So who links up with the striker? Jones likes to get the ball and run with it. O'Hare is a similar sort of player too. If we're playing two ACM's you need at least one acting more like the second striker assisting the main forward and acting as a foil to O'Hare, creating space for him. Jones...

But we probably did the same with Kastaneer the year before. We didn't bring him in with the intention of not having him in the squad - he was going to be the superstar. You can bring someone in intending for a particular outcome but for whatever reason it doesn't work out that way. Hilssner's...

He was a mainstay at a time when we were playing a totally different formation. He was a wide forward in a three, almost operating as a winger. We looked solid using that but at no point did we look like runaway winners. That came after the switch of formation, which we arguably wouldn't have...

It wouldn't surprise me if his legitimate businesses were all massive failures and he relied on his TV work and less salubrious means to maintain his wealth.

A model many top clubs now employ, Chelsea esp.

But then none of theri rich mates and donors would be making any money and we can't be having that now!

That's some feat cos he's a fat fucker!

The rules aren't helping at all and VAR could be very useful if it was used sensibly. It's not. It's everything that is bad about having video refs and considering how many sports have done it before you have to question if it's by design. They want it to be rubbish so it gets binned off.

He did. It took him quite a few games to get into his stride and early on was responsible for a couple of goals against due to giving the ball away close to our own area. Same way the memory of McAllister is he was great. Fact is first season he was underwhelming, second he was just above...

Right now as long as we didn't lose it'd be OK but I erring towards a win more than a loss despite them having just come down. Early on is good time to be playing them as they may have the relegation hangover. Also sold a fair few players.

Shipley may be being played as a DCM, but he isn't a DCM. His best attributes are going forward. IMO Shipley in for Allen next game

Shipley is the most obvious - links up well with the striker and can be a threat himself. If Hilssner gets fit he also needs giving a go to see how he links up. But with injuries we do look like we could do with someone with pace as an option as well. Hilssner isn't that man. Jobello maybe but...

He moves in mysterious ways. Or barely at all yesterday.

Makelele and Kante are the main ones I can think of.

Fixed

But when you've got a deadly pandemic around they need to be allowed much louder voices. Certainly on a par with the usual economy driven rhetoric. Businesses leaders are allowed opinions on how stuff like healthcare and education should be run.

Meanwhile Johnson's dad who is in the vulnerable age category can fuck off whenever he likes to pretty much wherever he likes.

You'd think it could be as you need to ensure the NHS/PHE tests get a validation code but given how often left and right hand aren't even aware of each others existence let alone knowing what it's doing it's probably going to be way more convulted than you'd expect. It's like the govt database -...

I think it can work both ways to be honest. Home crowd can give an advantage if it can intimidate opposition, esp near the end when the intensity of the crowd increases due to the nerves. But at the same time it can be detrimental to a home team as the expectation is higher and a crowd that is...

I think we've got a chance against Bournemouth but it'll be hard. An average of a point a game would be OK at this stage but you never know until the game. Maybe one or two will have an off day against us. As long as we're competitive in those games and don't lose all of them or the ones we do...
