Saint Matty 76

Stupid enough to have a ticket for that one too!

We heard the exact same thing last year and haven't had an issue. Even after selling our best player and leading goalscorer and replacing him with a kid.

A team who need to win are always going to have somewhat of a competitive edge though, that's just obvious? I know it's not nice but an already safe team falling off the ball with 5/6 games to go is hardly unprecedented.

I 100% agree. I said it before the game that the lineup was wrong in my eyes and it proved apparent immediately. I think it's harsh to say he's gone stale when we're as comfortable as we've been in years. I know we didn't win but we'd have literally gone up to 9th.

Let’s not get too dramatic about a game that literally means nothing. We’ve stayed up again with absolutely zero issue, with no investment and some good days against the big teams. With our structure, we can’t ask for much more. There’s incredibly obvious areas for us to improve this Summer, hopefully the new owners allow it to happen.

Haha I love Che as an all round player but how he is a striker? Like fucking hell.

Now we’ve got Che’s sitter out the way maybe he can grab a goal.

Impressive to find somebody worse in the air than Bednarek but here’s Lyanco.

Is Romeu taking the piss though.

Never the right lineup. Get Che on for Valery.

Disappointed with that. Different teams face different challenges and this is not the team we need to face Burnley.

Not this game but Bissouma is suspended for Sunday due to 10 yellows.

If you can't see an issue with a keeper being dropped for a 32 year old back-up who had previously never played over 8 games in a league campaign since playing in Serie B 6 years ago, then what's the point?

You already know the answer to both questions, have a day off.

He's good on FM but it's a bit worrying that he doesn't play for Fiorentina. A GK, CB, Winger and ST needed. I'd like another option for Romeu too but it doesn't seem likely we'll have the wiggle room.

Literally. 😅 I know recency bias is big but my god how are we forgetting Forster's output for the last 4 years?

He has to go, still. They both should have been let go this Summer and it's a shame if AM is the one we choose to keep. I'd be very disappointed if a few performances when the pressures off lead to us giving an overpaid goalkeeper a few more years.

I thought the same. Was funny when it definitely goaded him into shooting from a ridiculous angle with a free-kick and ballooning it over the bar though.

It’s honestly good news for me if he’s off. Anything upwards of £10m is a result and should be more than enough to upgrade. Worrall from Forest looked good today.

I like Armstrong's movement but watching him strike a ball makes me gobsmacked that he hit 29 last year. It could all be down to confidence of course but he's so snatchy.

The things which make Salisu so good for us also leave him liable to a moment like that, it's a shame but it is what it is.

Good half. Bring one of our real strikers on now.

Terrible finish.

Yeah Broja or Che in for Long and I'd have been happy.

I could deal with Caballero in for Forster, Stephens in for Bednarek, any 2/3 of the full-backs and probably Adam Armstrong in for Broja. Not taking it seriously for me would be any of Valery, Diallo, Djenepo, Smallbone, Walcott or Long. Valery unlucky to be amongst those other names but it is what it is, I want to go to Wembley.
