hypochondriac

Edwards is a defender and has played at right back a number of times throughout his career. Playing Edwards at right back doesn't weaken another area of the team in the same way it does by not playing Fellows on the wing alongside Scienza. No one is claiming Fellows is a genius that's your disingenuous hyperbole but he is highly effective on the wing and particularly with Scienza on the other side. It also means we don't have to play three centre backs which is another one of our problems.

I don't disagree. The formation is by no means entirely to blame, it's just one factor that can be changed.

Wouldn't be a surprise if Fraser goes and clearly Bazunu. With Edozie, Aribo and Edwards then that's a pretty decent clearout for January.

Is it that inept? They will almost certainly sell out and quickly.

If you've got the money to spend then I'm not going to ridicule someone for buying it- it's lovely. It's a shame they didn't make it the official away shirt for this year that would have been superb and probably sold by the bucketload.

Is it much worse than Saints go Wilde or Stop the count?

Surely a striker is the priority now that Downs has gone? I agree about the centre back by the way but we probably need to shift one of the other three. Wood would be my preference given that Stephens isn't likely to leave and THB is half decent on his day.

Worth pointing out that in a genius marketing move, the cost of the shirt is actually £126 with postage which is 76 plus the 50 years since we won anything.

He should have changed the formation ages ago. Edwards has played effectively at right back in the past and jellert has been back for a number of games when we could have played him at rb and Fellows in midfield where he should be. I want Tonda to play 4 at the back but my suspicion that he might consider doing it now because he's felt a bit of pressure is pathetic.

I expect he doesn't want to be second choice. Up until we got someone else Tonda considered him the best choice.

Yes that's essentially what was said.

Second part of the presser suggests Bazunu is off which is good news!

He said something like now he's a bit fitter and can play more they have options for the formation. If he does go to 4 now that will be the excuse rather than admitting he's buckled to fan and pundit pressure. Weak

How many games did he play for us at cb?

I agree. He's never been gi en much of a chance, certainly not an extended run in his best position which is astounding really given how crap we have been in defence.Our worst mistake this year is not trying different things when what we are doing isn't working. I reckon he will turn out great and we will regret getting rid.

He suggested we might even see some changes of formation on occasion now that we have Jelert and roeslev fit. Didn't sound like there would be any big changes though just sometimes.

Tonda in the press conference trying to suggest that the reason we have been forced to only play one way was because our full backs have been injured.Just bollocks imo no reason we have had to constantly play fellows at the back.

Incorrect.

Replacing a centre back or two would be a great idea.

Apart from the fact that we have stuck with Bazunu for ages. He should have been binned off years ago. If we demote him this window then both our goalkeeper and striker departments have been deemed not fit for purpose which is frankly a damming indictment of whoever was responsible for evaluating the squad.

Think how many deaths we would save if we banned all knives and cut all our food by hacking at it with the edge of a spoon.

Genuinely why would the higher ups protest about some of the shit players who are obviously part of a clique seeing us not win get dropped?

But if that were true why have none of them been dropped? In fact, Tonda brought Stephens back. I'd have expected at the very least Manning not to be playing as often as he does.

I heard Steve invested everything in an EU pesticide business but all the chemicals were toxic and made everyone ill so it's not going very well.

Tell that to saints go Wilde. Very close to going bust and then it wouldn't pass because we wouldn't exist. I'd rather not get sold to any old chancer because even if things eventually got better we could be crippled for years. That's not to say that sports Republic are running the club well.
