Saint Garrett Posted 19 October, 2022 Share Posted 19 October, 2022 I would normally expect changes tonight anyway with 3 games in a week, and a day less rest than them. Luckily all our players are shit so it doesn’t really make much difference who plays. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Billy Posted 19 October, 2022 Share Posted 19 October, 2022 A loss at Bompey will surely be the straw that breaks the camels back as far as Ralph is concerned. If we win will we be happy to see him carry on or will we have the hump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disconnect Posted 19 October, 2022 Share Posted 19 October, 2022 I'd mix it up and go for pace and flair - Edozie, Mara and Djenepo. Element of surprise, and see what we can do. With those 3, we could get quite a few freekicks, and fancy DCC to power in either and header or a knock down scramble in the box after a free kick or corner. On a side note, interesting to note that Stephens has only played a minute for Bournemouth so far...! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s because he is not a Premier League defender and the fact we played him so much and that some fans STILL try to make a case for him tells you all you need to know about how shite we have been at the back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 19 October, 2022 Share Posted 19 October, 2022 Its terrible that we are going into a game against a team as poor and small as Bournemouth with most us expecting nothing more than a miserable loss. This lot are crap, somehow they're 11th in the league. It's embarassing that whilst we're struggling to stay in the league club likes Bournemouth, Brighton, Brentford and Fulham are looking upwards, meanwhile we're told we're arrogant and lucky to be here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Watson Posted 19 October, 2022 Share Posted 19 October, 2022 Do not seeing anything less than a 2 goal loss. Like Turkish says losing to a tinpot club like Bompey really has to be as bad as it can get. Whether the gutless people in charge do anything if we do lose, I certainly will not hold my breath in hope. Oh for a Gary Neil type coach and motivator.

Dusic Posted 19 October, 2022 Share Posted 19 October, 2022 Telling thing is, aside from possibly Edozie its pretty hard to say that he is leaving out players who are better, or have shown better form, than those who are starting. In attack it really is a weak set of options at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDog07 Posted 19 October, 2022 Share Posted 19 October, 2022 Edozie having the attacking mentality bashed out of him before he can get a full 90. Shown too much promise in the final third to deserve a start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanimal Posted 19 October, 2022 Share Posted 19 October, 2022 Super Jo Aribo! looked fantastic when he first played just like AA and a few others before him and now also Mara and AMN Just what do they do to them tactically and mentally in training as it’s bewildering and beyond me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
