If people genuinely think playing Walker up front on his own and benching Godden & Gyökeres is the best way (or the best way management think) we can get a result here then I'm completely lost for words.

Yes there are people who are overly negative, but there also those on the other end of the spectrum who go Johnny opposite to make a point.

We will probably go and win now given all this but you can't have a go at people being concerned with that team selection.

Concern is fine.
Robins has lost the plot and is off round Boddys later to kick his teeth in and shit in Joys handbag is another.

Following on from shmmees question, when did Walker last start a Championship game?
Well he started at Preston and Blackburn last season and scored in both, i think they might be the last ones. I think he's scored all of his goals for us in games he's started

I agree with @clint van damme - if the players are playing up then he does need to show them who is boss, but I'm not sure this is the way to do it. From this moment in time that teamsheet feels like we are effectively throwing the game.

Hopefully Jamie Allen has had some Crystal Meth with his cereal this morning.
Hope hes had feckin speed too

I’m not okay with this unless there’s some kind of tactical reasoning. If it’s discipline related, it should be done in private, at the training ground. Fines etc. To compromise the team is potentially putting us in a even worse situation.

Just have to trust the starting 11. Fucknows.. it might just turn out to be what inspires Walker.
The fucking caveat is: If he plays well and the other two stop sulking, does Walker get dropped… again?

I don’t buy the shit people are making up with fallouts and Robins trying to make a point from the changing of a couple of players for what is more than likely going to be a different system. Proper hive mind stuff on here at the moment.
It’s weird as fuck.

Football manager changing a losing team around / not having players doing two full games a week at the beginning of the season. Shock, horror!

Yeah, never going to happen twice in a week. Apparently Joy hasn’t cleaned his last one out yet…it was after curry night with the team when Vik stole the last poppadom, hence his exclusion today. Made a right mess

Well we all know what's way off don't we?
Hyam was sold, the team wasn't enhanced and MR and the players are pissed right off!
So he's dropped them all?

Only so long and so much can blame Hyam going

I can see what robins is doing here , it's a gamble, to let Norwich throw Everything at us for the first 45-60 mins then use the five subs to blitz them for the last period of the game. Like I say it's a gamble but if at half time it's 0-0 then we go on to win it will be genius tactics. PUSB

I’ll probably regret this but has anyone got a stream? IFollow being an arsehole about VPNs today so if they don’t want me to pay to watch the game I won’t.

Regardless of current form i can't remember us even when winning playing well with two up top. It just doesn't work and we end up creating very little.

Fulham x 2, Sheffield United, Peterborough all last season off the top of my head.

It’s the team I’d play with the exception of Walker for Vik. Not sure why everyone is having a meltdown. Maybe because Eccles & Waghorn aren’t starting! Saying that though, I do remember those away games from our first season back in The Championship with Walker as the lone striker. They weren’t good
