....therefore I thinkI am
why?Must win
I thought that was for 2 hours only?Yeah, looking forward but not to driving back. We have parking in the Asda next to the ground, so at least we won't have to drive around for a parking spot, which can be pretty stressful, particularly when running late.
Haha therein lies the problem. We’ve been too happy with a point lately and really need 3.Would be happy with a point.
Auto? I’d snap your hands off for a playoff place at the rate we’ve picked up points lately.Take a draw but need to pick up away wins if serious about a auto challenge.
Come on city
A good away win will do wondersHaha therein lies the problem. We’ve been too happy with a point lately and really need 3.
100%, I’m sick of seeing Saka remain on the bench when it seems obvious to me he either should have started or come on for Palmer/Ayari etc, obviously Robins knows best but at times I do wonder what’s going on in that head of hisWe've got to use the squad tonight. It's a strength.
And if Sakamoto comes in play him in a more attacking role.
I've not been convinced by him when he's played centrally. He looks great offensively on the wing but a bit lost in the "10" role.100%, I’m sick of seeing Saka remain on the bench when it seems obvious to me he either should have started or come on for Palmer/Ayari etc, obviously Robins knows best but at times I do wonder what’s going on in that head of hisIt’s like we score one goal and then gradually start sitting back for the rest of the game, don’t take the initiative to go and put it to bed and then inevitably end up conceding as we’ve invited all the pressure back on us.
I really think we should start seeing something different because it’s getting a bit long in the tooth seeing the same old formation when we’re drawing every week. I realise a point is a point and fair enough we’ve not been defeated in a long time so there are positives but we do need to start winning games and stop being so cautious and tentative with our passing, move the ball forwards rather than sideways. I think Saka will be itching to show what he can do, really think we should make use of him a lot more.
Yeah I know what you mean, that’s the one issue with him and our system, he seems like a wingback without the “back”, he doesn’t seem to have the strength to carry out the defensive part that well compared to Van Ewijk, so he’s basically a winger but we don’t play wingers so he’s sort of lost in our team at this point. He can’t play wingback as MVE is doing a great job at that and he maybe lacks the physicality to play CAM, so it’s a tricky one. Personally I’d give him another shot as CAM if we returned to the box formation, I think having someone along side to help him might see us get the best out of him.I've not been convinced by him when he's played centrally.

I mean we've had plenty of time to purchase , although I was contemplating taking my youngest daughter tooNo pay on the gate.
The last one was must win, this one is must win, and the next one is must win.why?
Why do they do no POTG? Just ease of staffing or in case loads turn up they can’t fit in or what?
Once he's up and running he'll be a beast, half the league wanted him for a reason and Mowbray spoke highly of him, still a coup and backing him to be a huge successHope Simms comes in and scores really. It would do his confidence a world of good - and there certainly is a good player in there I think
I agree, I’m down with the idea of starting Lati as defensive midfielder, I know some on here are dead against it and Robins has basically ruled it out anyway but is Lati as a defensive midfielder that much worse than Kelly or Eccles? Personally I don’t think so and Lati has the legs to last the whole game, would take a bit of adjusting but we have the defensive depth to fill in for his space at LCB/RCB, this is the sort of thing we should be trying rather than being on the back foot all the time.Kelly and Eccles is not something I'm thrilled about, but for 50-60 odd minutes they looked alright.. it's just where we go after that when we need a change that's the issue. Only real option I can think of is starting Kitching and Thomas and then subbing Lati on as a defensive mid? Not ideal but probably better than keeping Kelly on for 90 minutes?
That was my thinking too. Lati can play the whole game at DM if he needs to, has the pace on Kelly and we have a solid selection of defenders.I agree, I’m down with the idea of starting Lati as defensive midfielder, I know some on here are dead against it and Robins has basically ruled it out anyway but is Lati as a defensive midfielder that much worse than Kelly or Eccles?

There is definitely a balance to strike but we definitely need to be more forward-thinking and ruthless instead of being ultra cautious about everything.
