It's only August and Julien is already being sent to Coventry - Match Thread 13:12 - Aug 21 with 48612 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.

I don't think Cook is the best option. Unless it's for advertising new and improved Hair-o-Grow.

So injured:

JCS
Frey
Chair
Poku
Larkeche

Unfit:
Dembele
Kolli
Kone
Cook

TWO games in.

Fck loading, fck science. We give up 5-6 games each season. Bottom by the end of September comes round, then fully expecting our mid table squad when everyone is "fit" to catch up with everyone else.

Clown 🤡 club in the extreme.

Throwing a game in the Champ because our new French Head Coach believes he can judge who the best Champ teams are and this lot are, in his opinion in the top three.

If our players are being told that, they will not get at them early on and if they do not do that we know what happens...

4-0 Cov.

Can we go out yet?

Indeed. I hate to say it, but Cook looks v close to being finished.
Maybe a handful of " get outta my pub" interventions still.left in the tank.


Didn't Cook offer to race one of the Twitterati/X boys to a race around the training ground a couple of weeks back? The 'fan' had tweeted Cook saying his legs had gone so Cook offered him a race. 🤣

As you get older it takes longer to get over injuries and retain and regain fitness. He could be really important to us again, yet.


Let's hope so. 34 is not that old.

It was a tough call today. Cook needs games to get sharp again and is our captain, Mbenque was very good in his only game for us at CB, Morrison was also good against Preston.

Not only have we never had the players to play out from the back - I think it’s highly unlikely we ever will do

I’m not saying hoof it as far as possible ever goal kick but

FFS!!!

Just invite pressure onto yourself for 11 mins and then surprise surprise they score - could of just kicked it in for them

Shouts to Koli for ‘running’ with the ball and nearly making it out of our own half

Straight through the middle without a hint of a challenge. You'll concede at any level doing that.
