we would have gone back 4 on Saturday after the international break, if he was planning on using it.
