The 9-0 could be under threat here. Such a bad season to get relegated last year. The three promoted sides this season are utter shite.

Someone should get Martin, his coaches, Charles and Downes to watch the video of the North Londom derby and just watch Bissouma's positioning. First class and exactly what we don't do well.

Bazza Bree - THB - Bednarek - KWP ----Charles - - Smallbone-- Stu--------Adams-----Edozie -----------Armstrong------- P.s. And when we want to sub a winger, put Amo Ameyaw on, who deserves not to be shunted below dossers like Sulemana and Aribo.

Looked lucky not to give a pelanty away there too. If matey had gone down, reckon ref would have blown. Better shape but if we have midfield cover we don't need Downes and Smallbone. Provided Charles and Downes are disciplined, we can get Alcaraz in there. Also, not sure why you would pick Holgate over Bree. Bree isn't amazing but he was regarded as a very good Championship full back, and our full backs are actually playing in full back roles today. Important 45 mins coming up!

Doing it up the arse. Sure, there's a novelty value, but a fanny is better.

Should have gone full Saville and fucked his dead mum to get it out of his system. But, yes, I agree with you. It seems to me that any sort of pathological behaviour usually derives from some sort of longing or loss that is deeper than the sensation of the experience itself.

It's not as though Man City have stayed the same though. Guardiola has changed things during his time there. The idea that we need to copy some sort of blueprint in the Championship is silly. Most Champ teams would love to have Adams, Stewart, Armstrong, Fraser, Alcaraz, Sulemana and Edozie. Most Champ teams would probably like to have Bednarek, Stephens, HTB and KWP. Apparently Manning and Bree are good full backs at this level. I expect most teams would like to have Charles too. We don't need to be clever. Just get a decent structure in defence and get the attacking players in a positive mindset. Job done.

He started Joe Aribo over Alacaraz FFS. Out.

Thanks for the effort you put into summing it up.

My car does about 8mpg. Lolz.

Beaches in Croatia are shite to hang about on. All pebbles. It is scenic, but not really comfortable. Croatia is lovely but if beach is your main motivation, then no. Having said that, was at Bol beach on the island of Brac and two young local girls, who were fit, got their tits out. But, yeah, in general, for beaches I would go to Maldives, Thailand, Mauritius or Lepe.

I used to be clinically fed up. I think a run through the north would tip me over though

I'll back Bucks and you back Berks. Come on the fuckin bucks!

Get off me you horrid nonce!!!! And leave my mum alone.

Ron? Derek? Trevor?

Sue Cook has pulled out!

I like what we do on the ball. Yesterday the line up was wrong. I'm confident that once all our forwards are available and settled and we have people in their correct position we will score plenty of goals. We have also added some height to the squad with Ross Stewart and THB. Again, once we set up with our best XI we should be OK at set pieces. Aside from individual errors, the big issue, which has been obvious in pretty much every match is the lack of midfield cover for the back 4. Simply, our midfield is too high as a unit. We absolutely need to calm it down and have someone goal side of the ball at all times. Being turned over and having all midfielders the wrong side of the ball really isn't acceptable (unless there's a couple of minutes left and we're chasing the game). We need Charles to sit deep. We need Downes or Smallbone to also play disciplined and then we can have Alcaraz or whoever charging beyond the forwards.

Bazunu is fucking shite. Also, why don't we have a deep lying midfielder?

Smallbone fit. Awesome.

It will be interesting to see if RM goes with two "pivot" (excuse me) midfielders or sticks with the two "8"s. We could play Charles and Downes or we could just play one of them. Personally I'd play both, with Alcaraz in front allowing him to push very high and Interchange with ArmA, so that he can drop a bit deeper. I'm assuming Adams won't feature. I guess THB hasn't been around long enough to start so it will be Holgate and Bednarek at the back.

We musket a striker.

He's white?!! WTF?

I don't really think we need another wide forward regardless of Sulemana leaving or staying (yes, I know RM said we would get one...). Edozie, Fraser, SAA are obviously competing for spots, then there are Djepeno and Aribo who don't seem to be going anywhere, plus we've got Stuart Armstrong, Alcaraz and Adam Armstrong all potentially competing for an "8", assuming that we will usually play two of Charles, Downes and Smallbone in midfield. Personally, I'd be happy playing Stu, ArmA or Alcaraz in one of those wider roles sooner than spaffing money on another winger. Striker and CB should be the priorities.

Don't be mean, he's Welsh. At least he didn't say, Llywyyn Supporter.

I'd sooner start Mara, assuming Adams is off, simply to allow ArmA in a deeper role. When Mara came on at the weekend, ArmA began running the game. Alternatively, Alcaraz can have a crack at striker. I just feel like it would be a mistake not to have ArmA in that deeper role when he's playing so well.
