Saint Matty 76

I can't say I've kept up with it too much myself but everything I've heard about Johnstone this season is overwhelmingly negative.

Gutting.

Apologies, of course. No issue with Fraser leaving, but in the market for a number 2? My god.

Those Telegraph quotes are absolutely mental. I don't know what to say if we're accepting McCarthy as No.1 for another season, my god.

Really hope to see this kid and Ballard (amongst anyone else deserving I may not have heard of) in and around the squad for the last few games.

I really hope we're in for Brennan Johnson if he's after a move this Summer. I've just read that Everton have been talking to him but it depends on if they stay up obviously. Feels like another Olise/Bowen opportunity. 15g 10a in the Championship from the wing at 20. YPOTY. Contract expires in 12 months.

I think it should be Tella and one of Armstrong/Elyounoussi for the rest of the season. I think he sometimes is a bit of an easy target by my god was Redmond bad yesterday. Not much to add about the game that hasn't been said already, but that has to be the worst set of home fans I've ever heard.

Two pretty bad teams at the moment with a random win against Arsenal thrown in there. Forster Tino/Perraud - Bednarek/Lyanco - Salisu - KWP Romeu - JWP Moi/Stu - Redmond Che - AA/Broja Couldn't really care too much about who he plays out of the toss-ups, just don't want to see 1 striker and both of Elyounoussi/Armstrong playing again.

I still don't know why though? If this isn't the time to try a player that'll likely be here next year over somebody who won't, then when is? I agree as much as everybody else that AA has looked shit, but I can't see why we're not giving him a run at this stage when we don't necessarily need goals.

Why? It's also not like Broja is getting them either.

I mean the career difference between Armstrong and Broja will be telling enough in itself.

I definitely agree, but would rather give it a go and know for sure at this stage,

I definitely don't see why Broja is playing if he's not staying next year. Develop Armstrong at the very least.

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.
