It's only August and Julien is already being sent to Coventry - Match Thread 13:12 - Aug 21 with 51129 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.

Looks like we'll be spending the Eze windfall on paying off yet another management team (but the problems (owners and CN) will remain)

This is an awful performance, left at half time back at pre-game pub in Cov and they have it on Cov TV, even more torture. Men against boys really what are we. Coventry head and shoulders above us, serious questions on whether this stuff can continue.

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.


Fair. Hold my hands up as one who called him a 'french prick' a little while ago. In explanation I would say I was using the shorthand of French to single him out from all the other pricks out there.

But point accepted

Shit but local

Best message we can send out as fans is for every single one who’s there ( and still there) is to completely empty the away end on 80 minutes !
But they won’t and there will be some who stay and clap them off !!
