Best hope is a 0-0

The Raphael loan just looks silly.

5 mins of him off the bench is better than having 5 fucking defenders on the bench.

He’s not doing much coming off the bench for Wigan, I don’t see why he’s going to come on and change the game in this division

Hope all the people celebrating Sheaf going are happy. 6.5m quid can't play centre mid it turns out! Time to get a proper sporting director in that can do something other than get bids rejected for Scandinavian teenagers please.

No way , we can win today

 

[skybluecam]

Rudoni is a big miss but fuck me some of you are overreacting. He was very forgettable last week.

All teams will have injuries and lose their better players at some stage .. just got to get on with it weve enough quality to win

 

[Matt smith]

Based on what exactly

Nothing. Just me panicking

For me it’s a good team still. Just can’t change anything attacking wise from the bench. Apart from Simms, who we all agree ain’t the answer

No but Eccles can.

The issue is lack of attacking depth.

Girls seem to like him

And a few lads too.

Take a point

No Rudoni or EMC! Only 6 games in to the season and our lack of signings is already showing!

Rudoni has had a slow start to the season by his own high standards.
Torp can do just as good a job in that role knowing Eccles is more than capable behind him.

We have a lean squad though

 

[procdoc]

I think we will win though

Was it you who said that about tavares 2 minutes before he came on and scored?

 

[Otis]

You know, I don't usually like the term "bunch of wet wipes", but if the cap fits.

 

[Nick]

Hopefully a torp screamer to win and then bring on 5 defenders to go 9-1-0

 

[skybluegod]

Cant see it being anything else tbh

It couldn't possible be a small muscular injury from I don't know... Training?

 

[DT-R]

To think a LOT of people on here called me and a couple of others "bedwetters" because of our concern in our awful transfer window! Now only 6 games in and already missing 2 of our biggest threats going forward and we were without Saka for the first 3 games. Thats 3 players already missing games that we dont have an immediate cover for any of those 3!
Yet people still said we'd had a great window

Well yes , but he was holding his shoulder at leicester and ive just put 2+2 together .

Exactly

This team is more than capable enough

It could be, he jarred his shoulder last game though. It's still heavily strapped every game.

Well he's more likely to than Bidwell or Latibeaudiere

And yet we’re unbeaten

 

[HJones23]

We lose anymore this week and theres a real possibility we go to Wednesday next Saturday with a worse bench (attacking wise) than they have

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Based on what exactly

If it’s his shoulder he’ll have to have surgery, will be months. It’s a massive concern

You still are one. Any team in this league misses 3 of their starters when they don't play

I didn't say it couldn't be his shoulder, but 'i don't see it being anything else' is just pure bed wetting.

 

[Dhinsa's_Millions]

Torp needs to turn up for the whole game today and not go all Trond Egil Solvedt on us.

 

[Tommo1993]

Overreaction or no, you want Rudoni in the team. Although sometimes, like EMC, he does far too much and fucks up the attack.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

who plays where Rudoni does?

helmets like Cam saying he was forgettable last week who cares? he’s our best player and likely to be out for a month or two.

more evidence we messed up the transfer window that the happy clappers still deny

 

[b12345]

Can't believe I'm reading people saying that there won't be a drop off with Torp in the 10 instead of Rudoni. Watch Rudoni's movement during a game and the positions he picks up. You need a physicality and instinct to play that role which Torp doesn't have.

 

[torchomatic]

I'd rather Eccles than Sheaf. Pleased he's back. Losing Rudoni is a blow, but fuck me, there are some babies on here.
