Saint Matty 76

Not happy to see Fellows dropped. Our most (only?) direct player who I think has been good. Robinson not even on the bench either, very weird.

Ipswich and Leicester both failing to win tonight. Don’t think the table will look anything like it did last time around points-wise judging by the starts.

Not overly convincing but a very good result. Real chance to go on a big run now with our next 8 fixtures. Hopefully we start seeing a lot more of that from Ross Stewart.

Could've gone either way really. Probably enough contact on McCarthy for the foul. Shame how we completely forget how to play football when we take a lead though.

Here he fucking is!

Ah good get our best player off.

Never a penalty but can't forgive somebody missing the target from the spot. Shocking.

Quarshie is absolutely useless.

Fellows and Jander started well. Arma not so much. Dare I post about Robinson again... The LCB to CB to RCB football is also pretty jarring without Harwood-Bellis who is probably our only good progressive passer, for all his defensive fault.

Hate to write players off early but holy fuck this Downs fella

Can only laugh at a half like that, so familiar! Get Robinson on to have a go at Frimpong who looks dross.

Robinson ignored again! So weird.

15 minutes of dominating without ever looking like scoring and then one stupid mishap at the back makes it 2-0, so familiar.

We look really poor overall but Shea Charles is an excellent player. Hope that contract is close.

No positives so far. Azaz and Fellows need to do more and Downs doesn’t look worth his spot. Archer and Robinson on at HT for me.

Downs looks pretty useless out there, to be honest. Hope this is a quote-able post by full time but I’d get Archer on sharp-ish.

Nice to see us play through the middle with a nice touch and quick ball from Azaz, though. Never felt too confident in Downs there.

Probably too soon to overreact but we do look extremely devoid of ideas. Said it earlier but it's baffling how Robinson has been the one to drop out despite looking like our most dangerous player in every game he played.

Bazunu still the worst keeper in the league then? Nobody could’ve seen it coming.

Happy to see Downs get a go. Would’ve started Robinson though who is desperately unlucky to have fallen out of favour.

Harsh on Fraser but I’d go with the following - Bazunu Roerslev - THB - Stephens - Manning Jander - Charles Fellows - Azaz - Robinson Archer

No idea if that account is actually Scienza (Alfie follows, maybe a sign it is?) but pretty funny nonetheless. Especially Blackmore admitting that he never actually listened to the podcast before sharing the negativity on, proper journalism!

I think Fraser plays this one for his work-rate and defensive abilities, not even counting his performances so far, with Robinson maybe missing out from the start. No excuse for us to not be running a 4231 in this game. Bazunu Roerslev - Stephens - THB - Manning Charles - Downes Fellows - Azaz - Fraser Archer Subs: McCarthy, Quarshie, Wood, Jelert, Jander, Robinson, Scienza, Armstrong, Stewart Pretty funny strength in depth. Edwards, Aribo, Matsuki, Edozie and Downs not making the matchday squad.

Yeah no doubt it's done after that Tweet. Hopefully we've shifted Bree/Aribo/Smallbone/Edozie, somehow.

Basically permanents in the form of their loan fee for us, with the two clubs just not wanting to take them on for multiple years. Bree, Taylor and ABK won't ever be back here. Ramsdale, Sugawara and Brereton-Diaz the three loanees who likely will be.
