Baird of the land

Other results went ok for us. Just such a shame saints have to play the other teams at the bottom. Lampard don’t worry saints are riding to your rescue.

I understand the 5 at the back against Fulham. It worked until we refused to defend a corner. But Forest at home to play it was wrong. Then to persist with it till the 85th minute was criminal. Also not really getting his selection tombola. Players who i thought were ok at the weekend were either left on the bench, given desirory minutes or played out of position.

Jones sorted that out i see, he's convinced our players to never hit the ball towards either net.

0 zero shots on target. Fantastic work Sports Republic. Masterful attacking players. I can completely see why they haven't recalled or signed anyone yet.

How? Their goal is a ball free zone.

70 minutes, no shots on target. Quality, clearly no need to recall or sign anyone.

Edozie as a wingback really. Make 3 subs and don't bring on S.Armstrong who was bright at the weekend.

Triple change. Stinks of desperation.

Funny that people were calling for DCC to play, he's been a disater this half.

When you look at our lack attacking options is shows up just how criminally negligent the board have been. Won't even recall our goalscoring loanee. You'd think based on their actions they want to be relegated.

What i want to know is what is their rationale regarding failure to recall Tella yet.

I don't see the attraction for the club to leave him at Burnley unless we've already agreed a deal to sell him there.

To me the Aams problem is how he is the only option, given how bad the other striker signings have worked out and the failure to recruit in the summer. He's stready attacker who will score some chances but he's never going to be lethal.

Today was definitely a day i was ruing Ralph sending Tella out on loan., Edozie runs out of steam and manager has to choose between Perraud/A.Armstrong and Mara to replace him. Get him back asap.

Perraud certainly initially was playing the same role as Edozie, hence why he had the chance on goal.

Personally i didn't have an issue with edozie sub. Really people wanted useless garbage like A.Armstrong/Mara on? What disappointed me was not bringing Lavia on for the booked Elyounessi at 1-1.

Nonsense, he hasn't been able to bring in a single player & his lack of options up the pitch really showed today.

Dont agree. we were overloaded. There's 2 guys at the front and 2 at the back with one marker each. I don't blame Lyanco anymore than i blame Armstrong. Equally i'd say ABK shouldn't concede a corner when Cairney dives for a penalty.

Perraud substitution said more about our bench Armstrong/Mara than about the manager. When perraud got put through but lacked pace and had to cut back and get tackled i was thinking i wish we'd been able to replace Edozie with Tella(but some austrian idiot loaned him out)

Lot of positives from it but at the end of the day it is another possibility for point/s missed. Really need some reinforcements. End up replacing edozie with Perraud says a lot about our attacking options. Let's get Tella back for a start and then get a striker to compete/play with che. Really poor to concede from 2 set pieces. Frustrated we only brought Lavia on when we went behind. Probably that's my only criticism of Jones.

Cmon get S. Armstrong on

Yeah i don't really get Aribo as a wide mid. He seems unsuited to it for me. Hopefully we get S.Armstrong on for him.

Pretty happy with the perofrmance. ABK and Lyanco looking good at the back. We've been much more aggressive. We just didn't take our chances. Adams & Edozie with lack of clinicalness and salisu with an awful header. Their goal, i do wonder about Bazanu on crosses. Is he too deep as didn't get there like last week. The corner, just poor not to mark the guy on the edge of the box and then an unlucky deflection on a shot going wide(when you need a bit of luck to go your way) Hopefully we can come out fast after the break and get the equaliser.

There’s clearly a recall clause (otherwise kompany would have said he can’t be recalled) which means there wasn’t a complete agreement for the full season. it might not suit him but we’d look monumentally stupid if we get relegated whilst he continues to perform well getting them promoted. Don’t see any long run counter productivity other than annoying Burnley, which is of minimal importance.

Seems like brentford’s toney might be out for a while. Wonder when our rearranged game will be?
