It's only August and Julien is already being sent to Coventry - Match Thread 13:12 - Aug 21 with 48611 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.

Fitness team need to have a long hard look at themselves.

Very depressing

Dreadful error from Morgan. Thomas-Asante for 2-0

We are being totally out-played. Everything is amiss. Questions need to be asked.


And that's 2 thanks Morgan

terrible mistake from morgan but can someone remind me why we insist on playing out of the back with a keeper who is so uncomfortable with ball at feet?

Fk me.

This is plumbing new depths, even for us

Our ball retention is woeful. So casual and half arsed and slow to everything

Just WOW!

Well the 3 man midfield made a difference 🤣. I'm not getting angry as they could run in 6 here.

Trying to play out from the back with two cov forwards pressing the box.
What the actual feck are they thinking?

Did I ever mention that I was in Minder?

For the first I thought Morgan should've pressed the CB rather than drop off and let him progress/leave it to Burrell, he then let the scorer run in untracked and unchallenged, he let the game completely pass him by.

And for the second...wow! He's having a 'mare here.

The performance is as ugly as that abomination of a shirt..

Have we crossed the halfway line? This is going to be 4 or 5 - 0.

Coventry look better, quicker, fitter, stronger than us in every department. They look disciplined, they look drilled. We look none of these things


To be fair when was the last time we looked quicker, fitter and stronger than our opponent?

A depressing watch but keep plugging away boys.

You see, you can play whoever you like , wherever you like ….BUT THE METHOD / PATTERN OF PLAY / SET UP DOESNT WORK with this set of players .

Said it every week practically and we still F*ck about hoping this week it will work .


Stéphan has to change it and throw Nourry’s dogs*it in the bin .

NOW !! Or it’s his reputation that will sink with us .

And I’m still reading crap this morning that ‘we look much better than years before ‘.

You and this coaching staff are on a different planet .
Wise up !

What the living f*ck was that?

That 'pass' from Morgan was so shocking, so utterly self-destructive, it actually looked to me corrupt.

Game over - probably now just a question of how many Coventry score/when they declare.
