He's picked a team good enough to win today...that's focused enough imo.

Agreed re Lavia. I can only assume he felt Diallo and JWP were more in need of a rest, and didn't fancy AMN in there.

It should be good enough to win today, and keeps others fresh for Tuesday. I'm happy with that.

It was a misunderstanding mate. I took your comment to mean that you favoured a creator over a finisher 👍

It was tongue in cheek to be fair. Bree may be ok, and having been underwhelmed initially, he deserves a chance and will hopefully step up if and when needed.

It'll be different next week, check back in for an update!

Tella is, Bree isn't, Armstrong was but isn't now, Che wasn't but then was but now isn't. I think.

I have no issue of a plan B of more creation if we don't address plan A of getting a better finisher in. If that was your view too, it didn't read that way. No wish to argue mate, I just pointed out that I thought your opinion strange - don't be upset at being questioned, it's a forum.

Your willingness to accept that we should settle for carrying on with a striker who misses chance, and that we try to fix the problem by creating more chances in the hope he'll finish one of them, is one of the strangest opinions I've ever read on here. I think it's obvious to most that the better solution is to have a striker who's less wasteful.

That we didn't get wins is why we're where we are, but the point the poster was making is that we're not cut adrift, and are in touch with other strugglers. Sure, we're bottom but 1 win and we won't be. Don't get me wrong, I think we're probably down, but our future is in our hands and nothing has been decided yet...apart from on here.

I'd rather have someone who's more able to take the chances we create, not someone teeing up more chances for Che to miss. We need a striker, not a winger - let's not let the lack of striker links make us kid ourselves that we need a winger.

Yep. I don't get it all. Finding a different way/person to set up chances for Che to miss is pointless.

Something underwhelming like Karlan Grant from WBA, or Deniz Undav from Brighton, on loan at the last minute is my prediction of where we'll end up.

Can't argue with any of that imo. Gives fans the reassurance that they're alive to the issues and are on it, but tells sellers that we won't have their pants pulled down.

There's no need for that mate. Criticise him for his lack of clout and poor track record if you must, but the personal digs are out of order and getting boring now.

Could be a factor, and our predicament may well link to the terms he's being offered, ie a "relegation clause". No risk of one of those coming into play at Chelsea. Either way, saints at the bottom of the league, or Chelsea, he ain't going to pick us.

I watch football mate, and I see a keeper in Bazunu who has great potential; who's been pushed in at the deep end; has minimal presence; makes unforced errors; and doesn't save stuff that a decent keeper should. Where do I find those stats in the table please?

Where's it said that he won't sign because he's not getting first team football? I think that's an assumption. I suspect it's more likely that he doesn't want to commit to a club staring down the barrel of relegation. Who could blame him.

Eh? What's a made up semi-stat got to do with Bazunu not saving very much and having minimal presence?

You're crackers mate.

We keep churn-ing them out don't we.

Dunno, couldn't tell. That is an abomination of a hair do thou - glad I'm bald if it avoids a barber doing that to me.
