It's only August and Julien is already being sent to Coventry - Match Thread 13:12 - Aug 21 with 51094 viewsFDC

In 20 odd years I don't think I've ever started one of these.

I'm thinking (hoping) we will go with a three man midfield this weekend, with Morgan, Field and Varane. Coventry scored five last weekend! We can't afford to concede too early, and will need to score first to get anything out of it IMO. An early Coventry goal, supporters getting aggy... gulp.

We all want a box-to-box no. 8, but these players are high value and not easy to sign on the cheap. He's young, and a bit slight, but I wonder if we need to start thinking about cultivating Morgan in this role as a long term solution? We know he can get stuck in, he's got bags of energy, and popped up with an absolute thunder-bastard last weekend.

Poku being out actually makes this an easier decision to make, because we can play Chair and Dembele either side of Burrell (or Kone if fit) without agonizing over who gets left out.

Presumably Dunne returns at RB, Esquardinho returns at LB, and Morrison and Mbengue start at CB.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣 6-0.

Stèphan might be doing a Bobby Gould after this. I'm just laughing at this and never done that on 40 odd years. My anger will come after my 3rd beer.

The manager is finished.


You’ve been telling everybody all summer this is going to be great.

I miss the sht performances and 4-0 wins.

The experienced players on this pitch should be throroughly ashamed .

Taking the young lads off really is an insult . Morgan gave a goal away and was poor .
Esquirdinha actually was a very dim light that I thought we should encourage .


This is beyond embarrassing.
It’s a sackable offence for all involved

Madsen on lol


Well Morgan was having a shocker. But Field not involved and Dembele knocked off the ball by every contact.
SO, lose the midfield, lose the game.

Frankly, its hard to see Madsen being worse than those 3

I honestly thought we’d get thumped today, like a 3-0, but was willing to wait for a couple of additions, like Norf suggests, but being 5 down at HT is unacceptable at ANY level whatsoever.

It proves that this regime is all bullsht, nothing else and they do not have a CLUE what they are doing.

I mean, what does this “slow-burner” fitness thing tell opposition teams, other than to tear into us because we’re, by deliberate design, unfit?

My sincere condolences to all those up there watching this.

Our club is a disgrace, top to bottom.

I need a SAGA. What’s the SAGA? It’s ….. Queen’s Park Rangers.

I understand the anger at this display but making derogatory comments in which the manager's nationality is mentioned is just plain wrong for me.
