It's only August and Julien is already being sent to Coventry - Match Thread 13:12 - Aug 21 with 75774 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.

Walsh’s goal just went down with cramp….

This club used to mean something, what’s the betting for a kelman hat trick next week

And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles Brian Moore

Has there ever been a 10 in the Championship? We must be going for the record.


It looks like 8-0 is the Championship record. Wigan v Hull 2020?

7-0 down, the perfect moment for the manager and his coaching staff to stare and point at the screen of their pitch side laptop again.

Dembele looks like he has cramp or an injury. We are so undercooked fitness-wise it's laughable. This is on Nourry and Williams.

I've got a bad feeling about this game. If we don't pull our socks up I think we could be staring down the barrel here, mark my words.

This the weird thing. The players signed have made us a better squad than last season, not sure anyone can argue Kone, Mbengue etc don't. But then to not play Mbengue, Kone is shocking.

When did we last conceded 7? Was it Sheffield Wednesday back in 1987?

Leeds 6-1. Was there too.


Me too but at least we went 1 nil up.

Anyway, Spriboks v Wallabies on Sky, far more appealing

It isn't remotely shocking to not start with a man who hasn't had much of a pre-season and isn't anywhere near fully fit.
