Meaningless? It is our best chance of winning something. Most of the players have played a maximum of 4 games and have 3 weeks off after Saturday so can't be tired.
Yes when he went off the Captaincy passed to JDS, probably the quietest person in the team. If it was passed on through "longevity" that is worrying. He wasn't great yesterday but surely it should have gone to Pinnock.
So it is not true that only 2 out of our group of 5 are going on Wednesday, amazing how you know this. Do you think that the "tourists" Doug wants would have gone to City vs Hull? Do you think it is right that the loyal fans who sit in the "better" seats are being charged £40 on Wednesday for a...
There definitely seems to be something going on behind the scenes. Doug has become totally anonymous, apart from a panic message telling fans to get to the ground at 2.00pm vs Hull. Communication over the summer has been virtually non-existent. The people "running" the Club seem to want us to be...
Looking at Amenda I would guess he has never played in a Back 3 before last week. Happy to be proved wrong on that. He looks much more decisive playing as a 2 at Centre half where he can attack the ball, and knows his role.
If true, would be nice to be told rather than Fans 2nd guessing everything. However can't believe the Visa hasn't come through yet as I don't believe he would be allowed to even train.
I would play the Forest team against Villa. We can't go in to the Forest game with 6 or 7 changes. Let's go for it against Villa and try to get some confidence.
Our passing completion was 69%, with only 43 completed passes in the Final 3rd. We only gave away 9 fouls, 1 which was the red card, and 1 the penalty so only 7 fouls in the rest of the game. You are not going to win any game with stats like that.
Agree about being too nice. Who complained about Awonyi being sent off? Who complained about the penalty? I noticed that when the penalty was awarded Dunk ran 70 yards to get in the Refs ear even though he awarded the penalty. Look at the sending-off, Dunk immediately said "that's a red card"...
Awonyi cannot play upfront on his own. He has no pace (then again most of our players don't, a massive failing of our recruitment) to get away from players. Also the long ball tactic to him is pointless, he is very poor in the air (the miss at Plymouth), so not really seeing what £9 million has...
