It's only August and Julien is already being sent to Coventry - Match Thread 13:12 - Aug 21 with 49908 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.

Dunne lucky to get away with only a yellow from that elbow.

Definition of schoolboy error from Morgan passing across back four. Suppose have to remember he is still a teenager. And also today's fashion of pissballing around means plenty of square passes like that. Grrim.

If this manager continues with this fuxxing sorry goal kick routine with this goalkeeper and these players then he's clinically fuxxing insane

The lads who played well in against plymouth no where to be seen, recent purchases sat on the bench.

Questions being asked here that's for sure.

Absolutely shocking. Stefan will appear with his nice smile and good teeth and say it is the project .....to get relegated. This is dreadful. Unfit and just typical of a forign manager who thinks he can play it differently in the Championship. He didn't watch any of our games as he said or he is an imbecile. His Plymouth decision annoyed me especially as he was saying i am so proud when all us us were just pissed off. He is proving a disaster.

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 !


The geezers a stooge, the players know that and they’ve thrown the towel in.

Total shambles.

Resting this lot in that Plymouth game was so obvious essential...

I reckon it was to save them the embarrassment of losing down there as opposed to avoiding injury, because they absolutely would have done.

Gotta a feeling our new coach won't last to long , hope I'm wrong.


He is so clearly part of a team though. He goes, DeSouza, Nourry and Ben Fckn Williams should pss off too...

Can we go out yet?

Esquadinha is the only one doing some things right at times. Nice little chip into Field's feet in the box there but, as Sam's 1st touch reminded us, what's the point in that?

We have been so far off it physically this season.

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

Very depressing


Fitness team should all be sacked and repay any money paid this last lsix months

We've let eight goals in and all of them defensive shockers. Hollowness aside, what has Steve Bould added?

And if the project thinks Saito is the solution, then the algorithm is asking the wrong questions.

Just back from my holiday, and I was going to ask if this is how we are right now as I've not seen any of the past games. Going by the comments, I'm hoping this is an off day. It really is awful.

Kolli put a decent pass to Morgan in space but he didn't take the opportunity to shoot and lost the ball with a poor touch. Our first chance.

Feel like he has a bit of that in him when the chips are down which isn't ideal in your captain
